Cavani overtakes Ibrahimovic as PSG´s record scorer

Edinson Cavani has become Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time top scorer after netting his 157th goal for the club in Saturday s clash with Montpellier.

The Uruguayan, who joined from Napoli in 2013, overtakes Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the club’s leading marksman.

Cavani drew level with the Manchester United man with a header against Dijon in an 8-0 rout on January 17.

His goal in the 12th minute against Montpellier took him to 21 for the season in Ligue 1, Cavani tapping home from inside the six-yard box after Adrien Rabiot s cut-back.

The Uruguayan celebrated by throwing his shirt into the crowd at Parc des Princes, earning a rueful booking from referee Frank Schneider.

Cavani’s favourite opponent has been Saint-Etienne, who he has scored 11 goals against, with his most prolific season coming in the 2016-17 campaign, in which he scored an incredible 49 goals in 50 games.
