Born in the same Uruguayan city of Salto just one month
apart, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani have gone on to become two of the world’s
leading strikers and will go up against each other when Paris Saint-Germain
face Barcelona on Tuesday. When asked about his relationship with Suarez ahead
of the game on Monday, PSG hotshot Cavani described the Barcelona man as his
friend but insisted the two are very different attackers.
“Luis is very physical, he uses his body a lot. I am
different, I don’t move as much as him,” said Cavani, who will celebrate his
30th birthday on the day of the UEFA Champions League last 16, first leg at the
Parc des Princes.
