The PSG victory on Saturday evening against Reims in the French Cup final (3-0) validated the fact that the next Champions Trophy would be a classic between Paris and OM. The two clubs also fired for another trophy, that of the player of the month. This season, PSG and Marseille have arrived at equality on this side, the “fault” notably in Mason Greenwood.
The Marseille Olympic striker was elected player of April to the UNFP trophies. Enough to bring his team up to PSG with three winners on each side. Bradley Barcola (September), Ousmae Dembélé (January) and Désiré Doué (March) were elected during the season for Paris. Mason Greenwood (December and April) and Amine Gouiri (February) did as well for OM.
Strangely absent (like his teammate Adrien Rabiot) of the Player's UNFP Trophy of the season, Mason Greenwood was therefore acclaimed by the voters for this title of best player in April. With 42%of the vote, he finished very largely ahead of Rayan Cherki (34%) and Emanuel Emegha (24%).
Greenwood, an offensive asset for OM
A great reward for the English striker who scored three goals and offered a decisive pass during the four games played during the month of April with his team. Throughout the season, the former Manchester United has scored as many goals as Ooumane Dembélé (21), but by scoring more penalties than the Parisian. His offensive presence despite some serious blows less well during the season, still weighed heavily in the good Marseille results.
It remains to be seen if Mason Greenwood will continue his Marseille career next season. If he said his desire to stay, its President Pablo Longoria also suggested several months ago that even if Marseille had left for a three -year cycle, the door remained open for sales in the event of a sounding and stumbling offer. Bought 26 million euros from United last summer, Greenwood is now worth 35 million euros according to the specialized TransferMarkt site.
