Marseille Tops Europa League Group B with 3-1 Win Over AEK Athens; Harit’s Performance Evaluated

While Harit did not offer the most dazzling spectacle of his career, his contribution was crucial at key moments, especially in the second half. With an average rating of 6/10 among various sports publications, his performance was hailed as solid, albeit uneven.

According to Maxifoot, Harit, although not omnipresent on the pitch, showed remarkable precision in his passes and combinations with his teammates, especially Ndiaye. His most striking feat remains his penalty, propelling Marseille ahead on the scoreboard.

Le Phocéen and Onefootball seem to agree on one point: Harit may not have delivered his most memorable performance. However, his ability to focus and convert the penalty was a turning point in the match, highlighting the importance of keeping his cool in critical moments.

90min.com and Footmercato noted his cunning play and ball control, highlighting his technique, even if the player was perceived as more discreet compared to his previous performances. His role, however, was vital in providing depth and creativity to OM’s attack.

La Provence put into perspective Harit’s difficulty in finding his bearings in the first half, highlighting a significant improvement in the second. His versatility was also highlighted, with Harit frequently switching positions and trying to unsettle AEK Athens’ defense.

While Harit did not dazzle the stadium with spectacular feints or decisive passes, his constant work and technical mastery helped cement the victory for OM. His performance serves as a reminder that a player does not need to be constantly in the spotlight to influence the outcome of a match.
