For the 1st time in Edinson Cavani´s playing career he has managed to surpass the 30 goals mark scored in a single season for a domestic league competition.

The recently concluded season of 2016-17 has by far been the best season of the Uruguayan attacker who managed to find the back of the net on 35 occasions for PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani insists that the Champions League humbling at the hands of Barcelona was unfair owing to a number of wrong decisions made in the game.

Les Parisiens took a 4-0 first-leg lead against Barcelona in the quarter-final stage of the premier competition, and they appeared to be cruising towards the final four before a referee blunder cost them the tie.

Edison Cavani has been named the Player of the Year in the Ligue 1 following an impressive run.

The National Union of Professional Football Players (UNFP) gave the star player the award. Monaco star KylianMbappe was awarded the best young player of the season for his exploits all year round.

Edinson Cavani has confirmed that he may return to Napoli at the end of his Paris St Germain contract.

The Uruguayan has always been linked with a move from the French club. It has been a consistent theme ever since he came to the club in a £ 60 million deal four years ago. Even though most of the initial transfer rumours were largely down to Cavani failing to secure a favourite central playing position, the Uruguayan has been the club’s first choice striker since Zlatan Ibrahimovic left in the summer. Cavani has not disappointed, as he has managed to score an amazing 33 goals in just 34 league matches.

Edinson Cavani scored the goals that helped Paris St Germain stay in touch with Monaco at the top of the French Ligue 1 table.

It has been a difficult campaign for the French club, as they have been facing several disappointments under the regime of Unai Emery. The former Sevilla manager was brought with the sole objective of helping the club Excel in European competitions. Yet, PSG face to the embarrassment of losing a 4-0 lead from the first leg to Barcelona, as they went out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage is once again.

Paris St Germain striker Edinson Cavani has finally been able to get the recognition he has yearned for since completing his £ 62 million move from Napoli several years ago.

Cavani was one of the top centre forwards in Napoli, but he was clearly not happy with being second best was Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Paris St Germain. After the departure of the Swede in the summer, Cavani has become the undisputed number one. He has clearly relished this role, as the Uruguayan has scored 27 goals in 27 league matches this season. He remains a major factor behind the club remaining in the title race.

Concerns about Paris St Germain’s ability to dominate the French league remained after the club had to rely on two late goals in order to get past lower league Niort in the Coupe de France game.

PSG were coming up against the French Ligue 2 outfit in order to secure a place in the quarter-finals. The club remain on course for a treble after managing to get a 2-0 win. The result could have been very different had it not been for Javier Pastore’s 78th minute goal. This finally broke the deadlock between the two teams and Edinson Cavani was able to make the game safe with an injury time goal.

Former French international David Trezeguet believes that Paris St Germain are being pushed to new heights by none other than Edinson Cavani.

The club managed a 4-0 rout of Barcelona, widely regarded as one of the best teams in the world, in the last 16 of the Champions League. Even though Angel di Maria scored two goals in the game, it was a result largely masterminded by the brilliant centre forward performance of Edinson Cavani. For long, Cavani sat in the shadows of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. There were even rumours about the player considering a move away from the French club as a result of being consistently played out of position despite having cost more than £ 60 million from Napoli.

Inter Milan were once the dominant force in Italian football, winning five Serie A crowns on the bounce under the management of Roberto Mancini and Jose Mourinho. Under the Portuguese they even conquered Europe, clinching the Champions League trophy for the third time in the history of the club.

Since the departure of Mourinho, the Nerazzurri have endured a dramatic decline – coinciding with the rise of Juventus to become the quality outfit of the country. Nine men have taken to the dugout in the San Siro in an attempt to guide the club back to the top, but eight have been cast aside due to their failures.

Edison Cavani has said that Serie A outfit Napoli can defeat Real Madrid when both sides meet in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie next week.

Many have written off Napoli but Cavani opines that they can shock the European champions.
