Who Is PSG’s Highest Goal Scorer?
Kylian Mbappé is Paris Saint-Germain’s highest goal scorer of all time. The French forward finished his PSG career with 256 goals in official competitions, moving clear of Edinson Cavani’s previous club record of 200 goals.
PSG’s all-time top goal scorers
Mbappé leads the Paris Saint-Germain scoring list after six seasons with the club. His total includes goals in Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the Coupe de la Ligue, the Trophée des Champions and European competitions.
- Kylian Mbappé: 256 goals
- Edinson Cavani: 200 goals
- Zlatan Ibrahimović: 156 goals
- Neymar: 118 goals
- Pauleta: 109 goals
Totals can differ between statistical databases because some sources count only competitive first-team matches, while others apply different rules to certain fixtures. The 256-goal figure is the widely recognised official PSG record for Mbappé.
How Mbappé became PSG’s leading scorer
Mbappé joined PSG from Monaco in 2017 and quickly became one of the most productive forwards in European football. He combined acceleration, movement behind the defence and finishing from both central and wide positions.
He scored consistently in domestic league matches, but his record also grew through repeated deep runs in the Coupe de France and Champions League. Mbappé became PSG’s all-time leading scorer in March 2023, surpassing Cavani, and extended the record during his final season in Paris.
Mbappé’s PSG scoring record compared with Cavani
Cavani spent seven seasons at PSG and had previously held the club record with 200 goals. The Uruguayan striker was especially prolific as a penalty-box finisher and remains one of the most important scorers in the club’s history.
Mbappé reached his total in fewer appearances than Cavani, giving him the best goals-per-match rate among PSG’s leading scorers. He also became the first player to score more than 250 goals for the club.
Who is PSG’s highest scorer in Ligue 1?
Mbappé is also PSG’s leading scorer in Ligue 1. His domestic league total for the club is 191 goals, placing him ahead of Cavani in PSG’s league scoring records. His Ligue 1 goals came across his time at PSG from 2017 to 2024.
For a current match-by-match comparison, it is useful to check whether a statistic refers to all competitions, Ligue 1 only or European matches. “PSG highest goal scorer” most commonly means the all-time official club record, which belongs to Mbappé.
