  • Paris Saint-Germain set a new World Cup record with eight different players scoring in the 2026 tournament.
  • This surpasses the previous record of seven scorers held by Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona.
  • The record includes players at the time of their World Cup call-up, with Goncalo Ramos being the eighth scorer for PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain has etched its name in the history books of the 2026 World Cup by becoming the club with the most individual goal scorers in a single tournament edition. A total of eight PSG players found the back of the net, surpassing the previous record of seven held by Bayern Munich in 2014 and matched by FC Barcelona in 2018.

The French club's achievement was cemented when forward Goncalo Ramos scored for Portugal against Croatia, becoming the eighth PSG player to register a goal in the current tournament. Statistics from Opta, which consider the players' clubs at the time of their World Cup call-up, include Ramos despite his recent transfer to AC Milan.

Among the eight scorers are Nuno Mendes and Joao Neves for Portugal, Achraf Hakimi for Morocco, Ibrahim Mbaye for Senegal, and three French internationals: Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, and Desire Doue. With 50% of their 16-player contingent having scored, PSG showcased a broad attacking threat throughout the competition. Five other PSG players remain in contention to add to the club's tally.
