Cavani against ex-club PSG: winner of the match, accusation of racism and scare of PSG in 3 days? – Sports

ManUnited could put PSG in dire straits in the Champions League. Edinson Cavani would especially like to be the spoiler.

Edinson Cavani scored 201 goals in 300 competitive matches for Paris Saint-Germain. Now the Uruguayan, who recently signed for Manchester United, is the center of attention when PSG visits England.

For last year’s finalists: Losing is prohibited. Otherwise, the French would no longer have progress on their own feet in a Leipzig victory against Basaksehir. Out in the group stage? Unthinkable for the million soldiers.

Cavani would love to take care of this misfortune for the “Sheikh Club”. Together with Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, the Uruguayan formed that unstoppable “NMC” tri-ax that has given PSG the championship title every year since 2017/18.

However, other images are sometimes remembered: the silliest probably in September 2017, when Cavani argued with Neymar about the execution of a penalty, and then quickly missed.

“NMC” becomes “NM”

Little by little, the tip of the trident became a more annoying appendage for the “Golden Boys” Neymar and Mbappé. As the Team calculated in fall 2018, the “Uru” was discarded. As the French and the Brazilian passed several passes, Cavani hung in the air. At the end of the 2020 season, his contract was no longer extended.

After 3 months without a club, Manchester United grabbed the scissors. There, the center forward quickly became a noble prankster. As a substitute for Southampton at halftime, he turned a 2-0 into a 3-2 with 2 goals and an assist. So he stands with 3 hits in a full 126 minutes. With the other “Red Devils” center forward Anthony Martial being questionable, Cavani is considered a valid option against PSG.

Alleged racism scandal tarnishes performance

On the field, Cavani made great success at ManUnited. Also, however, not everything is sun. On Instagram he thanked the congratulations with the words “thank you black.” The FA regulations provide for a ban on at least 3 games in such cases. United defended Cavani because the word “negrito” (“black”) was used in a friendly context and had a different meaning in South America.

Cavani can hardly be accused of malicious intent. However, negligence does. Cavani’s compatriot, Luis Suárez, had already said the word ‘Negrito’ as a Liverpool professional to ManUnited defender Patrice Evra and was sanctioned for 8 games.
