Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang knows that, after Barcelona's outstanding transfer window, he must take advantage of every minute Xavi gives him to get into the front line. Precisely that is what he did in the Joan Gamper trophy game.
The Gabonese striker came on at half-time, together with another six teammates, and he needed just five minutes to join the goalscoring party. It was 4-0 when he came on.
Franck Kessie, another of the substitutes who came on in the second half, received a ball into space from Lewandowski which left him in a good position on the left hand side of the box, where the former Arsenal man would assist from.
The former AC Milan lifted his head and, with his left foot, he sent a lovely pass which was hit by Aubameyang first time inside the six yard box, now with the goalkeeper beaten.
Frenkie de Jong completed the rout when he made it 6-0 six minutes from time.
