Red Star Belgrade v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Group C
The 32-year-old is one of the most feared strikers in the world and has been on fabulous form for PSG in recent years. Cavani has been crippled with injuries this season and has been forced to watch from the sidelines on more occasions that he would have like. Yet when he has been on the field, he has been extraordinary.

The Uruguayan is a center forward who is very strong and has the ability to hold the ball to bring his team mates into play. Cavani is very strong in the air and his passing ability is also quite good. However, if there's one thing that the Uruguayan is famous for, it's his finishing.
Cavani has already scored 17 goals from 16 games in Ligue 1 and has 22 goals from 27 games in all competitions this season. He has also registered 5 assists so far in the league and even though Cavani is currently sidelined with a muscle injury, he is still the 5th best South American footballer around right now.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
