Aubameyang Celebrates with Extinguisher After Scoring vs Rennes
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang found the net against Rennes on the final Ligue 1 matchday, held at the Stade Vélodrome on Sunday. His goal was followed by a distinctive "extinguisher" celebration.
The gesture involved Aubameyang mimicking an extinguisher, a direct reference to a disciplinary episode earlier in the season. The celebration drew immediate attention from the stadium crowd and match officials.
Earlier in the campaign, Aubameyang received a sanction after an incident at Le Havre where he sprayed an extinguisher. The punishment was imposed by the league authorities following the episode.
The current celebration appears to be a provocative reminder of that sanction, highlighting the player's frustration. Such actions are monitored closely by the French Football Federation.
While the goal secured points for his team, the celebration may attract further scrutiny. Authorities could evaluate whether the gesture breaches conduct regulations.
The club will await any official response before the start of the next season. Aubameyang's next appearance will be under close observation.
