Barcelona are champions of Spain and this is something all soccer fans are aware of.
However, news that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who played for Barcelona this season for eight minutes will also pick up a winning medal has come out as a surprise to some people who are bereft of the technicalities of football.
According to the report, the Gabonese captain is eligible to earn a medal despite being a Chelsea player presently.
The 33-year-old joined FC Barcelona for the 2021–2022 season and put up 11 goals in 18 games before leaving for Chelsea, where things did not go as planned. The Catalan giants are reportedly interested in him as the summer transfer window draws near.
With a 4-2 victory over Espanyol in the Barcelona derby, Robert Lewandowski scored twice, mathematically ensuring the team’s 27th La Liga championship.
Given the club’s financial predicament and the Enriquez Negreira case, which allegations that Barca bought off the referee, there are a lot of storm clouds in the sky, but that should not detract from their accomplishments this season or the job manager Xavi has done.
Aubameyang joined Barcelona in 2022 when his contract with Arsenal F.C. was mutually terminated. But after joining Chelsea F.C. at the close of the summer transfer window, he went back to the Premier League. Gabon’s all-time leading scorer is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
He played in four competitions for the Africa Cup of Nations and the 2012 Summer Olympics before making his senior debut for Gabon in 2009 at the age of 19. Aubameyang won the title of African Footballer of the Year in 2016, becoming the first Gabonese and second player born outside of Europe to do so.
