Why Mason Greenwood is the only player with a special badge on his Marseille shirt for game against Nice

Greenwood has been a pivotal figure for Marseille, starting every match since his debut. In just three Ligue 1 appearances, he has already found the back of the net five times and provided one assist, to emerge as one of the most lethal forwards in the competition.

Greenwood stands atop the scoring chart and hence will have a special Ligue 1 badge during Marseille's match against Nice on Saturday. It will serve as a visible recognition of his current dominance which might further spur the forward to push himself even more for greater glory.

The competition for the Ligue 1 top scorer’s title is already shaping up to be an intense battle, and Greenwood will need to continue his prolific form to stay ahead of his rivals. Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola is hot on his trail with just one goal fewer while 11 players are stuck at two after the opening three matchdays.

Greenwood's impact on Marseille has been immense as Roberto de Zerbi's men are dreaming of dethroning PSG after a sustained period of Paris dominance. They currently sit second with seven points, two short of the Parisians but a consistently strong run can see them leapfrog the favourites, who have embarked on a new era following the departure of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid.
