PSG have been the best team in France in the last decade.

PSG haven't been at their best this season. The French champions have had a tumultuous campaign so far, sacking Thomas Tuchel during the first half of the season. Now, with Mauricio Pochettino at the helm, PSG will be looking to get back to their dominant best during the final few months of this campaign.

The Parisians have been very inconsistent in Ligue 1, and currently find themselves third in the league table. PSG have been ravaged by injuries throughout the season, and haven't been able to truly build up a winning streak, often only stringing together three or four wins before faltering.

Top five PSG players this season

There is no doubt that PSG have one of the most talented squads in the world, and boast some of the world's best players. Some of these players have stood out with their performances this season. On that note, here are the five best PSG players in 2020-21


#5 Moise Kean

Moise Kean has completely rejuvenated his career since joining PSG on loan from Everton this season. The Italian has been a key player in Mauricio Pochettino's side, and has often deputised for the injured Neymar and Mauro Icardi.

The 20-year old has been on fire since joining the Ligue 1 outfit, scoring 13 goals in 22 appearances this season. His contributions have helped PSG cope without some of their more illustrious attackers such as Neymar.

If Moise Kean can continue producing performances like the way he has this season, PSG could make his move from Everton permanent, and he could be a fixture in Paris for years to come.


#4 Marco Verratti

Marco Verratti has proven himself to be one of the best midfielders in the world during his time at PSG. He has been one of the most important players for the French outfit over the years, and this season has been no exception.

Marco Verratti has run things from the middle of the park for PSG, and has been an absolute pitbull for the club. His vision and technical ability on the ball makes the Italian stand out from other midfielders. His ability to read the game and time his challenges to perfection make Verratti indispensable in PSG's midfield.

If Mauricio Pochettino's side are to win any silverware this season, one can be certain that Verratti will be an integral part of the same.

#3 Neymar

Brazilian superstar Neymar is one of the best players in the world, and quite possibly the best player in Ligue 1. The forward has been consistently world-class throughout his time at PSG. However injuries have blighted his stint in the French capital so far.

That has been the story for Neymar this season as well. He has been one of PSG's most influential players this season, but has struggled with spells on the sidelines due to injuries.

The Brazilian has only managed to make 11 appearances in Ligue 1 this campaign, due to injuries. Neymar, however, has shown his class when he has been on the field for PSG. The forward has scored 12 goals and four assists in 17 appearances for PSG across all competitions this season.

PSG will hope that the Brazilian can string together a run of games and remain healthy throughout the rest of the season, as Neymar will be key to their title aspirations.


#2 Angel Di Maria

Angel Di Maria has been PSG's provider-in-chief since he joined the club; that has been the case this season as well. The Argentine is one of PSG's most important players, with a noticeable difference seen in the team's play when the Argentine is not on the field.

The winger's craftiness with the ball and directness in approach make him a menace to play against. His playmaking abilities are right up there with the best in the world, and he has the stats to back them up as well.

Di Maria has bagged four goals and ten assists in 24 games across all competitions this season, and has been one of the club's most reliable players up front.

The Argentine is currently sidelined because of injury. But one would expect Di Maria to continue playing at a high level when he returns to the PSG squad.


#1 Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe has continued mesmerise one and all with his performances this season. The French superstar just seems to be getting better every year.

The striker is currently Ligue 1's top scorer, with 16 goals in 20 appearances. Mbappe has 18 goals and eight assists in 25 appearances across all competitions this season, and has been unstoppable for PSG. The Frenchman will be vital in PSG's charge towards silverware this season.

PSG know that Kylian Mbappe is soon going to be the undisputable best player in the world, so they would do well to tie the Frenchman down to a new contract at the club.
