Cavani: Neymar and I are 'friends, brothers, team-mates'

Edinson Cavani has rejected the notion of a strained relationship between he and Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Neymar after the pair clashed in a friendly on Friday.


The Uruguay striker was booked following a clumsy tackle on the Brazil captain during last week's meeting at Emirates Stadium, leading to an exchange of opinions between the two forwards.

"The things that happen on the field is football, but after that we are friends, brothers, team-mates," Cavani told RMC Sport.

"But during the match you want to win, that's normal and you defend your team.

"I did not do anything, I did not touch him, I went to see him and told him that I had not touched him, only that, but I did with him as I would have done with another.


"There's no need to talk about it, there's nothing, it's the media talking about it."
