Behind Mbappe and Messi is the enigmatic Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored 156 goals in just 180 games for PSG, per GOAL.

Currently recuperating from a knee injury, Neymar finds himself in fourth position with 111 goals in 159 appearances for Les Parisiens.

Mbappe recreates Mundial goal

Kylian Mbappe recreated his 2022 World Cup final goal as Paris Saint-Germain recorded an emphatic win over Olympique Marseille.

The Frenchman scored a sensational volley after he was put through on goal by a sumptuous Lionel Messi assist.

Mbappe's goal against Marseille was a complete replica of his strike against Messi's Argentina in the Grand Finale of the World Cup.
