Aubameyang is now the second Barcelona player to score a brace in his first LaLiga start in the 21st century, after Francisco Trincão against Alavés in February 2021.
In 14 Premier League appearances before his departure this season, the former Arsenal skipper only scored four goals.

With the game scoreless at the time, Aubameyang broke the deadlock on 23 minutes, after racing onto a superb long-range pass from Jordi Alba before slotting the ball into the top right corner of the goal.
He got his second and Barca’s third goal in the 38th minute after finishing off a flowing move.
Other scorers for Barca were Frenkie De Jong (32nd minute) and Pedri (63rd minute). The win against Valencia moves Barca into fourth place on 42 points in the league table. (Completesports)
