Neymar and Edinson Cavani clashed during Brazil’s 1-0 win over Uruguay at the Emirates on Friday evening.
The Uruguayan striker clattered his fellow Paris Saint-Germain teammate in the 85th minute as tempers flared late on.
Neymar netted the only goal of the game from the penalty spot to claim Seleção the win.

Following Neymar’s world record arrival at the Parc des Princes, he has failed to see eye-to-eye with Cavani.
The pair have collided on the pitch before – most notably when arguing over the taker a spot-kick versus Lyon last season.
Cavani and his side were clearly frustrated by the scoreline given the striker’s crunching challenge.
The 31-year-old was shown a yellow card and appeared to be furious with the decision.
After being carded he helped Neymar to his feet before giving him a menacing stare.

Cavani has been nibbling at Neymar for the last few minutes, now booked for going through him. No love lost there.

I think it’s pretty evident that Cavani and Neymar are NOT cool with one another, despite being teammates at PSG.
