The Gunners booked their place in the quarterfinals with a 3-0 win, but one of the main topics of discussion of the match was the creative celebration of Aubameyang.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang explained why he chose to wear a mask inspired by the Hollywood movie Black Panther to celebrate his second goal in the triumph of Arsenal in Europa League Rennes.

The Gunners booked their place in the quarterfinals after beating the 3-1 deficit in the first leg by winning 3-0 at Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal took a 2-0 lead thanks to goals scored by Aubameyang and Ainsley Maitland-Niles before the striker added the Gunners' third goal in the 72nd minute to seal the win.

The celebration of Aubameyang may have ended the goal as he put on a mask for the 2018 film while his teammates congratulated him.

And questioned about the reason behind the mask, the Gabonese international said he represented him and that he shared the nickname of his national team, the Panthers.

"I needed a mask that represents me, it's the black panther. In Gabon, we call the national team the Panthers. "


Unai Emery's men were the best team, but were guilty of missing a few chances, giving their French rivals hope to play the game in overtime.

And Aubameyang admitted that he could have been more clinical in the game, adding, "I missed two chances to close the match, but most importantly, it's that we won and that everyone is happy and proud.

"Rennes was a bit nervous and upset, but sometimes it's football and it can happen like that."
