The performance of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in LaLiga already begins to leave individual record. With his goal in Anoeta in front of the Real Sociedad (0-1), the gabonés arrived to 9 goals in his first 11 parties in the tournament and equalised a mark that, up to now, only had achieved three players in the history of the FC Barcelona: Romário, Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimović. The difference between 'Auba' and the three 'killers' blaugranas is that all they arrived in summer, while the '25' arrived in winter.

In his only season in the club, Nazário annotated 47 goals in 49 parties, 37 of them in LaLiga. Incredibly, Ronaldo left to the Inter of Milan in the summer of 1997 and, in 2002, would return to Spain with the Real Madrid.
Similar case occurred with Zlatan, that arrived in the summer of 2009 by 71 million euros, record figure for the club in this moment. The Swedish arrived to replace to Samuel Eto'or in the XI of Pep Guardiola that won the 'sextete' this year and, in his only season like culé, annotated 16 goals in the League and a total of 21 so many in 45 apparitions. In August of 2010 would leave to the AC Milan.
Aubameyang, the record signing of Xavi
Instead, Pierre-Emerick added to the Barça on 1 February in the middle of a very complicated season in which Xavi Hernández replaced to Ronald Koeman in November. In spite of this, the gabonés has attained to convert 11 goals in his first 17 parties in the club, by which in alone two months and half has turned into the 'pichichi' of the team in the 2021-22 equalising to Memphis Depay, the one who also adds 11 so many in 32 parties.
Thus, the directive has recognised cost it Aubameyang and rewarded him with an increase of wage from the 2022-23 by a total of 18 'kilos' net to the year. The gabonés has agreement until June of 2025 and will earn 2 million euros by his first six months in the team to the cual arrived like free agent after terminating his agreement in the Arsenal.
