Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, having had a remarkable first season with Borussia Dortmund, now aims to make a mark on the European stage. Despite his impressive performances in the Bundesliga, he has been largely sidelined in Champions League matches, often finding himself on the bench.
Ranked fourth in the Bundesliga scoring charts with 13 goals in 23 matches, Aubameyang’s most memorable moment came with a crucial goal in the derby against Schalke 04. However, his limited opportunities in Champions League matches have left him hungry for more.
Tonight’s match presents Aubameyang with a chance to prove himself in the Champions League from the start. With little at stake in the game, he aims to showcase his abilities and elevate his performance to a new level. Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp recognizes Aubameyang’s potential but believes he can still improve, particularly in defensive aspects of his game.
With Robert Lewandowski set to depart for Bayern Munich next season, Aubameyang sees an opportunity to establish himself as a key player for Dortmund. Despite potential competition from incoming striker Adrian Ramos, Aubameyang hopes his experience in prestigious European competitions will give him an edge.
As he prepares to take the field tonight, Aubameyang is determined to seize the moment and demonstrate his worth on the European stage.
