When he's not orchestrating midfield, creating space or intensely pressing, PSG midfielder Marco Verratti is showing his creativity and cutting edge by assisting goals. He has been a vital cog for the French giants since joining in 2012 and has only become more crucial to how their midfield functions.

The Italian is known for controlling the tempo of the game and never rushes into making rash decisions. He is adept at playing both as a holding midfielder and in a more advanced role and that only increases the confidence he brings to the PSG midfield.

The man who initiates most attacks from deep has also proved that he could be the one providing the final pass before the ball is buried in the net. Till date, Verratti has registered 58 assists for the Ligue 1 club.

PSG's only concern has been that the 29-year old has been prone to injuries throughout his career. But commendably, he walks into the team after recovering like nothing happened.


#2 Kylian Mbappe - 73 assists

That his dream destination lies elsewhere is no longer a hidden fact, but Kylian Mbappe has done everything he can in his power to help PSG in every capacity. At just 22, such is his impact that the French forward is considered the most important player in the front-three of himself, Messi and Neymar.

Scoring goals is his duty and he does it with pride for both club and country. But he is not shy of setting up his team-mates to finish if that is the demand of the moment. Ask a certain Karim Benzema if you don't believe us!

Sometimes accused of being a little selfish, Mbappe has the second-most assists at PSG from the current lot. With 73 assists from 188 games, the France international always finds some way of being involved in a goal. In his four seasons with the club, he has won the Ligue 1 Player of the Year award twice.

Speaking of assists, it's fair to mention that Mbappe provided the all-important assist in the 2020 Champions League quarter-final against Atalanta. The injury-time winner, scored by Choupo-Moting, sent PSG into their first Champions League semi-final since 1995.


#1 Angel Di Maria - 113 assists

He's selfless, he's direct, he's loved in Paris. Angel Di Maria is PSG's all-time leader with the highest number of assists for the club. The Argentine joined PSG after what was a tough time with Manchester United where he couldn't settle and the fans weren't impressed with him. But he turned his fortunes around in France.

In his 273 appearances for PSG, Di Maria has accumulated 113 assists. He started building his legacy in his first season itself by winning a domestic quadruple with the French giants in 2015-16. He set the record for most assists in a single Ligue 1 season with 18 in that campaign.

Di Maria also delivered a man-of-the-match performance on PSG's most important night in the Champions League. He scored one and provided assists for two other goals in the 3-0 win over RB Leipzig, sending them to their first final.

In his Champions League career, Di Maria has 34 assists in 95 games, that's one every third game. The PSG forward is now 33 and will begin the twilight of his career, but he could still be a very important player for the club when Mbappe leaves.
