VIDEO | Aubameyang Scores Goal of the Matchday in Europa League
It's not a missile, nor is it preceded by a great play full of dribbles, no. It's better than all that. It's pure poetry.
The Gabonese striker scored a brace in the match, but especially beautiful was the second goal he scored, the fourth that Marseille netted to round off their great European night.
Simply enjoy it because it's a work of art how Aubameyang defines it, with what elegance he strikes the ball to give it the necessary curve to end up in the goal. Poetry.
Aubameyang is on a streak. He has scored in four consecutive matches across all competitions, totaling six goals in those games. In total, he has accumulated 9 goals in the Europa League.
Only Didier Drogba scored more goals (11) than Aubameyang for OM in a single season. That record is within reach now with the pending second leg and the highly likely passage to the quarter-finals unless there's a miraculous comeback by Villarreal.
