Lucas Moura had been playing under this number before his move to Tottenham Hotspur last season and after his exit, Rabiot briefly filled in as the PSG No. 7. However, after a spectacular summer, which saw Mbappe win the 2018 FIFA World Cup with France, the teenage sensation has been rewarded with an upgrade from the No. 29 he played in last season
Mbappe is a traditional No. 7, blessed with pace and trickery and has been closely monitored ever since he broke through the Monaco ranks. He scored 21 goals from 44 appearances for PSG last season and at the World cup, mesmerized everyone with his cracking speed and matured finishing. He was adjudged the Best Young Player of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

This season, Mbappe does not seem to have any intentions of resting on his laurels. Starting as the No. 7 now, he already has 3 goals from 2 games he has played so far. Touted as the man to take over the mantle from Ronaldo and Messi in the near future, Mbappe could frequently be in the news this season as the PSG No. 7 aims big this year.
#7 Fact: This is the first time that Mbappe is wearing the No. 7 in his career.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
