Aubameyang Gets Barcelona No. 25 Kit - Here Is Why No Other Number Was Possible
FC Barcelona have revealed the new shirt number of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and it is a number he has never used before - 25. Let us find out why Aubameyang will wear the No. 25 shirt.
La Liga Only Allow Numbers 1-25 For First-Team Players
The reason why Aubameyang got the No. 25 kit is simple - La Liga only allow numbers 1-25 to be used by first-team players, and there was no other number left.
Adama secured the No. 11 just a few days before
Adama Traore just some days before got the number 11, and that left just one number - 25.
Usually, No.1, 13 and 25 are reserved for goalkeepers. However, Barcelona only have two senior goalkeepers, so Aubameyang could choose No. 25.
As pointed out by @squadnos, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the third former Arsenal player to wear number 25 for Barcelona, after Alex Song and Thomas Vermaelen.
Dani Alves has been left out of Barcelona's Europa League squad
Meanwhile, Dani Alves (No. 8) has been left out of Barcelona's Europa League squad. Article 46 of UEFA's regulations state that from "the knockout round play-offs, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the current competition"
