Aubameyang breaks Europa League goals record

Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has made history by becoming the all-time leading scorer in the Europa League.

Aubameyang achieved this feat during Marseille’s match against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday, when he scored his 31st goal in the tournament.

This goal put him ahead of former Manchester United player Radamel Falcao, who held the previous record of 30 goals.

Aubameyang’s impressive tally includes goals scored for multiple clubs, showcasing his consistency across different teams.

He has scored 14 goals for Arsenal, eight goals for Borussia Dortmund, two goals for Barcelona, and now seven goals for Marseille.

His latest strike helped Marseille secure a 3-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, and a 5-3 aggregate win in the tie.

The record for most goals scored in the Europa League only dates back to 2009, when the UEFA Cup was rebranded.

However, Aubameyang’s achievement is still remarkable, especially considering he is now level with Swedish football legend Henrik Larsson, who holds the record for most goals scored in the UEFA Cup.
