Adrien Rabiot (French pronunciation: ​[adʁjɑ̃ ʁabjo]; born 3 April 1995) is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain F.C. as a central midfielder.

He spent most of his career with Paris Saint-Germain FC, making his debut with the first team in 2012 and winning ten major honours, including four consecutive Ligue 1 titles and a treble in 2015–16.

Rabiot is a French youth international, having represented his nation up to under-21 level.

Club career

Rabiot was born in Saint-Maurice, Val-de-Marne, and played youth football for several teams, including two spells at US Créteil-Lusitanos and a few months at Manchester City.[2] On 2 July 2012, after excelling at the Camp des Loges, he signed his first professional contract agreeing to a three-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain FC.[3]

Rabiot was promoted to the senior team by manager Carlo Ancelotti ahead of the 2012–13 season.[4] In the club's pre-season he started in the penalty shootout defeat to FC Barcelona,[5] and, on 26 August, played his first game in Ligue 1, a 0–0 home draw against FC Girondins de Bordeaux.[6]

Rabiot made his UEFA Champions League debut on 6 November 2012, playing injury in a 4–0 group stage home win over GNK Dinamo Zagreb.[7] In January of the following year he was loaned to fellow league side Toulouse FC,[8] scoring his first professional goal on 9 March 2013 which was the game's only at Stade Brestois 29, from 25 yards.[9]

Returned to PSG, Rabiot contributed with 46 games and six goals[10][11] combined as the team won back-to-back domestic leagues from 2013 to 2015, but seemed to be on the verge of leaving the club as his mother Véronique acted as his main advisor during negotiations for a better contract.[12][13] He started the 2015–16 campaign by getting sent off for two yellow cards after only 29 minutes, in the opening match against Lille OSC (eventual away 1–0 win).[14]

Rabiot scored his first goal in European competition on 25 November 2015 to open a 5–0 Champions League group win at Malmö FF,[15] and repeated the feat the following 9 March in a 2–1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, putting PSG into the quarter-finals 4–2 on aggregate.[16] Four days later, he scored in a 9–0 routing at bottom team Troyes AC that sealed the league title with eight games remaining.[17]

On 23 April 2016, Rabiot was sent off in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue, a 2–1 win over Lille OSC.[18]

International career

On 13 August 2013, aged just 18, Rabiot made his first appearance for the French under-21 team, starting in a 0–0 friendly draw with Germany in Freiburg.[19] He was on stand by for the full side's UEFA Euro 2016 squad,[20] but did not make the final cut.

Rabiot made his debut on 15 November 2016 against Ivory Coast, starting and being replaced by Thomas Lemar after 78 minutes of the 0–0 friendly home draw, due to a hamstring injury.[21][22]
