Edinson Cavani is an odd footballer. His reputation has gone before him, with his name striking fear and respect into the hearts of opponents based on his lethal goalscoring record. However, Cavani is somewhat flawed when it comes to huge games for PSG. In Ligue 1 he bagged 18 goals in 35 games, striking up a formidable partnership with Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front, though that doesn't seem quite so impressive when you consider Max Gradel (now at AFC Bournemouth) managed a total of 17 in the league. Cavani has done well against lower opponents, but on the huge stage of the Champions League, I think he's failed to deliver in a competition that PSG should really be looking to mount a challenge for. A -1 point drop is bold but justified.
