It’s “his” competition.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a double this Thursday evening in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League, bringing his total in the competition to 32 then 33 goals (9 in total this season).
A record for the OM striker, if we exclude the preliminary rounds of this “small” European Cup.
Above all, the Gabonese international brought the Stade Vélodrome to its feet with his second goal of the evening.
Launched by Amine Harit on the left side of the area in the second period, he deliciously stole his ball to lob the Spanish goalkeeper Pepe Reina (59th).
A gesture made on purpose?
The question arises but Aubameyang's attitude seems to lean in favor of yes.
In the first half, he had already deceived Reina on a penalty.
OH WHAT AUBAMEYANG GOAL 😱
Cross or shot?
Was the Gabonese attacker's gesture voluntary?
In any case, it makes 4-0 for OM!#OMVCF |

With Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, FC Barcelona and now OM, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has left his mark on the Europa League, even if he never won it (a final in 2019 with Arsenal).
Meeting this year with OM?
