All soccer fans are aware that Barcelona are the Spanish national champion. However, some people ignorant of the intricacies of football have expressed amazement at the news that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who appeared for Barcelona this season for just eight minutes, will also receive a winning medal.
According to a report by Tru News Report, despite now playing for Chelsea, the Gabonese skipper is reportedly qualified to get a medal.
Prior to moving on to Chelsea, where things did not go as planned, the 33-year-old joined FC Barcelona for the 2021–2022 season.

He scored 11 goals in 18 games while there. He is apparently attracting interest from the Catalan powerhouses as the summer transfer window approaches.
Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Barcelona defeated Espanyol 4-2 to win the Barcelona derby, mathematically guaranteeing the team’s 27th La Liga title.
There are many storm clouds in the sky due to the club’s financial situation and the Enriquez Negreira case, which involves suspicions that Barca bought off the referee, but it should not take away from their achievements this season or the work manager Xavi has done.
Aubameyang joined Barcelona in 2022 when his contract with Arsenal F.C. was mutually terminated. But after joining Chelsea F.C. at the close of the summer transfer window, he went back to the Premier League. Gabon’s all-time leading scorer is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
He played in four competitions for the Africa Cup of Nations and the 2012 Summer Olympics before making his senior debut for Gabon in 2009 at the age of 19.
Aubameyang won the title of African Footballer of the Year in 2016, becoming the first Gabonese and second player born outside of Europe to do so.
