‘Let see who will laugh last’: Aubameyang replies to Arsenal fan on Instagram after Chelsea performance
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has responded to a sympathetic Arsenal fan who offered him support on Instagram.
The Gabon international has endured a difficult 18 months in his career and is currently playing for Chelsea where he’s failed to live up to expectations.
Aubameyang started the clash with former club Arsenal on Tuesday night and had an evening to forget as he touched the ball just nine times, including four kick-offs, before being taken off at half-time.
Since leaving the Gunners in January 2021, the 33-year-old has struggled to shine at Barcelona or at Stamford Bridge, leading one Arsenal fan to express some sympathy in a post that was captioned: “No matter what I’ll always love you Auba.”
Writing on Instagram, the supporter said: “Honestly feel so bad for him.
“Always positive, almost lost his mother, caught malaria, toxic end at Arsenal, went to Barca and got his house robbed, now gone to Chelsea and not playing at all.
“Was made fun of at Stamford Bridge by our players and now booed by fans that he loved.”
Clearly touched by the comment, Aubameyang replied himself, saying: “You know sometimes people forget what’s the real life and forget about how you can’t control what’s happened.”
After scoring 92 goals in 163 games for Arsenal, Aubameyang lasted just six months at the Nou Camp before being sold on to Chelsea last summer.
Since then, the striker has scored just three times for the Blues with the clash against the Gunners being just his fifth Premier League start of the campaign.
