7 players with the most trophies in PSG history

In light of their big-money takeover by the state-run shareholding organization Qatar Sports Investments, PSG have been transformed from a middling club to the single dominant force in France. They have practically bought their way to success under the watchful eyes of club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The business tycoon has aided the club in assembling one of the most glittering star-studded lineups of all time.

PSG have had many decorated players in their ranks

With the recent acquisition of Lionel Messi, Les Parisiens have added yet another superstar to their books with a knack for winning titles. Standing tall with a mind-boggling collection of 37 trophies, the Argentine is the second most decorated player of all time. However, Dani Alves comprehensively takes the cake with a tally of 43 career titles, making him the footballer with the best trophy record in football and PSG history.

Enigmatic full-back Maxwell is another name associated with the French giants to have won a bucket-load of titles, 37 to be precise. His favorite teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Beckham and Angel Di Maria are some other notable names with a sizeable trophy cabinet and PSG on their resume.

While most of the aforementioned players have had successful stints with a variety of clubs, several players have enjoyed plenty of success, exclusively in the French capital. Their recent upturn in fortunes has brought in a flurry of domestic trophies, refining the careers of multiple stars. On that note, let's take a look at the 7 players who have won the most trophies with PSG:

#5 Presnel Kimpembe and Javier Pastore - 19 titles

Sharing the fifth spot with 19 PSG titles apiece to their names, Presnel Kimpembe and Javier Pastore have had contrasting spells with the Parisians. Kimpembe has successfully cemented his place in the senior squad after impressing in their youth setup, making 196 appearances for his boyhood club.

With five Ligue 1 titles, five French Cups, four French League Cups and five French Super Cups to his name, Kimpembe is one of the most decorated defenders of all-time. Pastore has a similar trophy record, with one more French League Cup and one fewer French Cup wins to his name.

Despite his identical title haul, the Argentine faced a much more tumultuous time at the Parc des Princes. The first big signing of the Qatari era, Pastore's transfer was supposed to kickstart a new period of limitless success at PSG. However, the attacking midfielder could never set the stage on fire in the French capital, leaving the club in 2018, after seven years and 269 appearances.

#4 Adrien Rabiot - 20 titles

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester City FC - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: First Leg

One of the brightest stars ever to have come up through the ranks of PSG's youth setup, Adrien Rabiot was once viewed as the future of the club's midfield. Tall, strong and a promising talent with good technique and impressive physical qualities, Rabiot was an absolute gem.

During his seven-year stint with the senior squad, the French midfielder managed to rack up 227 appearances for Les Parisiens, winning 20 trophies along the way. His PSG resume includes six Ligue 1 titles, four French Cups, five French League Cups and five French Super Cups.

Following multiple disciplinary issues and a dispute regarding his contract, Rabiot was unceremoniously ousted from the club in 2019. He then chose to join Juventus after running down his contract. While the 26-year-old talented midfielder has continued to win silverware in Turin, he has failed to channel his true potential with the Bianconeri in the past two years.

#3 Edinson Cavani - 22 titles

The leading goalscorer in PSG's history with precisely 200 strikes, Edinson Cavani had to make an appearance on this list. Cavani joined Les Parisiens from Napoli in 2013 for a sizeable fee of €64.5 million. Due to his invaluable contributions, he will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the best signings made by PSG.

Aside from the gargantuan goal tally accumulated by the Uruguayan forward, he also recorded a total of 22 titles with the club. In his seven-year stay with PSG, Cavani added six Ligue 1 titles, four French Cups, five French League Cups and seven French Super Cups.

After winning every domestic title more than four times with PSG, Cavani finally announced in 2020 that he'd be departing the club. An absolute legend for the Parisians, the prolific striker is now working wonders with Manchester United at the ripe old age of 34.

#2 Marquinhos and Thiago Silva - 25 titles

The two defensive stalwarts of the most dominant PSG side in the past share the second spot. Both Thiago Silva, now a Chelsea player, and Marquinhos have amassed 25 titles with the nine-time Ligue 1 champions. Having inherited the captain's armband from Silva, Marquinhos is a commanding figure at the Parc des Princes.

The former Roma centre-half has been with the club for seven years now, making 334 appearances in that period. He has added six Ligue 1 titles, six French Cups, six French League Cups and seven French Super Cups to his PSG collection along the way.

While Marquinhos is the current defensive stalwart in the French capital, Silva was his predecessor. Having joined the club as a seasoned veteran in 2012, Silva went on to amass 25 titles in eight years with PSG. His trophy cabinet includes seven Ligue 1 titles, five French Cups, six French League Cups and seven French Super Cups. Two of the most reliable defenders ever to don a PSG jersey indeed.

#1 Marco Verratti - 27 titles

Finishing in the top spot is the current longest-serving player at PSG, Marco Verratti. The diminutive midfielder is one of the best central midfielders of his generation, possessing commendable dribbling skills and exceptional close ball control.

A product of Italian outfit Pescara's youth setup, Verratti joined forces with the Parisians in 2012 and has since gone on to achieve legendary status at the Parc des Princes. His ongoing nine-year stay in the French capital has reaped a whopping 27 titles, making him the player with the most titles for PSG.

At the time of writing, Verratti has seven Ligue 1 titles, six French Cups, six French League Cups and eight French Super Cups under his belt. With PSG constantly striving to better themselves on the continental stage, the Italian midfield maestro could soon add a European title to his trophy cabinet.
