Gabonese Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang performed an exemplary performance that led Barcelona to victory over Real Madrid in the “El Clásico” match, which was held at the “Santiago Bernabeu”, at the top of the 29th round of the Spanish League.
Aubameyang scored two goals and assisted in Barcelona’s 4-0 victory over Real Madrid, but the Gabonese star’s celebration of the second goal in particular sparked a state of controversy on the intention of the “Bulugrana” player from him.
What was Aubameyang’s celebration?
After his second goal, Aubameyang ran towards the corner flag to celebrate, before someone gave him a red ball, for the Gabonese to imitate a movement referring to the popular “Dragon Ball Z” cartoon.

The Gabonese celebration came in reference to Goku’s character in the series, and Aubameyang’s movement was evident to all of the character’s fans from all over the world.
What did Aubameyang say?
After the match, Aubameyang explained his celebration in statements to “beIN Sports”, saying: “Yes, of course, it is Dragon Ball.”
He added: “I had one wish, it was just to win there, I thought a lot regarding my family and my grandparents who passed away, but here I am glad I scored for them today.”
Not the first time!
Aubameyang is known for his fondness for “Dragon Ball Z”, as the attacker has tattoos on his body in his honour.
The person who will certainly not like Aubameyang’s celebration in the Clasico will be German Toni Kroos, who watched his team collapse in the match.
Kroos has previously criticized Aubameyang’s festivities, saying he is not a fan of those festivities that are being prepared in advance.
The Real Madrid star referred to Aubameyang’s celebrations with the “Black Panther” and “Spider-Man” masks, and said of her: “It is nonsense and it is not worthy of an example that should be followed.”
After a period of tension between the two parties, the beginning of the “El Clasico” witnessed friendly moments between Kroos and Aubameyang, where they shook hands and spoke together before the start of the meeting.
