The Ageless Striker's Unstoppable Start
What an electrifying start to the 2026/27 La Liga season for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang! The veteran forward has found the net in each of Deportivo La Coruna's opening five fixtures, a remarkable display of consistency and predatory instinct.
This incredible scoring run sees him join an exclusive club as only the 11th player in La Liga history to achieve such a feat. His goals have come against Elche, Malaga, Valencia, Villarreal, and most recently, a crucial equalizer against Getafe.
Deportivo's Resurgent Talisman
Aubameyang's latest heroic act came during a tense away clash against Getafe. With Deportivo trailing in the 66th minute, it was the familiar figure of their star striker who stepped up when it mattered most.
He delivered a perfectly placed header in the 78th minute, capitalizing on a precise cross from Yeremy Pino, to snatch a vital 1-1 draw. This intervention was more than just a goal; it preserved Antonio Hidalgo's side's unbeaten record and further cemented their position as the surprise package of the campaign.
Since rejoining Spanish football for his second stint, Aubameyang has been nothing short of transformative for the newly promoted Deportivo. His 5 goals and 2 assists in just 5 matches highlight his pivotal role as the team's attacking focal point.
Etching History for the Galician Giants
Beyond the league-wide accolades, Aubameyang has also carved his name deep into Deportivo La Coruna's own storied history. He is now only the third player to score in the club's first five matches of a season, joining legendary figures Pahino (1954/55) and Walter Pandiani (2003/04).
This unique achievement makes Deportivo the only club in La Liga history to be represented by three different players on this elite list. It's a testament to both the club's enduring legacy and Aubameyang's immediate, profound impact.
A Veteran's Global Journey Lands in La Coruna
Aubameyang's career has been a footballing odyssey, gracing the pitches for European powerhouses such as AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona, alongside a spell in Saudi Arabia with Al-Qadsiah.
His return to Spain, particularly with a newly promoted side, showcased a calculated gamble that has paid off spectacularly. The wealth of elite experience he brings is evident, proving that his predatory instincts and commitment to goal-scoring remain as sharp as ever, regardless of the shirt he wears.
