Edinson Cavani is the joint second-highest scorer in Champions League

If there is one side in the competition that has displayed a look of the champions in the group stages, it is Paris Saint Germain. And one of the mainstays of this Paris side which topped the group at the expense of Bayern Munich is Edinson Cavani. With 6 goals and 1 assist to his name in six matches, the Uruguayan striker is in the running to be the top goalscorer in Europe this season.

Cavani has a knack of scoring in the big games for PSG. Be it his goal against FC Barcelona last time around or his one goal and one assist against Bayern Munich in two outings this season, Cavani has effectively shared the workload with Neymar.

Paris Saint Germain are expected to beat their opponents in Europe by simply outscoring them, such is the might of their front line and one can be sure that Cavani will be among the goals in the knockout stages.
