With two goals in the Barcelona uniform in the Europa League this season, one against Napoli in a 2: 4 victory and one in 1: 2 over Glatsray, Pierre-Emerick Obmiang will try tomorrow (Thursday, 22:00) to bring the Catalans closer to the semi-finals when they play Frankfurt in Germany In the first game. The procurement pioneer who arrived in January will have another personal task and that is to improve his balance in the factory, which stands at 24 goals, just like the Israeli Mons Dabour. The two jointly hold third place in the factory’s all-time conquerors table, behind Eritz Adoris (26) and Radmal Falcao (30).
The Catalans could have three more games until the end of the season at this factory if they go through the quarter-final stage, so if Obmiang continues his great ability since leaving Arsenal, he will be able to pass not only Dabour and Adoris, but also Falcao. The striker’s goals came in the uniform of three different teams – he scored 14 with the Gunners, 8 with Dortmund and another 2 with Barça when with Lille he was not given the opportunity to do so at the beginning of his career in Europe.
If you also consider the previous edition of the Europa League, the UEFA Cup, Obmiang is ranked in tenth place all time, 10 goals away from the summit belonging to Ian Klas Huntler with 34 goals. He is followed by Henrik Larsson with 31, but if they add to this the legendary edition that was called “European Cup Winners’ Cup” the king of goals of these factories together will be the Swede with 40. Obmiang still needs a long way to reach that number and he hopes, like Barça as a whole, That next season there will be no such articles on him at all and will focus only on the Champions League.
