'Strange and terribly annoying' Mason Greenwood fires Marseille into Champions League as French media praise 'undeniable talent' after late thunderbolt in crucial win at Le Havre

Ligue 1

Marseille

Strasbourg

Le Havre

<p>Amine Gouiri starred with a brace while Greenwood scored an 85th-minute goal as Marseille beat Le Havre 3-0 on Saturday in their penultimate match of the Ligue 1 2024-25 campaign and secured a spot in next season's Champions League. This was the winger's 19th goal of the season, as he still trails Ousmane Dembele by two strikes in the Golden Boot race.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MATCH?

Sometimes terribly annoying, he also has undeniable talent, and he gave his team victory with a sharp left-footed strike (85th). Replaced by LUIZ FELIPE (89th), who led to the switch to five at the back."</p><p><a href="https://www.lephoceen.fr/infos-om/saison/le-havre-1-3-om-les-notes-des-olympiens-225459" target="_blank">Le Phoceen</a>, on the other hand, rated Greenwood 8.5/10 as they wrote: "The former Mancunian created the most dangerous chances for Marseille. And most importantly, he saved his team from a 1-1 draw with a marvellous strike that Matthieu Gorgelin could do nothing about. The goal sent OM into the Champions League!"</p>

HOW DID THE FRENCH MEDIA RATE GREENWOOD'S PERFORMANCE?

<p>Fans were much kinder to the 23-year-old as they hailed the Marseille star's performance against Le Havre.</p><p>A fan with the X handle <a href="https://x.com/awa40144/status/1921335781035061284" target="_blank">@awa40144</a> wrote: "I’ll choose him over every other player walking this planet when it comes to striking the ball from different angles to finish. No player walking this planet ever comes close."</p><p>A United fan with the X handle <a href="https://x.com/RangerBanker73/status/1921319288998154675" target="_blank">@RangerBanker73</a> wrote: "This guy is crushing it over there."</p><p>Another fan with a handle named <a href="https://x.com/temiadetunji/status/1921331363619238309" target="_blank">@temiadetunji</a> wrote: "The way he strikes the ball is so powerful. That left leg is one of the best in the world."</p>

WHAT ARE THE FANS SAYING ON SOCIAL?

<p>Roberto De Zerbi's side will now aim to secure a second-place finish in the Ligue 1 with a win over Rennes in their final match of the season at home on May 17.</p>
