The first starter accidentally wore a hat, and perhaps this kind of serendipity is the real shooter that Barcelona is looking for. For the past two seasons, Barcelona have been looking for top scorers to fill the void left by the departures of Suarez and Messi. In the last match against Valencia, Aubameyang unexpectedly scored a hat-trick, which finally saw the hope of revival. However, Aubameyang said in a recent interview: "I miss playing in the Champions League for too long", not only hurt Arsenal, but also accidentally injured the new owner Barcelona.
After a tortuous first half of the season and an exciting winter window, Aubameyang finally broke up peacefully with Arsenal and joined his favorite club, Barcelona. Recently, the super goalscorer who joined the team without a visa was interviewed by barcelona's local media "Daily Sports", reviewing Arsenal's details, joining the team and wearing hats.
When asked by reporters about his relationship with former coach Arteta, Aubameyang did not complain too much, but said: "I had a very good experience with him, I learned a lot under Arteta, and I remembered it, and I also learned how to be a good captain." "But it's well known that in the later arsenal period, Aubameyang's relationship with Arteta deteriorated and he was stripped of his captaincy, and maybe that's the only way to grow.
However, the climax of the interview was to talk about the Champions League, and when asked if he was particularly looking forward to playing in the Champions League at camp Nou, Aubameyang said bluntly: "Of course I want to, because I haven't played in the Champions League for many years." This short sentence, like a knife, pierced into the hearts of Barcelona and Arsenal.
Because since Aubameyang joined Arsenal, the team has not returned to the top four, which means that the team has never participated in the Champions League in the past many years. Barcelona, on the other hand, did not qualify for the knockout rounds because of its poor record in the group stage, and was also squeezed out of the Europa League this season, and also missed out on the Champions League.
It is worth mentioning that this season, whether it is Arsenal or Barcelona, there is a great possibility of impacting the Champions League qualification. The first is Arsenal, although the Premier League competition for the fourth is very fierce, but arsenal in the case of three rounds of less rounds of the accumulation of 42 points temporarily ranked 6th in the league, four points behind the fourth Manchester United, fully have a chance to overtake the opponent, and is likely to catch up with Chelsea, who ranked third with 50 points. In La Liga, Barcelona have accumulated 42 points to pressure Atletico Madrid with the excellent performance of the last game, and are back in fourth place in the table, and they have also missed a round.
Although Aubameyang has not played in the Champions League for a long time, after joining the team, if he can play well, it is very likely to return to the Champions League stage next season.
