The classification is not yet frozen, but PSG still manages to break records. Technically, the club of the capital was already beating one before this September 22. That of the largest number of players nominated in the top 30 of the Ballon d'Or, with 9 Parisians, ahead of Manchester City in 2023 (8 players) and FC Barcelona in 2011 (8 too).
This time, Paris is still a little more in legend. Despite the 24th, 19th, 14th, 14th and 12th respective places of Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves, Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Ile -de -France equal a record dating from 2014.
Equal PSG and broke records
It is, first of all, that of the greatest number of players from the same team to appear in the top 10 of the Ballon d'Or. So far, the Bavarian club had been the holder. Bayern placed Toni Kroos (transferred to Real Madrid), Philipp Lahm, Thomas Muller, Arjen Robben and Manuel Neuer at the 9th, 6th, 5th, 4th and 3rd steps. If the classification of PSG is not yet official, the men of Luis Enrique are also present 5 with Gianluigi Donnarumma (party since in Manchester City), Nuno Mendes, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha and of course Ousmane Dembélé.
PSG then established its own records, with 6 players in the Top 12, one more than Manchester City in 2023 and therefore that Bayern Munich in 2014. Even more. The capital's club records a second more impressive with 7 places taken in the top 15. No one is doing better.
