No Champions League for Cavani
In an interview with Movistar programme, his father stated that Edinson Cavani had got a table at his house where he has his barbecues. On that table, he has written 'Paris-Saint Germain, European Champions 2019.’ Luis Cavani said that he nearly laughed his head off reading that and he also wrote 'Ha ha ha' underneath it, intending to mock his son Edinson Cavani of not winning the Champions League in 2019 with PSG.

Cavani’s father stated that he doesn’t think that the PSG footballer read his reply and but he is sure that Cavani is going to rub that off soon. Luis feels that his son needs to be more realistic with his goals. He added that Edison always calls him a cynical person because Luis told him that he would never win a Champions League trophy. Luis stated that he had told Edison that he can win every single trophy in France but not the Champions League. Also, he added that in football you don’t win everything by just spending a lot of money, mocking Edinson Cavani’s club Paris Saint Germain.
Since joining PSG in 2013/2014, Edinson Cavani has won five Ligue 1 titles, four Coupes de France, seven Trophee des Champions and five Coupes de la Ligue titles. However, as his father. Luis pointed out that he has never won the Champions League with the French club even though they have made an enormous investment in winning it.
