2018 in review: Statattack (2/2)
In 2018, Paris Saint-Germain smashed a host of records, hogged the ball and scored goals... lots of goals. Check out more key stats from an exceptional year!
100
Paris scored 100 goals Ligue 1 in 2018, the second-highest goal tally in a calendar year in club history (behind 2017's 103 goals) and 28 more goals than other team in France's top flight over the same period.
19
Paris kept no fewer than 19 Ligue 1 clean sheets in 2018, more than any other club in the division.
15
Alphonse Areola kept 15 clean sheets and boasted an 81.1% save rate in Ligue 1 in 2018, the best such figures for any 'keeper in France's top flight having played at least ten matches.
28
Neymar Jr scored 19 goals and provided nine assists in Ligue 1 in 2018. The Brazilian was thus directly involved in 28 goals in France's top flight for the year.
4
Quadruples are pretty rare in Ligue 1, but two Paris Saint-Germain managed to pull off the feat in 2018: Neymar Jr against Dijon on 17 January 2018 and Kylian Mbappé against Lyon on 7 October 2018. In doing so, Mbappé became the youngest player ever to score a quadruple in a single Ligue 1 match.
6
Neymar Jr was actually directly involved in six goals against Dijon on 17 January 2018 (four goals, two assists), making him the most decisive player in any single match in Europe's top five leagues in 2018.
