Michael Owen’s assessment of Edinson Cavani has come back to haunt him

Michael Owen, somewhat unfairly at times, gets a bit of stick for his punditry work.

From completely made up quotes attributed to him doing the rounds on Twitter, to people complaining that his observations are 'boring' and 'obvious'. The man can't win. But ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's game to the Camp Nou on Wednesday night, Owen really didn't help himself. Looking ahead to the game with his BT Sport colleagues, Owen ran the rule over PSG's Edinson Cavani - a man that had scored 36 goals prior to kick off. Despite acknowledging his talent, Owen also described the Uruguayan as an "average" finisher, much to the amusement of plenty of those watching. https://twitter.com/billytheyido/status/839560015216263169 https://twitter.com/OFFLEWITT/status/839559932181680140 https://twitter.com/schofey27/status/839559698487599105 https://twitter.com/connormanson2/status/839558022129192960 https://twitter.com/Parkwaydean/status/839557393503686669 https://twitter.com/ad_weston/status/839557286251147265 https://twitter.com/BenMWard/status/839557188288925696 So, having watched Barcelona bring the aggregate score back to 4-3, can you guess who managed to come up with PSG's tie-ending away goal? https://twitter.com/FifaSoccerTeam/status/839587905270083587 That's right... Edison Cavani, with not such an average strike. But don't worry, Mike. It's not like anyone remembered what you'd said... https://twitter.com/DaneHarv/status/839584297526915081 https://twitter.com/carlmaddison_/status/839584434122813440   https://twitter.com/philblanche/status/839584972801454080
