PSG have stolen the thunder in Europe this season with their activity in the transfer window, having signed some of the biggest superstars in world football including Lionel Messi.
While Messi's signing was arguably the head-turner, they have also signed some very talented young players like Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi. Not to mention the capture of Sergio Ramos as well, which means PSG now have Barcelona and Real Madrid's captains from last season.
With Messi, Ramos and co. joining a team that already as the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, PSG now have the most high-profile team in Europe - a new age galacticos so to speak.
But this is not the first time that Les Parisiens have signed the top names in the world. There have been some very big names who have plie their trade for the Parisiens much before their rise to prominence.
Obviously, after Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) took over the club as their owners in 2011, the Ligue 1 giants have roped in the best players in the world.
From Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to Neymar (who joined the club for a world record transfer fee of €222 million), let us take a look at some of the top stars who have played for PSG.
