Aubameyang hits out at Arsenal fans: “Hello from finished player”

When he was sidelined from the Arsenal team by Mikel Arteta, not many expected him to earn a move to Barcelona in the winter, especially at the age of 32. However, he pushed for the transfer, and eventually signed for the Catalan giants on the last day of the transfer window.

While Barcelona fans were mostly joyous about the transfer, Arsenal fans were surprisingly amused. Social media flooded with fans calling the striker “finished” and “past his prime” even though he had barely lost his physical attributes.

Less than two months into 2022, Aubameyang has already proven his doubters wrong. With seven goals and an assist in La Liga, he has scored as many goals as Karim Benzema since the turn of the year.

Two of those came against Real Madrid last night, and Auba could not hold back the diss for the ‘fans’ who called him finished. He tweeted a photo of himself celebrating his second goal alongside a photo of Goku from Dragon Ball Z with the caption, “Hello from finished player”.

Aubameyang was not, surprisingly, Xavi’s first-choice striker for the winter. The Spanish manager was gunning for Alvaro Morata, but opted to sign the Gabonese later in January.

He could not happier now, though, and has heaped heavy praise for the former Arsenal man.

“Aubameyang is a gift from the skies. He’s positive, hardworking, and fits well in the dressing room. It’s a privilege to coach him,” Xavi said about Aubameyang following their 4-0 drubbing of Osasuna.

With 15 games – or less – remaining in the season for Barcelona, and silverware in sight, Aubameyang needs to maintain his form and spearhead the team to a victory.
