Harit Shines as Marseille Edges Ajax 4-3 in Europa League Thriller

Olympique de Marseille shone brightly against Ajax Amsterdam, winning 4-3. Beyond this performance, let’s see what the sports press thought of Moroccan international Amine Harit.

OM has proven once again that there are two faces to this team: one, less convincing in Ligue 1, and the other, dazzling on the European stage. Under the orders of Gennaro Gattuso, Marseille preserved its unbeaten record in the Europa League, and Amine Harit, the Moroccan attacking midfielder, played a crucial role in this success.

According to Maxifoot, Harit delivered an encouraging performance. Playing as a playmaker, he was accurate in his passes and actively participated in the attack. His contribution was decisive after the break, with a lofted cross that led to Aubameyang’s second goal.

Footmercato also emphasizes Harit’s influence in the heart of the game. Touching a large number of balls, he disrupted Ajax’s defense and was at the origin of Aubameyang’s brace thanks to a well-dosed ball.

90min gives him a 7/10 rating, highlighting his inspiration and technical quality, despite some debatable choices. His decisive pass on the third goal was a just reward for his overall convincing performance.

However, Le Phocéen and Butfootballclub are less laudatory, both giving him a 5/10 rating. They point to a certain inconsistency in Harit’s game, marked by ball losses, but nevertheless recognize his decisive contribution on Aubameyang’s magnificent overhead kick.

Finally, Hommedumatch.fr, with a 5.5/10 rating, acknowledges the difficulties Harit has encountered this season. However, his performance against Ajax, crowned by a decisive pass, suggests a return to form for the talented Marseille player.

Amine Harit was substituted at the end of the game by the other Moroccan from Marseille, Azzedine Ounahi.
