We are two weeks before the 1/16-finals games. And the most interesting draw is obviously the Barcelona - Napoli one. This is like a Champions League draw actually as both of them are big teams in the end. But their inadequate performances have brought them to this tournament. And lately, Barcelona have started getting close to Napoli's level in performance I think. It looks like Barcelona have solved their striker problem with Aubameyang also which means they can be more capable of scoring many goals in a game from now on. I'm looking forward to watching a huge rivalry here. And I think that Barcelona might be the side to qualify for the next stage.
Aubameyang is a good player who has been linked with Real Madrid before and now Barcelona have him, but I don't think he is young anymore. I think he can still contribute to Barcelona this season when not many other players can match his attacking qualities. He will earn a place at Barcelona and maybe he will help the team more this season.
Although I think Aubameyang also needs time to adapt but I hope he will help the team a lot to win the games they are still playing this season. This signing shows that Barcelona still wants to compete to get back to their best until the end of the season.
I wouldn't say Aubameyang is that good. At Arsenal he has played poorly recently to say the least, and I don't think he will strengthen Barcelona. No, maybe he'll play up at Barcelona, start showing a level, maybe he's just tired/he's tired of playing in England? Maybe, but personally I don't believe in him yet. In any case, better him than nothing
