6 goals behind Henrik Larsson
Although Aubameyang has entered the history of the Europa League, it is certainly not enough for him. And specifically, it is not the second highest European competition in general, as some time ago it was called the UEFA Cup.
There the ruler was none other than Henrik Larsson, who scored a total of 40 goals combined in both competitions wearing the shirts of Feyenoord, Celtic and Helsingborg. It’s six above Aubameyangwhich would reach 34 under the same circumstances, viz Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Heerenven, Ajax and Schalke).
