Over the last decade, PSG have seen a number of standout left-backs contribute to the club's rise on the domestic and European stages. From defensive stalwarts to explosive wing-backs, each brought their own style and impact to the club.

Top 5 best Paris Saint-Germain left-backs under QSI

5. Lucas Digne

Lucas Digne joined PSG from Lille back in 2013 as a young and promising prospect. Though he never became the first option at his position, remaining a decent back-up to Maxwell, he put in many good performances as he proved he had the talent to be an integral part of PSG's star-studded squad between 2013 and 2015.

Though, looking to earn more first-team minute at the highest level, he left the French capital and joined AS Roma on loan in 2015 before definitively joining FC Barcelona in 2016.

4. Layvin Kurzawa

LayvLayvin Kurzawa will certainly be mostly remembered by PSG fans thanks to his impressive offensive flashes as he remain the only defender to register a hat-trick in the history of the Champions League, in a game against Anderlecht.

However, his defensive inconsistencies were undoubtedly what cost a regular spot in PSG's squad. Nonetheless, he remains one of the best left-backs to play for Paris as he made 154 appearances for the club, contributing for 14 goals and 23 assists across his eight seasons spell in the French capital.

Though he was incredibly consistent for the team, making over 132 appearances for the club, he also struggled with some injuries that kept him out of the squad and ultimately cost him his place. Nonetheless, he won nine trophies in the French capital, including four Ligue 1 titles.

2. Maxwell

Undoubtedly one of the most influential players of PSG's early days under QSI. The Brazil international not only brought his calm and elegance to the team when he joined from Barcelona in 2012 but also his intelligence and experience to a club entering a new era.

Throughout his five years at the club he became a key figure, making 214 appearances and winning 14 trophies including four Ligue 1 titles. After retiring, he joined the PSG as a club representative as he helped to further PSG's growth into the European giants that they are today, cementing his place as a true club legend.

Across the first four seasons of his spell in the French capital, Nuno Mendes already made his way into PSG's hall of fame. The Portugal international delivered countless incredible performances for the club and played a crucial role in their treble winning 2024-2025 campaign as PSG lifted the Champions League for the first time in their history.

Though he is still young, the former Sporting Lisbon left-back proved that he is already one of the best player at his position in the world as he showcased throughout Paris' European campaign. The 23-year-old is a modern and explosive left-back who has the ability to completely control his flank while locking down some of Europe's finest right wingers. He is a rare talent with plenty of time ahead to continue cementing his legacy at the club.
