Edinson Cavani scored his 200th goal on Sunday night in the jersey of Paris SG, at the Parc des Princes against Bordeaux in Ligue 1, to become the first Parisian to reach this legendary bar.
First tenure at the Park in the championship since August
The top scorer in club history, who is gradually finding playing time after having been announced for a long time this winter and having spent the first part of the season on the bench or injured, took advantage of his first tenure at Park in the championship since August to shine. With a raging head on a center from Angel Di Maria, the "Matador" came to equalize in the 25th minute, just after the opening of the Bordeaux score. To the delight of the Parc des Princes, in fusion with its idol.
Far ahead of his runner-up, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his 156 goals
The Uruguayan is alone in the world at the top of the club's goal scorers ranking: he now sits far ahead of his former teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic (156) and is not far from having 100 more achievements than the third in the ranking , Pauleta (109). This milestone is crossed by the Parisian idol at the best time: Cavani, 33, is indeed beginning to overturn the hierarchy on his side, at the expense of Mauro Icardi, who arrived in Paris at the end of the summer transfer window. He has just had two consecutive tenure in the league, even if he had no playing time Tuesday during the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League in Dortmund (2-1 defeat).
Cavani, at the end of the contract in June, was long quoted on the side of Atlético Madrid during the month of January, but the two clubs could not agree and the Parisian sports director Leonardo closed the door to a departure on the last day of the transfer window.
