Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Controversy

Aubameyang went on a trip to see former teammate Ousmane Dembele without informing the club. As a result, the club took action against him and suspended him.

Aubameyang was involved in another disciplinary reprimand as he turned up 35 minutes late for a practise session.

Aubameyang tried to force a move away from Dortmund, and in the manner he did, forced the fans to pull-out a banner stating, “No player is bigger than our club.”

Aubameyang later apologised for his actions. “First of all sorry for everything that happened in the last month,” he wrote. “But I wanted to change last summer, it did not work, but now it had to be. Maybe it was not the best way I chose, but everyone knows that Auba is crazy.”

“I’ve made mistakes, but never with malice. I will never forget these four and a half years at Borussia Dortmund, because you all gave me the strength for the level I am now. Thanks to the whole BVB family, the fans, the club, the staff and of course my teammates!”
