Cavani has an incredible goal-scoring record this season

When Zlatan Ibrahimovic left PSG in the summer, it was expected that Edinson Cavani would have to step out of the shadow of the big Swede and take his chance as the main striker for the Paris club, and this season he has really come out and been in the form of his life.

At the time of writing, El Matador is 13 goals away from breaking the record for most goals scored in a single season for PSG, set ironically by Ibrahimovic, and has pretty much got the Ligue 1 golden boot wrapped up.

Despite his amazing goal record, there remains one criticism that Cavani needs about 4-5 chances to score a goal, and even though he has scored an incredible amount of goals this season, Cavani always leaves one with the feeling he could have had more in a game.

That being said, in a difficult season for the Ligue 1 champions, Cavani has been on top of his game and his goals have been a huge reason for them remaining in the title race in France. His 38 goals is one of the best records in Europe at the time of writing, and has shown that without the influence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cavani can be the main striker for a big club.
