The trio have combined to help Unai Emery’s side net 58 goals in all competitions, with PSG breaking a number of Champions League goalscoring records in qualifying for the knockout stages after just four matches.

“I have been able to show him that football is a tactical game, and that will help transform him into a more complete player as he continues with his career,” Cavani said.
