Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's recent display for Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1 has been nothing short of sensational. In their latest match against FC Lorient, Aubameyang shone, scoring two crucial goals in a 4-2 victory.
This performance marked his first brace in Europe's top leagues since May 2022 when he played for Barcelona against Celta de Vigo. Additionally, it was the first time since April 2013, during his days with AS Saint-Étienne, that he netted two goals in a Ligue 1 game.
What's most striking about Aubameyang's recent form is his stunning turnaround. After a slow start, he has exploded with four goals in his last three Ligue 1 games, contrasting starkly with just one goal in his first 12 appearances for Marseille this season.
Aubameyang's resurgence seems to stem from Coach Gennaro Gattuso's tactical adjustments. This shift has revitalized the striker, evident in his improved finishing – scoring four goals from just six attempts in December after struggling with one goal from 30 shots earlier this season.
Aubameyang's current streak of scoring in three consecutive league games is his best since his Arsenal days in September 2019.
As Marseille enjoy their wins, Aubameyang's resurgence serves as a testament to his resilience and the impact of tactical changes. With his current form, Aubameyang's level offers a beautiful narrative for Marseille in their ongoing Ligue 1 campaign.
Marseille will now face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Europa League this Thursday and then welcome Clermont Foot to the Vélodrom next Sunday in Ligue 1 action. Will Auba’s form continue? We will see...
