With his two goals scored against Villarreal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has risen to the height of legend Didier Drogba.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is currently playing his first season at OM. The campaign in question is not yet over but he has already made club history. Thursday evening, he became Marseille’s top scorer in a continental season.
During this match, the Gabonese planted his 10 and 11e goals of the season in Europe. No one in the history of the club had done better until then. And the only one to have done so well is the legend Didier Drogba during the famous 2003/2004 season. Third in this ranking is Arkadiusz Milik (8 goals in 2021/2022).
Aubameyang panics the counters
During this match, won by OM with a large score of 4 to 0, Aubameyang also consolidated his place as the top scorer in the history of the C3 (excluding the qualifying round). He is now at 33 pawns. Two more than his direct pursuer, the Swede Henrik Larsson.
The former Stéphanois can also set the record for goals in a season in this competition. It is held by Radamel Falcao (17 goals). He has 8 goals left to score. Finally, let us note that Aubameyang has already surpassed Alexis Sanchez in the number of achievements under the Marseille tunic. He has 3 units more than the Chilean (21 against 18).
With the humility that characterizes him, “Aubame” did not try to put himself forward at the final whistle. Instead, he highlighted the excellent collective work that was done. “We are happy with the match as a whole. There is seriousness and concentration. Since the start of the season, it hasn’t been easy, but we stick together and continue to move forward together.” he confided on Canal+.
