Neymar Admits Edinson Cavani 'Tension' Following PSG Penalty Dispute

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has admitted there was "tension" between himself and team-mate Edinson Cavani earlier in the campaign.

During a meeting with Bordeaux in Ligue 1, the duo appeared to disagree over who should take a penalty, sparking speculation about a feud between the two forwards following Neymar's arrival in the summer for a world-record fee.

Speaking about the incident to TV Globo's Atlas Horas (h/t Sport), Neymar said the moment was blown out of proportion, though he did say the pair had a spiky relationship at that juncture.

"It was made to sound bigger than it really was," said the Brazilian.
