PSG are no longer content with ruling Europe. The Parisian club is also leaving its mark on this World Cup. According to Opta, eight PSG players have found the net during this edition of the tournament. A simply historic record.
PSG have shattered a historic record during the World Cup. Never before had a club counted so many different goalscorers in a single World Cup. After an already huge season, capped by another European crown, Paris are confirming their global weight with a stunning statistic that shows the influence of their squad on world football.
Eight PSG Goalscorers Make World Cup History
The players concerned are numerous: Mbaye, Hakimi, João Neves, Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Gonçalo Ramos and Nuno Mendes. Eight players, eight names, and a record that pushes PSG even further into the history of this World Cup. Previously, Bayern Munich and Barcelona had only counted seven goalscorers during the same edition.
Gonçalo Ramos is indeed included among the Parisian players. Even though his future has since evolved, the Portuguese striker still belonged to PSG at the time of his call-up for the World Cup. His presence in this statistic is therefore logical and validated in the count.
This record says a lot about PSG’s attacking power. Paris no longer depend on a single star or a single goalscorer. The danger comes from everywhere: forwards, midfielders, full-backs, senior players and young talents. For the capital club, this statistic arrives at the perfect time. European champions, dominant at club level and now record holders in a World Cup edition, PSG are clearly entering a new dimension. And it is not over yet, as the World Cup continues and we are only at the round of 16 stage.
