Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is showing impressive form for Marseille.

On the morning of February 16, Marseille had a trip to Shakhtar Donetsk’s stadium in the play-off round to compete for tickets to the round of 16 of the Europa League.

The two teams played an attractive tιt-for-tat game. However, the goal only came in the second half.

There, Aubameyang scored the opening goal for the away team in the 64th minute. This goal helped the former Arsenal striker enter Europa League history.

Aubameyang scored 30 goals in the Europa League, matching Radamel Falcao’s achievement in the second tier of European club football.

It is likely that Aubameyang will monopolize the scoring record in the European Second Division, in the context that Falcao currently plays for Rayo Vallecano, a team that does not have much hope of participating in the European Cup next season.

In the summer of 2023, Aubameyang joined Marseille on a free transfer after terminating his contract with Chelsea. In the 2022/2023 season, Aubameyang plays erratically. Going to France is an opportunity for Aubameyang to restart his career when he accepts to refuse a generous salary in Saudi Arabia.

And in fact, he is also flying high with Marseille. He reached 6 goals and had 7 more assists in Ligue 1.

Returning to the match, the 3-3 draw result accurately reflected what happened on the field.

There was some regret for Marseille when they took the lead twice but could not maintain their lead.
