The two goals of the exdelantero of the Barça were not sufficient to avoid the elimination of his team, the Olympique of Marseilles, of the Champions. The directed by Marcelino García Toral received a goal in injury time, which forced them to go to extra time and later to the penal, where finally fell deleted in front of Panathinaikos.

Aubameyang Arrived to the Barça in January of 2022 and from his first days like culé knew to win to the fans with important goals. However, as a result of the problems of the Fair Play Financial of the Catalan group, had to sell to the forward gabonés by 12 millions to Chelsea. His season in English earths was very hard, since it did not have the confidence of his trainer, but now with his arrival to France, Auba smiles again, for joy of all.

The periplo of the forward in Chelsea began like an adventure ilusionante, but finish turning into all a nightmare. Aubameyang Was victim of a catastrophic organisation in Stamford Bridge, remaining relegado to a role more than testimonial. It forced his exit in winter, but could not 'rid' until does some weeks. The project of the OM is more than hopeful, and in the club expect that his new forward go back to shine, now in the Stade Vélodrome.

The resurrection of Aubameyang in France

From before it finalised the past season or even from the market of winter, especuló a lot with a possible return of the exatacante of the Arsenal to Barcelona. However, this was not possible. In France, the Olympique of Marseilles offered him the possibility to feel important inside a competitive staff, an offer irrechazable for the player. The smell goleador of the gabonés follows intact and this remained again showed in front of Panathinaikos.

Marcelino Toral, new trainer of the OM this season, has total confidence in his artilleryman, a profile with a lot of goal and experience in big stages, something that the Spanish technician values in him. Toral Would have been one of the artífices of the arrival of 'Auba' to the Marseilles, and is that it insisted in his signing in the dispatches. The OM has been one of the groups that better has moved in the period of traspasos. No only it has incorporated to big players, but it has done it without having to disburse big quantities of money, taking advantage of opportunities of market.
