Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has replied to Arsenal fans on social media after the Chelsea striker was subject to boos when the two Premier League giants met at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
Aubameyang spent four years with the north Londoners, establishing himself as one of the Premier League's best strikers whilst also being crucial to his side winning the FA Cup back in 2020, scoring twice in the semi-final and again netting a brace in the final. However, his time with the Gunners ultimately ended on a sour note, stripped of the club's captaincy following a disciplinary dispute before being shipped off to Barcelona as his contract was mutually terminated back in January 2022.
The Gabon international then joined Chelsea last summer, a move that hasn't quite worked out for the player, starting just five times in the league this term. He made his return to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, receiving a chorus of boos from the home faithful as Mikel Arteta's side clinched a 3-1 victory thanks to two goals from Martin Odegaard and a Gabriel Jesus close-range finish.

"Honestly feel so bad for him," one Arsenal supporter wrote of Aubameyang after the match. "Always positive, almost lost his mother, caught malaria, toxic end at Arsenal, went to Barca and got his house robbed, now gone to Chelsea and not playing at all, was made fun of at Stamford Bridge by our players and now booed by fans that he loved."
This post was then shared on Instagram along with the caption: "No matter what I'll always love you @auba". Aubameyang himself then responded by saying: "You know sometimes people forget what's the real life and forget about how you can't control what's gonna happened [sic]."
