Attackers Edison Cavani and Neymar twice had a falling out over who would be in charge of set-piece duties in PSG’s 2 – 0 home win over league rivals Lyon.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery acknowledged the growing tension between Neymar and Edinson Cavani, and was quoted saying that:

“I have told them to sort it out between themselves,  I think that they are capable of doing that and that they will both be our kickers.”

“If they cannot reach an agreement, I will decide for them. I do not want this to become a problem for us.”

Even when PSG faced Celtic in Champions League, Cavani was the man who took the penalty and eventually converted it into a goal for his team.

However, at the moment, Paris based club Paris Saint- Germain sits at the top of the table after continuing their 6 match consecutive win record.
