Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani once played together at Paris Saint-Germain. The relationship between the two alpha animals was obviously not characterized by harmony.
Between 2013 and 2016, Ibrahimovic and Cavani played together for PSG. The two center forwards were never considered friends. As Michael Ciani now reveals, Ibrahimovic was not at all on good terms with the Uruguayan.
“The only person he didn’t get along with was Cavani,” Michael Ciani, Ibrahimovic’s ex-teammate, told RMC, according to The Sun. “He told me he’s only hated three or four people in his career… and one of them was Cavani.”
Central defender Ciani played with Ibrahimovic at the Los Angeles Galaxy from March 2018 to January 2019. At that time he realized: “Either you are for Ibra, or you are against him.”

PSG: Only Kylian Mbappe better than Ibrahimovic and Cavani
Ibrahimovic played for Paris Saint-Germain from 2012 to 2016, scoring 156 goals and providing 61 assists in 180 games. Cavani has scored 200 goals for PSG but needed 301 competitive games between 2013 and 2020.
With their odds, both end up among the top 3 record scorers for the French. Ibrahimovic is third, Cavani second. Kylian Mbappe recently overtook the Uruguay international striker, scoring his 202nd goal for the capital club.
Top 5 record scorers PSG:
- Kylian Mbappe – 202 Tore
- Edinson Cavani – 200 Tore
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic – 156 Tore
- Neymar – 118 Tore
- Pauleta – 109 Tore
