Video: Andre Ayew gets emotional, breaks down in tears as Marseille fans gives him a standing ovation

Black Stars captain Andre Ayew couldn’t hide his emotions as Marseille fans gave him a standing ovation during their impressive 5-1 win over Le Havre in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

Returning to the stadium where he spent five memorable seasons, Ayew was warmly celebrated by the home supporters, who showed their respect for the former Marseille star.

Despite Le Havre trailing 5-0 with 15 minutes to go, Ayew gave his team a glimmer of hope by scoring a late consolation goal. He delivered a brilliant header into the top corner with just five minutes left in the game.

Andre Ayew showed great respect by choosing not to celebrate his goal against his former club, Marseille, which earned him applause from the entire Stade Vélodrome.

The goal was a special moment for Ayew, as it was his first at the stadium in nearly 15 years. His last goal there came in May 2015 during his time with Marseille. It was also his first goal of the 2024/25 season after nine league appearances.

With just two minutes remaining, Ayew was substituted. As he left the field, the fans gave him another standing ovation, a touching gesture that moved the 35-year-old to tears.

Ayew spent five seasons at Marseille after joining from Lorient in 2009.

Over the course of his time at the club, he played over 160 matches in Ligue 1, scoring 44 goals and cementing his legendary status at the club.
