With his blistering runs and swirling movements, Angel Di Maria remains unstoppable when he is in the mood. The Argentine is technically gifted and opens up opponents' defenses by simply gliding past defenders as if they were not there. It goes without saying that Di Maria is a sensation with the ball.

Di Maria moved to PSG in 2015 after a short and troubling stint at Manchester United. The 33-year-old is a winger but had to shift his position in midfield to accommodate Kylian Mbappe in the team. Despite the difficulties, Di Maria has proven himself to be a serious threat even when operating from the right.

Di Maria is not just a gifted dribbler but his final balls from wide areas are also exceptional. Through his powerful displays, the veteran has racked up 89 goals and 112 assists for PSG so far.

#2 Ronaldinho

#1 Neymar

There is a reason why Neymar is one of the most fouled players on the planet. More often than not, the Brazilian winger would just dislodge defenders with his skill, which leaves fouling as the only option to stop him. In other words, Neymar is unstoppable when he is in full flow and he has proved just that for PSG.

On the left wing, Neymar likes to cut inside and breeze past defenders with his sublime dribbling. With tricks up his sleeve, he can do all sorts of things to ridicule defenders and create openings. It's no surprise that the winger leads the list when it comes to attempted dribbles or dribbles completed.

Since his arrival from Barcelona, Neymar has amassed 88 goals and 54 assists in all competitions for PSG. Despite being injured numerous times, the 29-year-old's statistics shows how important he has been for Les Parisiens's success.
