On May 11, Adrien Rabiot was not appointed in the UNFP trophy race for the best player of the season. A big disappointment for the tricolor international as well as for his coach, Roberto de Zerbi, who had not hidden his annoyance. Ten days later, Adrien Rabiot still received a reward since the readers of the Phocaean elected him Phocaéen d'or 2025.

An honorary title that has not displeased the former Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus. He even estimated that it was deserved. “We could have awarded it to other players who had a very big season, in Mason (Greenwood) or (Geronimo) Rulli. After that is everyone's opinion but given my season, I think it deserves it. »»

At least a real franchise in the words of the Marseille midfielder who developed his opinion on his own performances throughout the season. “I tried to give the maximum, to be regular. I have not missed a match since I arrived, I try to be available and to help my teammates on and off the field. »»

A “fair” award, according to Rabiot

Adrien Rabiot also explained that he had done his best to “Bring what (him) had asked: (his) experience”. And conclude: “And for all this, I think it's right. »» The one who has just been called with the Blues for the June Rally, with in particular a semi-final of the League of Nations against Spain (June 5), therefore has every reason to be satisfied with this distinction.

It remains to be seen what will be his decision for the continuation (or not) of his Marseille adventure. The qualification obtained for the next Champions League should quite easily convince him to remain an additional season. The love he receives from OM supporters too.
