Against Metz, Gonçalo Ramos (24), the Paris Saint-Germain striker, didn’t just “pad his stats”: he gave a masterclass in teamwork. According to Paris Stats Germain on X, the Portuguese player racked up a personal best in Ligue 1 touches, while also scoring and assisting in the same match.
By completing 3 dribbles (out of 6), Ramos broke another personal record in Ligue 1 yesterday against Metz
This is the second time in his career that Ramos has both scored and assisted in a Ligue 1 match. The first time was on April 27, 2024, against Le Havre.
Ramos touched the ball 50 times against Metz yesterday. This is his record for a Ligue 1 match!
His average per 90 minutes is 37 (in Ligue 1)
Ramos’s performance was that of a striker who embraces the role of the moment… and fills it completely. His 50 touches (a Ligue 1 record) don’t tell the story of an “overused” player, but rather one who is available: to secure the attack, connect with the defense, and provide a focal point when PSG needs a focal point.
The stats sheet confirms this: 29 successful passes out of 31, two key passes, one assist, and one goal, plus 12 touches in the penalty area. Even his three successful dribbles out of six speak volumes: he tries, he creates chances, but without seeing himself as the main attraction. Selflessness, discipline, and an impeccable substitute’s attitude—invaluable, therefore.
In a squad where status changes rapidly, this kind of match creates a rare commodity: the coach’s confidence, because it’s built on performance—not on weekend moods.
