WATCH: What Happened When Neymar Asked Edinson Cavani To Take The Penalty

Paris Saint-Germain maintained their 100% league start after recording their fourth straight win, beating Saint-Etienne 3-0. Though Neymar didn't get on the score sheet with the Brazilian missing out on a chance to convert a penalty.

Neymar played in a delightful through ball to Edinson Cavani who latched onto the ball before being taken down, winning his side a spot-kick.

The Uruguayan picked himself up and grabbed the ball. Though as he walked to the spot to mark out his run, Neymar approached him.

It appears he asked Cavani if he could take the penalty. But the striker refused and took it himself, burying the ball into the bottom corner.

The 25-year-old left Lionel Messi's shadow at Barcelona, with the Argentine extremely selfless during his stint at the Camp Nou.

Messi has let Neymar take penalties with Barcelona fans pointing that out on social media. Here are some of the reactions to the Neymar snub:

Here's what it's like in Messi's shadow:

Cavani is no Messi in more ways than one.
