With 4 goals and 3 assists since the start of the 2025/2026 season, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has firmly established himself as one of the standout figures at Olympique de Marseille.On Wednesday night, the Gabonese striker was the man of the match against Ajax Amsterdam at the Vélodrome (4-0). Scoring once and providing two assists, he led OM to a resounding Champions League victory.

A triumphant return to Marseille

After returning this summer from Al Qadsiah (Saudi Arabia), just a year after his departure, Aubameyang wasn’t met with unanimous approval. But the veteran forward answered his critics in the best possible way, silencing doubters with his top-class performances.
