Author of a double header against Italy during the victory of the French team on Sunday evening at San Siro (1-3), Adrien Rabiot established a record as a player for Olympique de Marseille in Blues.
Very few Olympique de Marseille players have scored a double for the French team. If, yesterday, Adrien Rabiot achieved this feat against Italy at San Siro (1-3) by scoring first on a corner kicked by Lucas Digne (3rd) then, once again with a header, on a -franc again hit by Digne (65th), the French midfielder greatly contributed to the victory by two goals, very important for the ranking, of the Tricolores in Milan.
To find a Marseille player who scored a double in Blue, you have to go back quite a long way. Jean-Pierre Papin was the last Marseillais to score two goals for the French team while being an OM player, it was against Czechoslovakia in September 1991, more than 33 years ago.
Moreover, Rabiot is also the first Blues player to score a double header in an official match since Zinédine Zidane, in the final of the 1998 World Cup against Brazil (3-0).
Back in the national team this November, for the first time since Euro 2024, Adrien Rabiot will have made a successful return. Coming into play in the second period against Israel (0-0) on Thursday, he started in midfield against Italy on Sunday (1-3). Beyond his double, the Phocaean was important in the combativeness and intensity displayed by the midfielders.
