Despite the outrageous move he pulled off in the match against RC Strasbourg, there are numerous reasons why Neymar Jr is one of the top PSG players in French Ligue I. Neymar is known for his PSG tournament performances right from 2017, having scored 115 goals and assisted in 75 goals in his 163 PSG matches so far. Neymar has also greatly helped the PSG squad hold the lead this season with 11 league goals and 10 assists. However, the footballer will go through at least one match suspension after he was sent off in the Strasbourg match.

While Sergio Ramos didn’t have the opportunity to play in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and even though his deal with the Parisian football club will end in June 2023, we still have our eyes on him. While he hasn’t had the best season so far (he has only assisted in one and scored zero goals), the senior player might have a point to prove to his detractors off the field. After all, Sergio Ramos has won five LaLiga titles, four Champions League titles, two Euro Cups, and even a FIFA World Cup in his career.
4. Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi, the iconic footballer who led Argentina to lift the world cup in Qatar, will not be seen in PSG just yet. However, he is still one of the star players that the Parisian club can count on for their upcoming matches. After his massive victory in Qatar, Messi mania has taken over the world. So needless to say, if you are a Messi fan or even if you’re one of his new admirers, get ready to witness his magic yet again as he begins playing for Ligue 1 in January 2023. One of the best PSG players to watch out for, if there ever was one.
5. Sergio Rico

Spanish goalkeeper Sergio Rico joined the Ligue 1 champions in 2019. Having begun his career with Sevilla FC, he will continue to play with the Parisian club till 2024. The 29-year-old Spaniard is certainly one of the top PSG players who has often saved his team from the jaws of defeat. We hope to see more of him before he officially begins his tenure with Lazio in Serie A.
