Ranking the 5 oldest goalscorers for PSG
PSG have always been well-known in French football, even before their takeover by the Qatari Sports Investment company. The club have been home to some of the biggest names in world football, including the likes of Ronaldinho, Jay-Jay Okocha, Mikel Arteta, and Mauricio Pochettino.

Although they had some of the biggest names in their ranks, PSG were not among the most successful French clubs. This changed when the takeover happened in 2011.
The club has since been able to bring in the best goalscorers in the world regardless of their ages. They signed the teenage Kylian Mbappe and older players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lionel Messi.
Without further ado, here is a list of the 5 oldest PSG goalscorers ever.
#5 Dominique Baratelli (35 years, 8 months and 26 days)
Goalkeeper Dominique Baratelli signed for PSG from OGC Nice in 1978 after establishing himself as one of the best shot-stoppers in France. The goalkeeper managed to win two trophies as a PSG player, the Coupe de France in 1982 and 1983. He also showed a different skill from the one he was assigned primarily with his goalscoring ability.
Baratelli scored his only goal for the club in the 1982-83 season as he played a key role in their triumphant Coupe de France run. He made 593 appearances in Ligue 1 in his career and held the record for most appearances for a long time after his retirement in 1985.

Baratelli became a youth football coach after his retirement from professional football. He currently works with young players in the city of Cagnes-sur-mer in Southern France.
#4 Sergio Ramos (35 years, 9 months and 24 days)
Spanish defender Sergio Ramos joined PSG from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 after what seemed like a lifetime at his former club. The experienced defender missed a huge chunk of the season through injury before making his debut on 28 November 2021.
Ramos has made five appearances this season as he is still struggling with injuries. He has scored only one goal for the club, a close range finish against Stade de Reims in a 4-0 win on 23 January 2022. The defender was known for his outrageous goalscoring ability during his time in Madrid.

Ramos is being linked with a move away from Parc des Princes after his career at the club has failed to take off due to injuries. The Spaniard has fallen out of the reckoning in the Spanish national team as well.
