After almost five-and-a-half seasons at PSG, Cavani is expected to wave goodbye to the club in January, with Atlético Madrid widely tipped to sign the out-of-favour forward.
Enjoyable occasions have been few and far between this season for out-of-favour PSG striker Edinson Cavani, who has struggled for prominence since the arrival of Inter loanee Mauro Icardi in the summer.
But on Wednesday night the player enjoyed a special moment against Galatasaray, when, having come on in the second half for a 20-minute cameo, he was handed the ball by Neymar to take a penalty in the 84th minute.
The Uruguayan striker tucked the ball into the net to put PSG 5-0 up, prompting the home fans to cheer emphatically in a great show of appreciation for the beloved striker and long-time servant at Parc des Princes.
Clearly moved by Neymar's gesture and the fan reaction, Cavani took to Twitter on Thursday to recall the previous night’s events in a post that seems to bear the hallmarks of a farewell message.
“Unforgettable to see and feel what happened yesterday at the [Parc des Princes]. I will forever carry it with me,” tweeted the 32-year-old striker.
