Paris Saint-Germain star David Luiz's 'joker' status in the dressing room at Chelsea was well documented, and he teamed up with Ezequiel Lavezzi to play a prank on birthday boy Zoumana Camara.

The £50million centre back was part of a duo who conspired to dunk the 36-year-old's face into his cake on his special day as PSG prepare for their Ligue 1 trip to face Marseille on Sunday.

Camara, a fringe member of the squad this season, had an unexpected dip into his cake that left him with a faceful of it.

The Frenchman posted on Instagram saying: 'Thank you all for your messages very happy to share my birthday with you.'

But Luiz posted an 'after' shot following the dunking, with the message: 'Happy Bday to my happy friend @z.camara ! What a person! Love u my man! All the best! #Felizaniversariomano'

The French champions are still in with a shout of an unprecedented treble, sitting top of Ligue 1 with eight games to go, in the semi-finals of the French Cup and having reached the last eight of the Champions League.

But their abilities are certain to be tested on Sunday night in a first vs third clash against Marseille at a packed 67,394-capacity Stade Velodrome.

A difficult April schedule makes it important that PSG stay top of the table in Marseille, having struggled to maintain a title challenge for much of the season.

And while Camara is unlikely to feature, both Luiz and Lavezzi could have key roles in the biggest game of the French season so far.
