Ex-Arsenal ace Aubameyang first player EVER to score hat-tricks in Prem, LaLiga, Bundesliga & Ligue 1 after Barca treble
Sponsored by
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has already made history in his short spell at Barcelona.
The Gabon striker scored a hat-trick in Barca's 4-1 thrashing of Valencia on Sunday.
It was the ex-Arsenal captain's fourth game for his new club after sealing his January switch.
His third goal came in bizarre circumstances after it was initially awarded to teammate Pedri, before the referee ruled that it had deflected in off the ex-Arsenal man in the post-match report.
And the La Liga hat-trick earned Auba a place all of his own in football's record books.
The 32-year-old became the first player ever to score hat-tricks in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and French Ligue 1.
The Gabon striker scored 37 league goals in 87 games for St Etienne in France, which earned him a move to Dortmund.
He'd also had loan spells at Dijon, Lille and Monaco in the country of his birth.
Aubameyang hit the ground running under Jurgen Klopp in Dortmund and continued his hot-streak after the manager left.

The 32-year-old scored 98 league goals in his time in the Bundesliga before moving to Arsenal.
And Aubameyang banged in 68 Premier League goals at the Emirates before falling out with Mikel Arteta.
Aubameyang had netted seven times in 15 games for Arsenal this season before being left out in the cold back in December.
He was the subject of a disciplinary breach after returning back late from a trip abroad.
This led to him being stripped as captain.
And he would not feature again for the club before his contract was ripped up and he joined Barcelona last month.
He has taken a significant wage reduction in order to play for the Spanish giants.
But he's off and running at the Nou Camp in a bid to revive his career and one of Europe's great clubs.
