Paris Saint-Germain Football Club was founded in 1970. [1] Since that time, PSG has competed in numerous nationally and internationally organised tournaments, and 511 players have played in at least one match with the club's first team. [2] 151 of these players have graduated from the Paris Saint-Germain Academy. [3] [4]
The list below features all players who have played in between 25 and 99 matches in official competitions for Paris Saint-Germain. [5] Among them are club greats such as Ronaldinho, Carlos Bianchi and Jean Djorkaeff. [6]
Jean Djorkaeff was both PSG's first star and first French international player. The formidable right-back shocked French football with his move to the Parisians, whom he led to the Division 2 title in 1971. His son, Youri Djorkaeff, also played for the club, following his father's footsteps and guiding them to the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup title in 1996. [6] [7]
Carlos Bianchi signed for PSG in 1977 and had an exceptional first season, scoring 37 goals in 38 matches. In 1978, with 28 goals, he was once again crowned France's top scorer, but the Argentine goal machine would never win a trophy in France. [6]
Ronaldinho also didn't need to win a trophy with PSG to become a club legend. The Brazilian star thrilled fans at Parc des Princes with his mercurial dribbling skills as well as producing some stunning performances and goals, away to Marseille and Guingamp. [6]
