Mbappe, Neymar, Di Maria... & the key players behind PSG's Ligue 1 triumph

Paris Saint-Germain have won their sixth Ligue 1 title in seven years and they did it with weeks to spare.

While their 2018/19 Champions League campaign may have been a disappointment, the same cannot be said of their domestic performances.

The team from the capital have been brilliant in France and here we take a look at the main men behind the title win.

Kylian Mbappe

This is third league title in a row for Mbappe, who won it at Monaco before enjoying success in each of his first two seasons in Paris.

Last year he netted 21 goals and had 15 assists across all competitions, but he has taken that to an even higher level this year.

With 30 Ligue 1 goals, he is Lionel Messi's leading rival for the Golden Shoe.

He has also been a leader of this team at points when they were without Neymar or Edinson Cavani due to injury.

Neymar

Thomas Tuchel moved Neymar into a more central position this season and the statistics show that this was a success.

At the moment he went down with injury, he had played 13 Ligue 1 matches and had 13 goals and seven assists to his name.

Had he not suffered such bad luck with injury, the Brazilian would surely have added to these totals.

Edinson Cavani

With 17 goals in 17 Ligue 1 outings, Cavani has had another productive season.

He too has missed several matches due to injury, but he is still the third-top scorer in the league despite this.

Angel di Maria

Di Maria has been playing at a top level for some time now, basically since the start of 2018.

His contributions have helped the team cope with the absences of Neymar and Cavani.

With nine goals and 10 assists, he has helped the team collect the points needed for the title and he is the second-top assister in Ligue 1.

No matter where Tuchel put him positionally, the Argentine almost always delivered.

Marco Verratti

After a couple of seasons where Verratti played below his usual level, he has kicked on again under Tuchel.

The coach has made him the beating heart of the team's midfield and he has embraced that role.

With just one goal and two assists, it's clear that his impact cannot be measured by statistics.

The eye test, though, has shown his importance throughout the campaign.

Marquinhos

Marquinhos has had to play in a number of different positions, but he has been able to do this without many problems.

While he was criticised for his performance in the Champions League elimination against Manchester United, he has been solid in Ligue 1 and also has three goals and an assist.

Juan Bernat

The Spaniard moved to the Parc des Princes in the summer of 2018 and has had an impactful debut season in French football.

As a winger or full-back, he has been an important cog in the PSG machine in Ligue 1 and he has even played at centre-back or in central midfield on occasion.

With one goal and two assists, he even helped out in attack more than would be expected of a full-back.
