4 players with the most UEFA Champions League goals for PSG
PSG are among the favorites to win this season's UEFA Champions League. The French club have won an impressive 10 league titles with their overall official honors being a total of 40 trophies.
However, PSG are yet to lay their hands on the prestigious Champions League trophy. The closest they came to lifting the silverware was in 2020, when they lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich in the final. It was their first-ever appearance in the final and they lost narrowly to the then Hansi Flick's team.
Despite the club's inability to win the coveted trophy, PSG have maintained a dominant showing in the competition in recent years.
A few big players have also been prolific in front of goal for the French side in the Champions League. As such, this article looks at four top scorers for PSG in the competition.
#4 Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is arguably one of the biggest players to play for PSG in the club's history.
The Swedish forward joined PSG in the summer of 2012 from Italian club A.C. Milan for a transfer fee of €21 million. He went on to spend four seasons in France, and helped reshape the identity of PSG in Europe.
Ibrahimovic was also very prolific in front of goal, scoring a total of 156 goals in 180 games. He is also the club's fourth-highest goal scorer in the Champions League with 20 goals.
The Swede also holds the record for the most goals scored in the competition in a single season for PSG. He registered 10 goals during the 2013-14 campaign.
#3 Neymar
Another big-name player for PSG in the Champions League is Brazilian forward Neymar, who has been with the club since 2017.
PSG broke the world record for transfer fees when they activated Neymar's release clause at Barcelona in August 2017. The move was worth around €222 million, making the Brazilian the most expensive player.
