An unforgettable evening at the Vélodrome.
This Tuesday evening, OM thrilled its supporters with an exceptional victory against Ajax Amsterdam in the Champions League (4-0), their fifth largest in the competition.
A success that was shaped in twelve minutes thanks to Igor Paixao's quick double. The Brazilian striker became the fastest player to score a double for OM in the Champions League. He thus dethroned André-Pierre Gignac and his double in 21 minutes against Zilina in 2011.
Moreover, Marseille hadn't led 3-0 so quickly at home in the Champions League since 1992 against Bruges according to StatsduFoot. Back then, the Olympians also scored three times after 26 minutes of play.
