Some football fans have now taken to social media to hail the impact the 32-year-old forward has had since joining the Blaugrana in January.

Another fan feels that Aubameyang’s partnership with Memphis Depay is one Barcelona will enjoy.

Patrick Thomas also feels the former Arsenal striker has done well knowing his first start for Barcelona was in February.

Some other fans wished Aubameyang had joined Barcelona at the start of the season.

Aubameyang had failed to score in his last three appearances for Barcelona before scoring twice against Celta Vigo to take his total goal tally in the La Liga to 10 goals.

Meanwhile, the man of the moment, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, revealed Barcelona did not play at their best despite getting maximum points against Celta Vigo.

According to Goal, the 32-year-old admitted the Catalan giants suffered against the Sky Blues until they had a one-man advantage when Jeison Murillo was sent off for denying Depay an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

Aubameyang has now shot to the top of the scorers’ chart in Barcelona as he has scored a total of 13 goals in all competitions for Xavi’s team.

Barcelona record super win over Celta Vigo

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Aubameyang on Tuesday night, 10 May, continued with his impressive goal-scoring form for Barcelona, netting a brace for them in 3-1 win over Celta Vigo.

Since the Gabonese striker joined Barcelona on a free transfer from Arsenal, he has been impressive for the Catalans with fans of the club happy with his presence in the squad.

Barcelona went into the clash against Celta Vigo with the target of impressing their fans at home, having already cemented their place to play Champions League football next season.
