‘I came back to relive these moments’ – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang following Marseille victory over PSG

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (36) was overjoyed following Olympique de Marseille’s 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Vélodrome on Monday night – a result that marked the club’s first Clasico victory since February 2020, and a first Vélodrome win in Ligue 1 since 2011.The Gabon international returned to Marseille this summer and was present in the mixed zone attended by Get French Football News. “I’m super happy, I think I’ve even become a Marseille supporter. I’m really happy, especially because of the manner. It was a big match tonight. I’m happy for the team and above all for the Marseille people – they deserved this. Honestly, nobody can rival the Vélodrome for atmosphere. I had doubts with Dortmund, but Marseille has definitely taken the upper hand. I came back to relive these moments.”Aubameyang admitted frustration at not taking his late chance to score, but his disappointment was quickly put aside by the significance of the victory. The veteran striker highlighted the importance of building on this result with Friday’s trip to Strasbourg. “If we want to be a big team, as everyone expects, we have to back this up. We’ve already lost twice in five Ligue 1 games, so we need to make up ground.”For Aubameyang, the Clasico win was not just a statement but a starting point. “We’ve only just had our first key moment together as a squad. Tonight was important to reinforce the group. Things are going to change – and it started this evening.”GFFN | George Boxall – reporting from Stade Vélodrome, Marseille.
