Marseille’s Champions League Bid Ends in Heartbreak: Aubameyang’s Double Not Enough

2023-08-15 22:49:46

Not even two goals in the first half of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang they were enough for him Olympic Marseillewho conceded a penalty goal from Panathinaikos in the 99th minute (added time), being eliminated on penalties and being left out of the last qualifying round of the Champions League.

A bucket of cold water for those led by Marcelino García who, defeated by the minimum score in the first leg in Greece, was entrusted to the Gabonese striker, who made the difference, but might not achieve the main objective of the Marseillaise board.

The last minutes for Marseille were a nightmare and also the penalties that, with the entry of Rubén Blanco to replace the starter Paul López for the shootout from twelve steps, consummated their failure; the visitors scored all their shots and the locals missed the first one. Checkmate.

In this way, the French team is left without the Champions League group stage and is already beginning to say goodbye to the slim chances that Alexis Sánchez will sign for the team once more.

It should be noted that Marseille is the first to be eliminated in this phase, since the other clubs barely played their first legs this Tuesday.
