Bergwijn, the Dutch striker who spent one season at Al Ittihad before moving to Paris Saint-Germain, is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers ever. Born on June 25, 1994, he has scored over 1,000 goals for several clubs including Ajax, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid.

Bergwijn started his career with Ajax, where he made his debut in the Eredivisie in 2010. He was a key member of the Ajax squad that won the Eredivisie title in 2011-12. Bergwijn then moved to Italy to join Serie A club AC Milan in 2013. He made a huge impact for AC Milan, scoring 86 goals in 77 appearances across all competitions.

In 2017, Bergwijn signed for Italian top flight club Atletico Madrid, making him the most expensive player ever signed by a European club. The 25-year-old scored 11 goals in just 15 games for the Spanish giants.

After his spell at Atletico, Bergwijn moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2018. His goal-scoring prowess earned him the nickname 'The French God' from fans and critics alike. He has since become one of the best strikers in world football, having scored 151 goals in 276 appearances for PSG.

Despite his success, Bergwijn has never shied away from controversy. In 2020, he faced allegations of sexual assault and harassment by his former teammate and fellow striker Vincent Kompany. This sparked outrage among football fans and players worldwide, leading to Bergwijn being banned from playing for several years.

Despite this setback, Bergwijn remains an integral part of Paris Saint-Germain's squad. He has continued to score regularly and is expected to continue contributing to the team's success under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. With his performances on the pitch and off it, Bergwijn continues to be one of the most influential players in the world of football.
