According to Xavi, “Aubameyang is good, and he trains really well,
“He’s a player who can make a difference, he works well in spaces and makes good runs into the area.
“He’s put in performances in recent years that have been very good. I’m very happy with him, he’s working positively in our group, and he’s very professional.”
Aubameyang has made two substitute appearances for Barcelona since he joined on a free transfer from Arsenal.

Aubameyang would be hoping to prove Xavi right, as the Catalans struggle to back into the champions league one Europa fixture at a time.
“The main objective for the season is to get into the Champions League for next year and there are two ways – finish in the top four in the league or win the Europa League” says Xavi.
However, Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti says “If we want to win the competition and donate a trophy to the city, we must be ready for everyone. We can’t decide who we play against and when.
“We will play our game, we will not use a special tactic just because it’s Barcelona. We try to play as we know. We know that in some moments we will have to defend and in others try to exploit the spaces.”
