Someone's loss is the gain of another. This is the statement depicting the exact situation of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabonese international left Arsenal as a result of non performance and disciplinary issues. Many thought that is the end of him. But he has been phenomenal for the Spanish giants. Barcelona saw an opportunity to bolster their attack at no extra cost and they gladly took it. That decision is now bearing fruits for them. Aubameyang has now scored 7 goals in the 7 matches he has played in La Liga. That is a healthy return for someone in a new league. The absence of Benzema caused Real Madrid yesterday. His movements were sorely missed. At the Santiago Bernabeu yesterday, he was a torn in the flesh of the Madrid defence. He scored a brace and assisted another goal in the 4 nil demolition of the Los Blancos. We were all expecting a keenly contested affair but were left disappointed. Barcelona wrecked havoc at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid couldn't match the guile and intensity of the catalans. They were outclassed and battered. This will serve as a reminder to them that the title race is not yet over. A win could have opened a 12 point gap at the top of the table. They still have a healthy 9 point lead. Anything can happen between now and the end of the season. They should go back to the drawing board and correct their mistakes.
