Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang thanks Marseille supporters after criticism

Former Olympique de Marseille striker Pierre‑Emerick Aubameyang responded to a Marseille fan who apologized for insulting him. In a Snapchat message he said, “It’s part of a supporter’s life to get angry and even insult, but thank you for the recognition. I always gave my all and never cheated for OM. As a human, I thank you for your message.”

The exchange, posted on social media, was highlighted after Aubameyang left Marseille for Deportivo La Corogne. During his last season with the French club he played 41 matches, scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists, earning a €4.2 million annual salary. Despite the on‑field success, his stint was marked by vocal criticism from a segment of the Vélodrome’s supporters. His gracious reply has been praised for its humility and serves as a rare positive interaction between a high‑profile player and fans.
