Gomes, Greenwood and Aubameyang fire Marseille back to Ligue 1 summit

Marseille
November 2025

Angel Gomes’ dipping free-kick squirmed through Radoslaw Majecki, Mason Greenwood doubled from the spot, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang buried a late header for a 3-0 win. Roberto De Zerbi’s side steadied after a difficult run to reclaim top spot. Marseille controlled tempo, pressed high, and adapted after Brest’s halftime shape shift. De Zerbi praised verticality and chance volume, admitting prior inconsistency but stressing structural cues returned: aggressive rest-defence, quick switches, and wide overloads yielding repeat high-value entries.

Roberto De Zerbi laments injury crisis as Marseille face Atalanta

Marseille
November 2025

Marseille enter Atalanta with a depleted squad. Timothy Weah, Bilal Nadir, Leonardo Balerdi, Facundo Medina, Amine Gouiri, Hamed Junior Traore and Geoffrey Kondogbia are out. Emerson Palmieri is suspended, while Pol Lirola and Neal Maupay are not on the UEFA list. De Zerbi framed Auxerre’s win as resilience amid adversity but admitted sharpness and options are thin. With Nayef Aguerd doubtful, Marseille must compress distances, protect rest defence, and lean on pragmatism over fluency to survive the fixture congestion.

De Zerbi explains Greenwood benching before Atalanta

Mason Greenwood (Marseille)
November 2025

Roberto De Zerbi benched Mason Greenwood for Marseille’s 1-0 win over Auxerre, citing sharpness and mental freshness rather than a physical issue. He stressed Auxerre wasn’t deprioritised for Atalanta, preferring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Vitor Roque Vaz to start. Greenwood remains central, but rotation protected standards today carefully accordingly as needed without compromise or panic as required by context. De Zerbi said Greenwood and Gabriel Veron Paixao looked less incisive in recent sessions and matches. He managed workloads with Champions League intensity looming, seeking better pressing and decision speed from starters. Plan: reintroduce Greenwood promptly if training sharpness returns, maintaining options for Brest while sustaining tactical cohesion today carefully accordingly as needed without compromise or panic as required by context.

Endrick’s camp stresses long-term Bernabéu ambitions, but recurring DNPs and tactical pecking order argue for minutes elsewhere to restore rhythm, confidence, and national-team visibility before spring qualifying windows.

Greenwood added three open-play strikes between 67’–76’ before Robinho Vaz and Amir Murillo closed a high-tempo, wide-channel assault that overwhelmed 10 men.
