Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a message for his critics after he inspired the Blaugrana to an incredible 4-0 win over Real Madrid in the El Clasico.

Aubameyang and his teammates were dominant throughout the match as they claimed a famous win against their arch-rivals at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Gabon international put in a 'Man Of The Match' performance as he bagged a brace and set up Ferran Torres for Barcelona's third goal.

The 32-year-old has hit the ground running in Spain, already scoring seven goals in La Liga, all of them coming in his last five games out of a total of seven played. However, things weren't always this promising during the start of the 2021-22 campaign for Aubameyang.

The Gabon international failed to create an impact for Arsenal during the first half of the season and was even stripped of the captaincy by Mikel Arteta after both men had a fallout.

Many fans and critics said that Aubameyang was finished at the London club as his form didn't improve and he found himself out of the playing squad.

The former Gunners captain was able to engineer a move away from the club and joined Barcelona on a free during the winter transfer window. Since then, the 32-year-old hasn't looked back and seems like the first choice striker for Xavi.

After inspiring the Blaugrana to a famous win in El Clasico, the Gabon international had a short and sweet message for his critics on Twitter.

"Hello from the finished player"

It does seem like the former Arsenal man is enjoying his time in Catalunya and is making himself a household name amongst Barca fans.

Aubameyang has revealed the main reason behind his incredible form at Barcelona.

While talking to Mundo Deportivo after Barcelona's Europa League win over Galatasaray, commented that he is working a lot and the important thing is that he feels happy again.

“What can I tell you? I am working a lot and I think that the most important thing is that I am happy. When you are happy, you have excitement for everything, to score goals, to help the team and to kill,” said Aubameyang.

It also seems like his biggest fan at the moment is Xavi, who called him a 'present that has fallen out of the sky' after their win over Osasuna.

Barcelona are third in the league table, 12 points behind leaders Real Madrid with a game in hand. They are due to face Bundesliga Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarterfinals in April. With the Gabon international firing again, it does seem like the Blaugrana are set for a strong finish to the season.
