Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has admitted his disappointment after Arsenal missed out on the Champions League thanks to a late season slip-up.
The 32-year-old joined Barcelona at the end of the January transfer window after four years with the Gunners, who lost two of their final three games to miss out on a top-four finish, made worse by north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur leapfrogging them late in the race. Meanwhile, Aubameyang made Arsenal fans rue his high-profile falling out with manager Mikel Arteta, scoring 13 goals in 23 games for Barcelona to help them qualify for Europe's premier competition.
Now that the term is over for both clubs, the ex- Borussia Dortmund striker is enjoying the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend and was asked by Sky Sports for his thoughts on the Gunners' collapse. "Yeah, they came really close," Aubameyang lamented. "They made a lot of improvements and I'm a bit sad because I wanted to catch them in the Champions League.
