DBasia.news – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored seven goals in seven LaLiga games. Despite only playing in the competition for a few months, he is already one of the best players this season and reaffirmed that in El Clasico scoring two goals and an assist.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may have only arrived in LaLiga two months ago, but the Gabon international enjoyed one of the best performances of his career while he was playing.
In El Clasico, Auba scored two goals to add to his tally. He proved that his arrival to Barcelona was, without a doubt, a smart decision. Aubameyang managed to become a fundamental part of this team thanks to the goals he scored.
He played his first El Clasico for the Blaugrana last week and did so by scoring the opening and closing goals: Aubameyang scored the first goal of the game against Real Madrid in the 29th minute, and then sealed a 4-0 victory with a goal in the 51st minute. In that match he also assisted Ferran Torres for the third goal.
The Gabon international is the main threat that Real Madrid’s defense has to worry about. In an El Clasico match, Aubameyang managed to outwit the defender guarding him to score and celebrated with an overhead kick at the Santiago Bernabeu, the stadium where Hugo Sanchez, his idol, has done both things over the years.
One goal every 63 minutes plus Seven goals and one assist in seven LaLiga games are Auba’s statistics at Barca. Although his debut only came in February, the striker is already among LaLiga’s top 20 goalscorers for this season.
Unsurprisingly if he continues to score goals, Aubameyang is a candidate for next year’s Pichichi Award, the award given to the top scorer each season in LaLiga.
His stats have made Aubameyang one of the best winter signings in all of Europe. Not only has he stood out in Spain since his arrival, but he has become one of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe’s five major leagues since joining FC Barcelona.
Since his debut day on 6 February, Aubameyang is the top scorer in Europe’s top league with seven goals, level with Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane, and ahead of other great names in Europe such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
Of course, Aubameyang’s ability to score goals is nothing new and it didn’t just start with his arrival in LaLiga. He is a sharp goalscorer, especially over the last few years in the Premier League.
During four seasons at Arsenal, he managed to score 68 goals. In the 2018-2019 season and the 2019-2020 season, Aubameyang scored 22 goals. Given his current record, the former AC Milan can reach numbers like before if he plays throughout the next season with Barcelona.
Aubameyang celebrated his second goal against Real Madrid in El Clasico by imitating Goku, the hero from the Dragon Ball anime series and the character with the tattoo on his leg. Like Goku, Aubameyang will seek to become a Super Saiyan for the rest of the season.
