Jakarta –
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seems to really enjoy every chance to compete at headquarters Valencia, Mestalla. He’s done two hat-tricks there.
Aubameyang started as a starter when Barcelona traveled to the Mestalla, Sunday (20/2/2022) night WIB in continued Spanish League. He answered Xavi Hernandez’s belief with a hat-trick, with goals in the 23rd, 32nd and 63rd minutes.
Indeed, this hat-trick can be said to smell of luck. Because his third goal was the result of an unintentional deflection of Pedri’s kick, when he was about to avoid the ball that was moving fast.
But whatever it was, Aubameyang was confirmed as Barcelona’s fourth goal scorer in the match. He immediately scored a hat-trick in the match where he opened the tap for Barcelona.
The Gabonese striker may have to thank Mestalla, who gave him another chance. It’s nothing, this isn’t his first hat-trick at Valencia headquarters.
He previously scored a hat-trick there too, in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final on 9 May 2019 with Arsenal. His three goals led the Gunners to the final 7-3 on aggregate, although in the end they failed to win after being defeated by Chelsea.
That is, Aubameyang twice made a hat-trick in two occasions playing there, aka six goals in two visits. No wonder he called Mestalla like his second home.
“The Mestalla is like a second home for me. The last time I played here, I made a hat-trick in the semi-finals of the Europa League for Arsenal. This stadium has been friendly to me, I love playing here,” the 32-year-old told reporters. TV boat quoted Sport.
“I’m very happy, even more so because we won an important game that gives us confidence. We’ve played well in the last few games, but we didn’t get the results that match. It’s a big win heading into an important match against Napoli,” added Aubameyang.
