The relationship between Cavani and Neymar has been greatly affected after the Uruguayan striker, whose seniority with the Parisians should give him priority, refused to let the £198m man take a spot kick.
And Cavani should be PSG's penalty taker not just because he has been in Paris longer, but because the facts show he is better than his Brazilian counterpart.
Since arriving in Europe, Neymar has taken 18 penalties, scoring 12. A 67 per cent success rate from the spot, not a bad figure, but one that is lessened by Cavani's effectiveness.
Edinson has taken 52 penalties since his days at Palermo a lifetime ago, and he has only failed to score 11. A success rate of 79 per cent. Impressive, but it only gets better at PSG, 17 scored and only 3 missed, giving him an 85 per cent success rate.
In other words, Cavani is backed by his seniority and effectiveness, even though he did miss the penalty of discord...
