Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sets new Champions League record with Marseille

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang once again proved his value for Olympique de Marseille in their UEFA Champions League clash against Union Saint-Gilloise on Tuesday, contributing decisively to two of the club’s goals in a memorable victory.

Marseille fell behind early in the match but quickly regained momentum thanks to Aubameyang’s influence. In the 15th minute, he unleashed a powerful shot that forced the Union Saint-Gilloise goalkeeper into a parry.

Igor Paixao followed up on the rebound to score, highlighting Aubameyang’s role in creating the opening goal.

Later, in the 41st minute, the Gabonese striker assisted Mason Greenwood, cementing Marseille’s advantage and demonstrating his playmaking abilities at the highest level.

These two decisive actions elevated Aubameyang to second place in the Champions League goal involvement charts this season, with seven direct contributions to goals.

He trails only Kylian Mbappé, who has been involved in nine goals for Real Madrid—a record for a single player in the competition this season.

In addition to his tally, Aubameyang also becomes only the second player over the age of 36 to achieve such a high level of goal involvement for his club in a single season, joining Robert Lewandowski, who registered 11 goal contributions last season.

This milestone underscores the Gabonese striker’s longevity and continued impact at the top level of European football.

Aubameyang’s performances have been instrumental in Marseille’s Champions League campaign, combining clinical finishing with intelligent link-up play.

His ability to create and convert chances keeps him among Europe’s most effective forwards, and his experience proves invaluable in guiding Marseille through the competition.

As Marseille continue their group stage fixtures, Aubameyang’s form signals a player capable of influencing outcomes consistently, setting new benchmarks for goal involvement and veteran performance in the Champions League.
