Trending: ‘Aubameyang has more goals than Messi in 2022’ – Fans in awe of Barcelona star

Barcelona fans have taken to social media pages to hail the performance of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after he scored yet again in the team’s 4-0 win against Athletic Bilbao in a La Liga fixture on Sunday.
The 32-year-old Gabon international, who joined the Catalans from Arsenal on transfer deadline day, opened the score in the 37th minute after he connected with a loose ball in the area.

Ousmane Dembele scored the second in the 73rd minute, Luuk de Jong added the third in the 90th minute before Memphis Depay rounded up the huge win in stoppage time. The Gabon striker's goal against Athletic was his first at Camp Nou but fourth in the top-flight having scored a hat-trick as Barcelona humiliated Valencia 4-1 a week ago.
Fans have compared Aubameyang’s fine start to Barcelona life to that of Lionel Messi's struggles at French Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain.
While others were quick to lavish praise across the Barcelona squad.
Slow build up, swift recovery😍

Pedri's the best young player in the world!
DEMBELE IS THAT GUY
Adama, Gavi, Dest, Araujo & Pique🔥
Ferran needs flogging!
Aubameyang's the best striker in Europe
Xavi's still cooking. Europe, be scared!
WE ARE BACK💙❤️
Messi's still the🐐
Another win, solid team performance. Aubameyang, a potent finisher & rapid striker, exactly what we have been lacking recent years. Immediate impact! Dembele with golazo, I couldn't enjoy it after everything. Pedri has been phenomenal, what a beauty. Gracias team. #BarçaAthletic pic.twitter.com/kOyOJQSJHr

I've always said Barcelona should give Dembele whatever he asks to renew his contract: tonight's performance is a strong justification.

As for Pedri, we have in our hands a maestro, one who always reminds you of Iniesta. Adama & Aubameyang are equally weapons of mass destruction pic.twitter.com/uBb4UjaQVG
-Pique X Araujo cleansheet.

- PEDRI winning the golden boy award is not a fluke.
- Aubameyang will fulfill his promise of guaranteeing us top 4 finish.
- Dembele 🔥🔥.Goal from the left wing, 2 assists from the right wing.
FORÇA BARCA❤️💙
At least one Barca fan was forced to eat his words after being less than impressed with Auba's acquisition.
I apologise for anything I said about signing Aubameyang
— K.Shah (@kshitijshah23) February 27, 2022
Others could not believe that Auba's English club let him go on a free transfer to the Catalan giants.
They really paid Aubameyang to leave 😭😭😭😭

Many could not hide their glee that Auba is banging them in for Barca, and couldn't resist a dig at Arsenal's goal scoring record this year.
So Aubameyang really means he has scored 5 goals for just 6 shots? It’s Crazy 💙❤️ PROPER FINISHER 💙❤️
