Cavani's Reaction To Neymar Penalty

Cavani's Reaction To Neymar Penalty

Unlike in previous weeks, there was no penalty-taking drama when Paris Saint-Germain destroyed Bordeaux 6-2 on Saturday, but did you see Edinson Cavani's reaction to Neymar's successful spot-kick?

The pair have hogged the headlines for all the wrong reasons after it the Uruguayan famously refused to allow Neymar to take not one, but two penalties previously.

True to form, the media blew up the rift by declaring the attacking duo's relationship a strained one, but when PSG were awarded another penalty on the weekend, there was no evidence of any "beef" between the two parties, even with Les Parisiens fans chanting for Cavani to take it.

Check out Neymar's spot-kick and Cavani's reaction!

Neymar's goal from the spot was his second converted effort in the game, having already scored an incredible free-kick from 35 yards out earlier, and after the ball struck the back of the net, Cavani and Neymar ran to towards each other and locked arms in a warm embrace.

Right back Thomas Meunier, who also got his name on the scoresheet in the fixture, admitted to the reporters afterwards that it was agreed the 25-year-old would be the one to stand on the spot.

"It was arranged with the coach before today. If there had been another penalty, it would have been for Edi (Cavani)."

Do you think the rift between Cavani and Neymar was all just media talk?
