Amine Gouiri is enjoying a remarkable spell with Olympique de Marseille after helping his team secure a 2-1 victory over Lens at the Stade Bollaert on Sunday. The Algerian international scored in the 10th matchday of Ligue 1, following his decisive goal against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League earlier in the week. His latest contribution also extended Marseille’s winning streak to five consecutive league matches.
Speaking to Ligue 1+ after the final whistle, Gouiri expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and recent progress. “That’s five wins in a row—we’re very happy. We played a great match and stayed solid. We scored very early, then eased off a bit. But at halftime, we didn’t panic; we told ourselves to stay firm, knowing that more scoring opportunities would come,” he explained.
Gouiri also highlighted the emotions within the Marseille camp after a difficult start to the season. The forward believes the team’s recent results reflect the hard work of the entire squad, particularly after a demanding week that included the European victory in Germany.
“We had a difficult start to the season. Now we’ve strung together five straight wins, following a big week that included a massive match in Leverkusen. It feels great, especially right before the international break,” he added. Marseille now sit in Ligue 1’s top four.
