Barcelona fans send cheeky message to Arsenal after another Aubameyang masterclass

• Aubameyang was on the scoresheet once again as Barcelona upped the style against Napoli in the Europa League
• The Catalan giants brushed off their Italian opponents 4-2 to win the tie 5-3 on aggregate as they booked their spot in the last 16
• After Aubameyang’s latest goal, sections of Barca fans took to social media to taunt Arsenal for letting go of the Gabonese talent

Barcelona fans were keen to ‘thank’ Arsenal, albeit sarcastically, after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put up another masterful performance on Thursday, February 24.

Aubameyang, who arrived at Barcelona on a free transfer from Arsenal, scored the final goal of the night as Barcelona saw off Napoli 4-2 in the Europa League.

Thanks to the Gabon international’s heroics, Barcelona advanced to the last 16 of the competition, and are now considered heavy favourites to win it.

Following his latest performance in a Barcelona shirt, the Catalan fans could not help but taunt Arsenal for allowing such a talented player to walk away for free.

One fan said on social media: “Thank you @Arsenal for giving us Aubameyang for free.”

“Thank you arsenal, for that gift called Aubameyang.” Another added.

“Dear Arsenal, thank you for dashing us Aubameyang it was nice doing business with you. If Saka is too much for you to handle, dash him to us too.” Went another.

Auba’s downfall at Arsenal

Mikel Arteta went on to strip the striker of captaincy, and for a better part of December, he was an isolated figure at Arsenal, despite being the club’s highest earner on a £300,000 weekly wage.

Aubameyang would eventually see his nightmare spell at Arsenal come to an end when Barcelona signed him for free, and he took a major pay cut to move to Spain.

He recently revealed that he did not think twice about joining Barcelona as it was an ‘opportunity that only comes once’.
