Tim Weah Scores Stunning Goal Against Real Madrid CF for Marseille
In an unexpected turn of events, Tim Weah, the Belgian-Liberian footballer, scored his first goal at the Santiago Bernabeu, making history as the first American to achieve this feat. The goal, a powerful strike that left Thibaut Courtois in awe, gave Marseille a significant advantage in their Champions League match against European giants Real Madrid CF.
Weah's time at Juventus was marked by misuse and lack of effectiveness, as he played in four different positions last season without making a significant impact. However, the goal against Real Madrid CF may have ignited a season for Weah, who had been struggling and misused at Juventus.
The goal came after a late-night call from De Zerbi, the coach of Marseille, who pitched the project, outlined Weah's role, and explained his plans for making the American better. Weah seemed to fit the mold of Marseille, which had become an island of misfits, picking up players from all over Europe.
Despite reportedly having the opportunity to move to the Premier League with Nottingham Forest, Weah turned down the offer to join Marseille. Fan expectations remain high for Marseille, as the club is significant to the city and its fans.
Weah's USMNT future is uncertain, as he has only played three games for the manager, Mauricio Pochettino, who was appointed in September 2024. Pochettino is looking to fine-tune his squad for the World Cup, and Weah's role in the team is yet to be defined.
The goal against Real Madrid CF was not Weah's first for Marseille. He had previously scored against Jamaica under Pochettino, but struggled in the following games against Panama and Canada in the Nations League finals.
The goal was not the only headline for Marseille recently. The club was in the news for a dressing room bust up that led to the departure of two players. Despite these challenges, Weah expressed that he is confident about his minutes, touches, and scoring opportunities with Marseille.
Weah was under contract with Juventus Turin before transferring to Olympique Marseille on loan on August 7, 2025; prior to Juventus, he played for OSC Lille from July 1, 2019. De Zerbi, the coach of Marseille, is known for being a players' coach and having tactical acumen that cannot be questioned.
In conclusion, Tim Weah's goal against Real Madrid CF is a testament to his potential and the faith that De Zerbi and Marseille have in him. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Weah performs and whether he can solidify his place in the Marseille and USMNT squads.
