Match Context: OM chills the Blood and Gold at the Vélodrome

This match of the 31st league day proved decisive in the fierce race for European spots. In an incandescent atmosphere, the Marseillais caught the Lensois cold from the 1st minute thanks to an instant volley from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Franck Haise's Sang et Or reacted with character and finally equalized at the end of the match thanks to a superb cross header from Wesley Saïd (77th). But as RC Lens pushed for victory, OM took advantage of a fatal loss of possession to seal the match through Pape Gueye in the 85th minute. Marseille won at the end of a nail-biting finish (2-1) and relaunched their end of season.

Morgan Guilavogui: An offensive weapon who remained on the bench

A versatile, powerful striker with excellent pace, Morgan Guilavogui has established himself as a valuable asset in the Artois offensive rotation, capable of bringing danger and verticality at the end of games. For this high-tension tactical clash at the Vélodrome, the Lens technical staff chose to keep him on the bench as a luxury joker. Having remained on the bench throughout the 90 minutes, his jersey did not touch the pitch but was carefully prepared in the changing rooms. Featuring the official Ligue 1 patch and all professional flocking, this jersey is an impeccable modern collector's item.
