Marseille mock PSG after the Neymar-Cavani fiasco

But Ligue 1 leaders fire back

Posted Saturday, September 23, 2017 by Marca.com

Neymar and Edinson Cavani's argument over a penalty in PSG's game against Lyon last weekend continues to be the topic of the day Marseille have mocked the capital city club on social media.

They added fuel to the flames after the southern club uploaded a photo to their Twitter profile, showing two of their players hugging one another.

Both players have an alleged conversation in which one tells the other to take the penalty but his teammate urges the other take it.

Clash at OM... 🔥

However, PSG did not stay silent and quickly responded to the tweet, posting a photo of Yuri Berchiche and Marquinhos hugging in which one asks if he has seen any of the Marseille players in the area this season.

- You've already seen one of their player in the box this season ?
- Never. And they hope to get a penalty kick 😂 pic.twitter.com/qHvQQUFZwp

"Never, and they hope to get a penalty kick," comes the reply.

This exchange between two of France's biggest clubs occurred on the same day PSG announced Neymar would miss out this weekend's fixture against Montpellier.
