While the majority of PSG's squad enjoyed mocking Erling Haaland's celebration on Wednesday, striker Edinson Cavani was nowhere to be seen.
Neymar mimicked the Norwegian boy-wonder's trademark celebration after opening the scoring in the 2-0 Champions League round of 16 second leg victory over Borussia Dortmund at an empty Parc des Princes.

If that wasn't enough, there was a post-match squad picture doing the Haaland pose before Kylian Mbappe posted a video of he and other teammates continuing the mimicking in the dressing room.
But in both instances, Cavani was not present.

I can only assume that the PSG players were mocking Haaland after going through his Twitter likes from a while back... https://t.co/pOWrHF8Q7V
According to Ovacion, the former Napoli striker questioned Neymar's decision to celebrate in that way and he also outright refused to join in any of the dressing room shenanigans - as can be seen in the above video posted by Mbappe.
After the game, Neymar posted a picture of him doing imitating Haaland with the caption, "Paris is our city, not yours,".
The Brazilian was responded to a Haaland Snapchat post that turned out to be fake and not something sent by the player.
Haaland's 'Zen' celebration has become a huge hit and the former Red Bull Salzburg man recently explained just why he celebrates his goals in such a manner.
"I really enjoy meditation," Haaland told Esporte Interativo in a recent interview.
"It makes feel calm and gives me tranquillity. This is why I sometimes celebrate like that when I score."
