Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has heaped praise on Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang after he opened his account for the club in Sunday’s 4-1 win at Valencia.
The striker netted twice in the first half – with suggestions he scored a hat-trick, after Pedri’s long-range effort took a small deflection off the unsuspecting Aubameyang's strike in the second half – in an impressive win for the Catalan side.
Aubameyang, who joined from Arsenal for free on 2 February, was making his first start in La Liga having also been included in the starting line-up for the first time for the Europa League first leg draw against Napoli on Thursday evening.
