Author of the goal of hope on Thursday on the Benfica pitch, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang further improved his statistics.
Olympique de Marseille can believe it. Trailing by two goals an hour into the game, the Marseillais have in fact reduced the gap and their chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals have inevitably increased despite the 2-1 defeat in Lisbon.
OM can therefore thank Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who consolidated his status as top scorer in the Europa League by winning his duel against the Lisbon goalkeeper.
Thanks to this goal, the Gabonese has ten goals on the clock this season in the Europa League. Unheard of for a player playing in a French club in C3. With now 12 goals this season on the European scene, the former Stéphanois is doing even better than Didier Drogba, author of 11 goals with OM during the 2003/04 season.
And with 56 goals in European Cups, he is only one unit away from the record of Mohamed Salah, the most prolific African striker in history on the European scene.
