In the high-stakes clash between PSG and OM, 22-year-old forward Gonçalo Ramos had a breakout performance, netting a brace as PSG secured a dominant 4-0 victory in the 6th round of Ligue 1 fixtures.
This remarkable achievement marked Ramos’s first goals for the Parisian club and drew comparisons to another historic “first” in the world of French football.
Gonçalo Ramos had been eagerly anticipating this moment, and it couldn’t have come at a better time – during a Clasico against arch-rivals OM. Not only did he score his debut goal for PSG, but he quickly followed it up with a second, sealing his brace.
To find a precedent where a player scored his first-ever league goal in a Classique match, we need to journey back to February 15, 2000. During that era, the feat was achieved by none other than the current coach of OM, Jacques Abardonado, who, at the tender age of 21, netted a double against PSG.
This remarkable parallel between Gonçalo Ramos and Jacques Abardonado adds an extra layer of significance to the young Portuguese forward’s performance in the Clasico, further solidifying his place in the rich history of this fiercely contested rivalry.
