At 36 years old, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continues to defy Father Time as Olympique Marseille push for European qualification from 4th position. The Gabonese veteran has delivered a remarkable double-double this season—10 goals and 10 assists across 28 appearances, proving he remains one of Ligue 1's most reliable attacking outlets despite his €3 million market value suggesting otherwise. Operating as a clinical finisher alongside an impressive supporting cast including 80-rated stars Matt O'Riley, Igor Paixão, and Timothy Weah, Aubameyang has accumulated 1,740 minutes of action without a single booking—a testament to his disciplined professionalism. While his FIFA stats show reduced pace at 55, his shooting remains sharp at 55, allowing him to compensate with positioning intelligence and killer instinct. For a two-time African Footballer of the Year who has graced Arsenal, Barcelona, and Borussia Dortmund, this Marseille chapter isn't about individual accolades—it's about mentoring Marseille's next generation while still delivering when it matters most at the Stade Vélodrome.
