Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) currently has one of the most dangerous teams in the world. The main attraction of the PSG team is their star-studded forward line which includes Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Kylian Mbappe.
Messi is probably the best player in football history, while Neymar is one of the best forwards of the 21st century. On the other hand, Mbappe will surely become the best player in world football in the future. When these three players are at their peak, no defense can stop them.
But which of these three superstar players is PSG’s best player at the moment? Who has contributed the most among them? So, let’s see how these three players have been lately.
Neymar Jr
The Brazilian star has been playing extremely well since the start of the season. But after the World Cup, there has been a big decline in his form. Neymar, who has played 24 games for PSG this season, has scored 16 goals and assisted in 15 more goals. After the World Cup, he has not managed to contribute even a single goal in a competitive match.
Lionel Messi
Messi left Barcelona in 2021 to join PSG on a free transfer. Messi, who struggled to perform well in the first season, is showing a very good performance in his second season.
Messi, who entered the World Cup with an excellent club rhythm, also won the title by playing an excellent game in the World Cup. The 2022 World Cup Golden Ball winner has scored 13 goals and provided 14 assists in 21 games for PSG this season. He has been the most important player for PSG this season.
Kylian Mbappe
One of the best players in world football right now, Mbappe almost single-handedly led France to a second consecutive World Cup win. Despite scoring a hat-trick in the final against Argentina, his team was defeated.
He scored 8 goals in the World Cup and won the Golden Boot. Currently, Mbappe, who is considered the fastest and most dangerous winger in world football, has scored 25 goals and provided 6 assists in 24 games for PSG in the current season.
Overall, choosing the best player among these three is a very difficult task. In terms of goal contribution, Messi has contributed 27 goals in 21 games for PSG this season, while Neymar and Mbappe have contributed 31-31 goals each. There is no doubt that Messi-Neymar-Mbappe is the most dangerous trio in world football at the moment.
But based on consistency and sheer quality, these three players can be ranked like this.
