JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain sealed the Group A qualifying match for the Champions League with a 5-0 victory over Galatasaray at the Parc des Princes, Wednesday, December 11 evening. In this match, Brazilian star Neymar gave Edinson Cavani a penalty.

Neymar became a star in this match with two assists and one goal. The former Barcelona player could have scored a brace after Kylian Mbappe - who scored PSG's fourth goal - was brought down by Ryan Donk in the area.

However, Neymar instead gave Cavani the ball to score his first PSG goal since August. Cavani made no mistake in beating compatriot from Uruguay Fernando Muslera who went in the wrong direction.

It is common knowledge that when Neymar arrived in Paris from the Catalan in 2017, he and Cavani fought over a penalty in the match against Lyon. However, the team-mates certainly proved the feud was far behind them.

"It's a good gesture," Thomas Tuchel responded to Neymar's willingness to give Cavani a penalty at a press conference. "Everyone can see, Ney is very sensitive. He gives the ball to Edi and it is a good symbol for the team."

"Neymar has been very important and very good at Montpellier [won 3-1 on Saturday]. He was decisive for us and he is getting better. He worked hard today, won a lot of balls and played well. He found his form. It was easier for him. now, "continued the racik interpreter.

Cavani's fate at PSG

Since Mauro Icardi's arrival from Inter Milan on loan, Cavani has spent more time on the bench. Moreover, previously, this Uruguayan player also suffered from injuries.

Cavani has only appeared as a starter five times in various competitions with PSG this season. He also contributed only 2 goals in 8 appearances in Ligue 1.

The saddest thing is that the former Napoli and Palermo player's contract with PSG will end at the end of the 2019-2020 season. So far, there is no sign that the player's contract will be extended.

"Cavani didn't have enough playing time and it was my fault and injury. It was important for him to score," said Tuchel after Cavani scored against Glatasaray.

"This is the best way to gain confidence and I am very happy for him," he concluded.

PSG finish top of Group A with 16 points, five more than second-placed Real Madrid, who they crushed 3-0 on the first matchday.
