PSG fans had it their way, and Edinson Cavani made history in front of them.
The Uruguayan striker became the club's all-time top scorer with an early goal against Montpellier. Cavani tapped in a cross by Adrien Rabiot to kick off his celebrations. Cavani decided to give away his historical jersey to the crowd, which reacted with a loud cheer and praise for the Uruguayan.
Cavani leapfrogged Zlatan Ibrahimovic's tally of 156 goals with Les Parisiens. He needed 49 more games than the Swede to achieve the milestone.
