Greenwood received a score of 0. |
Before the match, Marseille were considered the favorites as their opponents were struggling at the bottom of the table. However, the team from the port city collapsed within the first eight minutes of the second half, allowing Nantes to score three goals in quick succession. Coach Habib Beye's decision to substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang immediately after the break also highlighted the deadlock in the visitors' play.
After the match, La Provence gave the entire Marseille team a 0/10 rating, a rare occurrence in a major league like Ligue 1. Midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was described as "playing like a kitten," while Arthur Vermeeren was criticized for his poor attitude.
However, it was Greenwood who bore the brunt of the criticism. The newspaper described his performance as "shameful from start to finish," and criticized the striker for frequently walking after losing possession, complaining to teammates, and playing like "a circus" with cumbersome and ineffective maneuvers.
La Provence even sarcastically remarked that under different circumstances, Greenwood "might deserve an extra half point just for tying his shoelaces."

Nevertheless, statistics show that the former Manchester United striker still posed the most threat with 6 shots, 2 of which were on target. However, the English striker's form has clearly declined as he has gone 6 consecutive matches without scoring for Marseille.
Previously, Greenwood led the Ligue 1 top scorer race with 15 goals. However, he has now been overtaken by Joaquin Panichelli of Strasbourg (16 goals) and Esteban Lepaul of Rennes (18 goals).
This defeat saw Marseille drop to seventh place, thus losing their advantage in the race for a Champions League spot. With their form declining and their future uncertain, the pressure on Greenwood will undoubtedly increase for the remainder of the season.
