5 best Paris Saint-Germain players right now based on ratings
Paris Saint-Germain, after failing to win the Ligue 1 title last season, are now firing on all cylinders in the French top division. They currently lead the table with 40 points in 15 matches, 12 more than second-placed Rennes.
The trio of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have been quite impressive but are yet to hit the highs one would expect of them. And while the club are back to their best in France, their Champions League form leaves a lot to be desired.
