FIFA has unveiled the list of players nominated for its 2022 trophies and PSG is particularly well represented among men with several nominated, both for The Best (best player) and the Puskas award (most beautiful goal) .
At the start of 2023, FIFA has unveiled the list of players nominated for its prestigious trophy award. « The Best ». While the official ceremony will take place in a month and a half, PSG are proudly represented by four of their players among the 14 finalists listed. Unsurprisingly, the three Parisian attackers Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar claim it. Semi-finalist with Morocco at the World Cup, Achraf Hakimi also sees his name appear among the contenders for the distinction.
Kylian Mbappé does not stop there, not so well. The 24-year-old striker also claims the title of the most beautiful goal of the year, rewarded with the Puskas prize. The Bondynois volley in the World Cup final is selected along with ten other goals. PSG number 7 could succeed Olivier Giroud, the last Frenchman to win the trophy in 2017.
On the women’s side, however, PSG is not mentioned at all, neither among the best players or goalkeepers, nor among the most beautiful goals, which is a mixed prize.
