The Gabonese is on the verge of dethroning the Ivorian Didier Drogba, top African scorer in the history of OM in one season. Pierre Emérick Aubameyang scored this Sunday, once morest Lens, his 14th goal of the season and the 25th all competitions combined.
By winning his duel once morest RC Lens, in a match counting for the 31stth day of Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille, 7th in the general classification, starts dreaming of a place for ‘’l’Europe’’ next season.
And this, thanks to his serial scorer, the Gabonese international striker, Pierre Emérick Aubameyang, scorer from the first minute and an assist for the last winning gesture from Senegalese midfielder Pape Gueye, in the 85thth minute.
With this goal and six days before the end of Ligue 1, the Gabonese is only seven (7) lengths from the record of Didier Drogba (32 goals), OM’s top African scorer during a season.
But the top 5 of the best African scorers for Olympique de Marseille is made up of the Cameroonian Joseph Yegba Maya (1962-1970, 236 matches, 112 goals), the Senegalese Mamadou Niang (2005-2010, 227 matches, 100 goals), the Senegalese Sarr Boubacar (1975-1979 and 1983-1984, 164 matches, 68 goals), the Ghanaian André Ayew (2007-2015, 209 matches, 60 goals) and the Ivorian Ibrahima Bakayoko (1999-2003, 136 matches, 34 goals).
Thanks to its Gabonese pyrotechnician, OM is competing on May 2 and 9 and for the 4th once, the semi-finals of the Europa League once morest Atalanta Bergamo; while the other poster will pit AS Roma and Bayer Leverkusen.
Pierre Emérick Aubameyang (31 goals, including 10 this year), has become the top scorer in the history of the Europa League in its new format, since the Europa League replaced the UEFA Cup in 2009-2010. In this ranking, the Gabonese international striker is ahead of Radamel Falcao (30 goals) and Aritz Aduriz (26 goals).
