Having been the clear winner of the 2021 summer transfer window, the Parisians currently boast one of the most star-studded squads in the world. Housing highly valuable players already, PSG took it a notch higher by signing the El Clasico captains within a span of a few weeks. Both of them, i.e. Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi, came on free transfers.
While we are left confused about who's the strongest player in the ranks of PSG, let's take a look at their most successful players in terms of trophy count.

#5 Sergio Ramos — 25
PSG secured the Sergio Ramos move much to the shock of countless Real Madrid fans. Signing the former Spanish captain as a free agent was an absolute bargain for the nine-time Ligue 1 champs.
Sergio Ramos has had a stellar career so far and now looks all set to conquer the French league. However, the former Real Madrid center-back is yet to play a game for PSG following an injury.
Sergio Ramos is one of the most decorated players in the history of Spain and Real Madrid and was at the forefront during big occasions. He is the only captain in the modern Champions League era to have won three back-to-back UEFA Champions League trophies.
Sergio Ramos' tally of 25 career trophies is highlighted by one FIFA World Cup, two EURO Cups and four UEFA Champions League titles.
#4 Marco Verratti — 28
Marco Verratti is considered one of the most hardworking and talented midfielders of the modern era. Verratti's diminutive stature makes him swift and the same becomes deadly when combined with his creativity.
Joining the Parisians in 2012, the Italian midfielder has played over 350 games across all competitions in PSG's kit. Verratti has been highly influential in each of his club's achievements.
Marco Verratti has stacked 28 career trophies so far in his cabinet. It also includes Italy's 2020 Euro triumph. The Pescara-born player has won Trophée des Champions eight times in a row. He has also won the Coupe de la Ligue back-to-back five times.
Despite a massive number of career trophies, Marco Verratti lacks a continental trophy with the club.
#3 Marquinhos — 28
Marquinhos won titles wherever he went. With Corinthians and PSG at club level and Brazil at international level, the 27-year-old has bagged 28 career trophies so far.
The Brazilian defender has entered his ninth season as a PSG player and second as the club's captain. Thiago Silva's departure in 2020 was expected to put a challenge in front of Marquinhos in terms of leadership and defensive roles. However, the former Roma man has been gracefully carrying out his responsibilities.
Marquinhos was part of the 2019 Copa America and 2016 Olympic Gold medal-winning Brazilian teams. An integral part of Brazil's Copa America 2021 campaign, Marquinhos narrowly missed out on adding another trophy to his collection.
He has won six Ligue 1 trophies in his eight years at the club.
#2 Angel Di Maria — 28
Considered one of the best Argentinian players of all time, Angel Di Maria has always been a part of a big club throughout his career. Angel Di Maria's four years at Real Madrid saw his career hit its peak. The Argentine winger earned widespread recognition and was wanted by many heavyweights around Europe.
Increased competition in the form of Real Madrid's record-breaking arrival, Gareth Bale, forced Angel Di Maria to graze for new turf. Di Maria left Los Blancos for Manchester United in 2014 after collecting six trophies at the Santiago Bernabeu.
However, a short but disappointing stint at Old Trafford saw the ex-SL Benfica forward switch to PSG in 2015. At the Parc des Princes, Maria found his lost form once again.
He went on to collect countless trophies with his new team and is now one of the most valuable players within the squad.
#1 Lionel Messi — 37
Lionel Messi stands atop every club and individual record. So, without much of a surprise, Lionel Messi is PSG's most decorated player in terms of team accolades. The former Barcelona man is also one of the players with the highest number of career titles in the history of football.
The Argentine was absolutely phenomenal during his Barcelona days and laid hands on every trophy that a player could win. At par with his rival Cristiano Ronaldo in almost every department, Messi filled the void of not having a title with the national team this year.
Argentina's 2021 Copa America victory came after a 28-year trophy drought. Leo Messi has won 10 La Liga and four UEFA Champions League titles, among others.
