Portuguese Winger Igor Paixao Stars in Marseille's Ajax Win
Igor Paixao, the Portuguese winger, made a significant impact in Olympique Marseille's clash against Ajax in the 2023-2024 season's Championship. His impressive performance, despite coach John Heitinga's reservations, has drawn praise from fans and pundits alike.
Paixao, who joined Marseille from Feyenoord at the beginning of August 2025, scored a goal in the first leg and a brace in the second against Ajax. His quick-fire goals in the 6th and 12th minutes put Marseille in the driving seat.
The winger's impact was not limited to his scoring prowess. He also assisted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Marseille's fourth goal in the 52nd minute. Paixao's performance was all the more remarkable considering he had only recently returned from a thigh injury that had sidelined him at the start of the season. Coach Roberto De Zerbi had gradually reintroduced him to the team, and Paixao repaid his faith with a display of stamina, desire, and defensive solidity on the left flank.
Igor Paixao's impressive performance against Ajax has certainly caught the eye. His ability to score goals, create chances, and contribute defensively makes him a valuable asset to Marseille. With his thigh injury now behind him, fans can expect more such performances from the Portuguese winger.
