With Neymar and Kylian Mbappe hogging the limelight at PSG in recent years, Angel Di Maria has been immensely underappreciated. The Argentine winger has been a persistent creative force from the flanks, with his final balls helping his teammates score goals more often than not.

Di Maria has been versatile for PSG, playing on the wings and in midfield as per the team's requirements. Despite his limited game time, Di Maria racked up 18 assists in the previous campaign and remains one of the main chance creators for the Ligue 1 giants.

With his swirling runs, flair on the ball and decisive crosses, Di Maria remains a force to be reckoned with in the PSG squad. It would be wise for Mauricio Pochettino to utilize the veteran Argentine more than usual as Di Maria is someone who can go past any defensive barrier on his day.


#2 Neymar

With a jaw-dropping set of skills, Neymar is on a different level when it comes to creativity. Neymar's marvelous dribbling, effortless passing and chemistry in the final third can break any defensive barrier. The Brazilian has not been a regular for PSG due to numerous injuries but he remains one of the most creative outlets on the pitch.

54 assists in 123 appearances - Neymar's statistics are proof of his caliber. Barring goalscoring, the winger has helped set up a plethora of goals for his teammates. The biggest boost for Neymar this campaign will be the reunion with his old friend Lionel Messi in Paris.

Neymar's chemistry with Messi at Barcelona caused a lot of problems for opponent defenses. With Messi and Mbappe alongside him now, Neymar's productivity for PSG in the final third is also expected to increase this campaign.


#1 Lionel Messi

One of the greatest of all time, Lionel Messi needs no introduction. The genius has shown his creativity countless times for his former club Barcelona and has amassed a whopping 301 assists to his name. Due to Messi's caliber, he is a better creator than anyone else at PSG.

Despite the tremendously high output, Messi's creativity goes beyond just assisting goals. The Argentine magician often initiates an attack by dribbling past defenders or finds a ridiculous opening for his teammates. With a unique mix of raw skill, unparalleled vision and knack for generating attacks, Messi's ability to create chances from thin air is nothing short of genius.

It should come as no surprise that Messi takes our #1 spot for being the most creative player at PSG right now.
