Did you catch OM’s latest celebration? Following the 2-0 victory over Toulouse that closed Ligue 1’s ninth round, Amine Gouiri broke down the Marseillais goal‑celebration tied to Igor Paixao’s streaming antics.
Just two minutes in, the Vélodrome erupted. A swift pass from Guillaume Restes set up Amine Harit, who struck from the right edge in the second minute, sending the half‑empty north stand into a frenzy.
Gouiri, the decisive passer, doubled the lead in the 25th after a high‑press recovery by Paixao. The trio—Gouiri, Brazilian winger, and Harit—mimicked a phone, tapping it with smiles before the striker explained the gesture.
Will Marseille keep this momentum and turn their TikTok flair into a title challenge?
“You can ask Igor himself—he does TikTok lives,” the 26‑year‑old laughed. “The squad vibes are great, it shows on the pitch. We enjoy every training day and it paid off today; we hope to keep it up.”
The fourth straight win lifts Genesio’s side to sixth place, confirming a return to form after a nightmare start. “We’re thrilled, even if the second half slipped a bit. Four wins in a row feels great,” Gouiri said. In my view, the squad’s resilience is the key driver of this revival. “We began poorly, but even when losing we saw positives, kept pushing and knew the tide would turn. Now it has, so we must stay sharp; the season is long.”
