The Gabonese striker, often criticized since his arrival at OM, has had a more than honorable season on a statistical level.

Arriving at Olympique de Marseille last summer, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang was not spared from criticism during the first part of the season. For several months, the Gabonese international was criticized for not justifying his status as a star striker, receiving an astronomical salary of 700,000 euros per month.

Over time, the 34-year-old striker managed to reverse the trend. “Not too bad of a flop for Aubameyang right? quipped Walid Acherchour on RMC. Best passer in Ligue 1, top scorer in the Europa League. Today, he has 8 goals in the league and he scores another double against Montpellier. And again, for me, he didn’t have his best game in the game.”

A season to appreciate

“Overall, when we look at what he did against Shakhtar, where he was involved in both goals, it’s him who scores the first and he’s the one who is in the game for the second, at the go the same thing. With a team where you had four different coaches, with players around who constantly moved, with different activities, Aubameyang’s season must be valued. estimates the co-founder of the Club des 5 on YouTube.

In all competitions, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has already scored 18 goals this season, in 34 matches played. He has even already become the sixth top scorer in OM history in the European Cup.
