Batshuayi: “OM Is the Club of My Heart”
Michy Batshuayi emerged as Marseille’s hero with his crucial 69th-minute goal that sealed a 2-1 win over Lille, ensuring OM finished as autumn champions of Ligue 1.
Born on October 2, 1993, in Brussels, the Belgian forward of Congolese origin is rapidly confirming his status as one of the most promising young strikers in Europe.
🔊 A Grateful Batshuayi Speaks Out
After the match, Batshuayi expressed his joy and gratitude:
“It’s a pleasure! When I was on the bench, I wanted to be part of these victories. Today, I was on the pitch. A big thank you to the coach for starting me. I proved that I deserved to be at this club. After my goal, I thought about all the work I’ve done over the past six months, which was rewarded in front of my fans. I want to stay; OM is the club of my heart.”
⚽ From the Shadows to the Spotlight
Long used as a substitute behind the likes of André-Pierre Gignac, Batshuayi seized his opportunity under coach Marcelo Bielsa, whose confidence in the young striker is clearly paying off.
Marseille fans will be hoping this is just the beginning of Batshuayi’s rise—and that he continues to shine in the blue and white shirt.
