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

5. Gregory van de Wiel

Gregory van der Wiel joined PSG from Ajax Amsterdam back in 2012 coming to be Jallet's backup at first. However, the Netherlands international gained his spot as a regular starter of the team and delivered good performances for Paris as the QSI era started at the club.

Though, he never really delivered extraordinary performances in the Champions League, he was an integral part of PSG's domestic success throughout his four-year spell in the French capital. Van der Wiel made in total 132 appearances for the club.

4. Serge Aurier

Serge Aurier initially joined PSG on loan from Toulouse back in 2014 before joining on a permanent transfer in 2015 after putting in impressive performances during his loan. The Ivory Coast international then played an important role for the first two seasons of his tenure at the club, unfortunately, behavioural issues and declining performances slowly but surely put an end to his stay at the club.

Before joining the Premier League and Tottenham Hotspurs in 2017, Aurier made 81 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain. During his time at the club, he won the domestic quadruple twice (Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, League Cup).

3. Thomas Meunier

The Belgium international joined PSG from Club Brugge in 2016 and became at the time an important figure of the team. Though, his lack of defensive abilities sometimes costed his sides in the Champions League, his capacity to create danger offensively for his team were almost elite.

Across 128 appearances for the club, Thomas Meunier contributed for 13 goals and 22 assists, scoring important goals in the Champions League. He was part of the team that really dominated domestically, winning three Ligue titles, two Coupe de France, three League Cups and three Trophée des Champions in four seasons in the French capital.

2. Christophe Jallet

Christophe Jallet joined the club back in 2009, before QSI's takeover and became a very important player throughout his five years at PSG. The French international who made 198 appearances for the club put in many great performances in the early Champions League games of the team under QSI.

Overall, he won five titles with the club lifting two Ligue 1 trophies, one French League Cup, one French Cup and one Trophée des Champions before leaving in 2014 to join Olympique Lyonnais.

As of today, Achraf Hakimi is undoubtedly the best right-back in the world. The Morocco international put in unbelievable performances for the team since he joined PSG back in 2021. He is not only an incredible offensive presence for his side but also became amazingly reliable defensively, dominating in many of his match-ups notably in PSG's historic Champions league winning campaign. Additionally, the 26-year-old contributed for 11 goals and 16 assists across 55 games, his most prolific season at the club.

He is one of the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or this season after an amazing 2024-2025 campaign which cemented his place as Paris' greatest right-back.

Overall, Hakimi has made over 175 appearances for the club and signed a new contract extension that will see him stay at the club until 2029.
