Tensions between the duo had already surfaced earlier in the game when Dani Alves took the ball out of Cavani's hands and gave it to Neymar to take a free-kick on the edge of the area.

Cavani went back to the dressing room straight after the final whistle while his teammates celebrated on the pitch. 

Neymar and Cavani have been ordered by boss Unai Emery to overcome their differences after the forwards twice fought over the right to take set-pieces. 

"I have told them to sort it out between themselves," said Emery, "The penalties are to be struck by a few players, one is Cavani and the other is Neymar."

"It takes a gentleman's agreement on the pitch to take the penalties. Afterwards, we will arrange internally for the penalties, because I think both are able to score them, and I want the two to alternate in this exercise," he added.

"If there is no agreement, I will decide. I do not want it to be a problem for us."

PSG now leads defending champion Monaco by three points.
