Paris SG celebrated its 50th anniversary on August 12. An anniversary that the Parisian club celebrated in particular with a montage bringing together fourteen great players who have passed through the Parc des Princes in five decades. We found Rai, Ginola, Susic, Weah, Bianchi, Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Neymar or even Mbappé but also older legends like Jean Djorkaeff or Mustapha Dahleb. However, one absence had questioned: that of Edinson Cavani.
The Uruguayan, the club's top scorer (200 goals), and emblematic player of PSG Qatari version, has let it be known that he regrets this sidelining even if he prefers to keep fond memories of these seven seasons at the club ( 2013-2020). “It was a very good stage, seven incredible years. It is normal for some to be disturbed by the photo, but this is where you realize how they deal with it. It’s part of life. It's shocking, but these are things that happen ... "said the international, whose comments were relayed by the Spanish daily sport.

On social media, many supporters were surprised not to see their club's top scorer in the midst of this brilliant selection of players, just weeks after his eventful departure. Edinson Cavani had refused to extend his contract with the French champions for two months, as Thiago Silva did, for example, in order to be able to play in the Champions League (his contract ended on June 30, editor's note). PSG had not commented on the choice of its South American striker (who appears briefly in the fiftieth anniversary video) but in the ranks of the management, this decision had been the source of tension.
