And while Richarlison says Cavani could have broken his ankle, he believes the tackle was unintentional.

"I think it was a ball dispute, he went over the top," Richarlison said after the game.

"If my foot was stuck it might have even broken my ankle, but I think it wasn't bad.

"He tried to steal the ball and ended up missing."
