Hojbjerg likely had his best outing this season for Marseille, contributing two chances created along with season highs of three clearances and three blocks. He set the physical tone in midfield and helped Marseille manage Monaco's late push. Hojbjerg will look to build on that performance heading into 2026 with the same approach and motivation he showed while wearing the captain's armband until Leonardo Balerdi came on.

His positioning helped Marseille survive two tight offside decisions that went their way, as he contributed a season high four clearances. Rulli preserved the win late in the match with an outstanding save to deny Mika Biereth, likely the save of the season in Ligue 1, and proved to be the second most decisive player for Marseille behind Mason Greenwood.
