“Auba (Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang) has been a brilliant gift fallen from the sky for us because he’s very positive. He reacted very well in the dressing room. He’s adapted quickly to what the terms needs and the circumstances we are in. He finds space in behind, he can create chances, he scores goals. He works hard for the team. He pushes the center backs and the goalkeeper, so it’s a privilege to manage him” Xavi Hernandez, FC Barcelona Head Coach.
