Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani says Paris Saint-Germain's team of dazzling individuals including Neymar and Kylian Mbappe need to work more as a team if they are to win the Champions League.
In an exclusive interview with AFP, Cavani said the importance of winning the Champions League for the French club was drummed into him even before he signed from Napoli in 2013.
"It's an objective that the club discussed with me before I signed the contract," said ahead of Tuesday's Champions League Group C clash in Naples.
"It is in my head. It flows through my veins. I want to win it because that is the job that was presented to me when I came (to PSG)."
"He wants everyone to play together and that is what is important for me."

"That does not mean I don't get on with Neymar or Mbappe. I hope that work with the new coach can give the perfect structure to produce a big season -- all together."
But before facing his former club, Cavani said: "It will be good match to show that we have moved up to a higher level, and that we are able to deal with this kind of pressure -- because if we lose, that will make it tough for us to get out of the group stage."
