Paris & Katoto, the beautiful story continues
After coming through the youth academy to become the club's leading scorer, Marie-Antoinette Katoto is set to write more chapters in Paris Saint-Germain history. We take a look at some of the first pages she's written in the capital.
Marie-Antoinette Katoto has been impressive ever since she made her debut in 2015, and now aged 23, with 133 goals scored for the Rouge-et-Bleu, she's out on her own as the women's team's all-time leading scorer.
MAK won the 2017 Coupe de France, scoring the only goal of the game against Lyon in Strasbourg. It's a legendary goal, scored by flicking the ball over a defender before applying a left-foot finish to earn the women's team the second trophy of their history.
She was also integral to the 2020/21 title win. Three times the league's leading scorer (22 goals in 2018/19, 16 in 2019/20, and 18 in 2021/22), the forward impressed former teammate Laure Boulleau: "Of course, it's good news for the club [that she's staying]. She's a player who can have a real impact on the team's results thanks to her out-of-this-world talent. It's also symbolic for the club to keep its homegrown players, those from the Paris region and who have come through the youth academy. I have no doubt that she'll improve on her goals record with PSG, and she'll enable the club to win more trophies."
Currently with the France team preparing for the Women's EURO in England, Katoto is gearing up to play in her first major international competition. "This summer, she'll play her first major international compétition, and the path is already laid out for her future. She has to win trophies with the club and the national team, and in my heart of hearts, I'm convinced she'll become the best player in the world."
Katoto has signed on to stay at the club until 2025, and the trio of MAK, Sandy Baltimore and Kadidiatou Diani will continue to wreak havoc on the pitches of D1, much to the club's fans' delight.
