The prestigious Onze Mondial has unveiled its 2024/2025 Golden XI, and Paris Saint-Germain is particularly honored. No fewer than five Parisians feature in this team of the year: Achraf Hakimi (26 years old), Willian Pacho (23 years old), Nuno Mendes (23 years old), Vitinha (25 years old), and Ousmane Dembélé (28 years old). This is further proof of PSG’s growing influence on the European scene.
Seeing five PSG players named in Onze Mondial’s “XI d’Or” says a lot about the stature the club has taken on in the European collective imagination. First, the simultaneous presence of Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes on the flanks confirms that the Parisian club arguably boasts the most explosive full-back duo in Europe. In central defense, Willian Pacho has already emerged as a revelation, capable of eclipsing more high-profile names.
In midfield, Vitinha embodies the rise in quality of PSG’s technical sector, now recognized beyond France. Finally, the inclusion of Ousmane Dembélé highlights the renewed confidence and influence of the French winger since arriving in Paris. By concentrating so much talent in this symbolic eleven, PSG is signaling its ambition: not just to be a club of stars, but a true collective benchmark at the highest level.
