Marseille Stuns Newcastle United with Aubameyang's Double: 2-1 Champions League Victory
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a blistering double in five minutes to send Marseille into the Champions League win column against Newcastle United. The Gabonese striker netted his first goal in the 25th minute, before doubling the lead with a second effort just five minutes later. Newcastle's Magpies responded with a goal of their own, but it was too little, too late as Marseille secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory.
The match saw Aubameyang continue to showcase his clinical finishing skills, which have been a hallmark of his career. The 33-year-old forward has now scored three goals in two Champions League appearances for Marseille this season, and will be hoping to continue his form as the Ligue 1 club aim to make an impact in European competition.
Newcastle United's inability to respond effectively to Aubameyang's rapid double raises questions about their ability to cope with top-tier opposition. Despite a spirited performance from the Magpies, they were unable to overcome Marseille's relentless pressure and determination.
The win marks Marseille's first Champions League victory under new coach Cristophe Galtier, who has been tasked with transforming the club into a force to be reckoned with in European competition.
