LIGUE 1: MICHY BATSHUAYI SCORES FIRST GOAL WITH MARSEILLE, REVELS IN THE MOMENT
Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi couldn’t hide his joy after netting his first goal of the season for Olympique de Marseille during their 3-1 victory over Bordeaux on Sunday evening in Matchday 14 of Ligue 1.
Coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute, the former Standard de Liège forward made an immediate impact, sealing OM’s win with a late goal. After the match, Batshuayi took to Twitter to share his happiness and gratitude, savoring the moment that marked a key step in his integration into Marcelo Bielsa’s squad.
“So happy for my first goal with OM tonight! Big respect to my teammates Gignac and Lemina for their goals as well!” he tweeted.
Batshuayi’s goal came as Marseille continued their fight to reclaim the top spot in Ligue 1, closely trailing Paris Saint-Germain. With more appearances like this, the young striker is beginning to prove he can be a valuable asset off the bench—or even in a starting role.
