Cavani sets benchmark for PSG

Edinson Cavani broke Zlatan Ibrahimovic's all-time goalscoring record for Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday, while Neymar scored twice in a 4-0 win over Montpellier.

The Uruguay striker tapped in his 157th PSG goal in the 11th minute at the Parc des Princes to spark celebrations, having levelled the Swede's previous mark 10 days ago.

"It's something magnificent, I'm very emotional," Cavani told Canal+. "In life, you're not always given so much warmth. I'm very content, very happy to be here."

"I think it was an individual statistic that all of the fans and all of us wanted for him," coach Unai Emery said of Cavani's mark. "This is an important moment in the history of PSG, but as he said -- we want more."
