Bradley Barcola

Bradley Barcola is a French winger for Paris Saint-Germain and the France national team, valued for his acceleration and directness in the final third.

Born on 2 September 2002 in Villeurbanne, near Lyon, to a French mother and Togolese father, he joined Lyon's academy at the age of eight and made his professional debut for his boyhood club in November 2021. He broke through in the 2022-23 season, finishing behind only Alexandre Lacazette among Lyon's goal contributors, before Paris Saint-Germain signed him in August 2023 for a reported €45 million. He has since won a string of domestic and European honours with PSG, including the Champions League, Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France.

At the 2026 World Cup, Barcola scored in France's 3-0 round-of-32 win over Sweden, on a night when Kylian Mbappe also added a brace to move level at the top of the scoring charts. His pace off the flank gives Didier Deschamps another attacking outlet alongside Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele.
