The 2015-16 campaign was a turbulent, emotional rollercoaster for Olympique Marseille as the club endured a deeply frustrating league season, finishing a disappointing 13th in Ligue 1 amidst a mid-season managerial change from Marcelo Bielsa to Míchel. However, the year was defined by the stunning emergence of hotshot striker Michy Batshuayi, who fired in 17 crucial league goals and anchored the team's attack with 23 goals across all competitions. This prolific form led OM on a memorable run to the Coupe de France Final before his subsequent record transfer to Chelsea, marking a defining chapter that solidified his status as one of Europe's most wanted players.
