Arsenal turned around a two-goal deficit from the first leg to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League last night.
Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was instrumental in the 3-0 win over Rennes, scoring two goals to clinch a 4-3 aggregate victory.
As part of his celebration, the Gabon international adorned a Black Panther mask, and fans on Twitter congratulated the Gabon international on his choice of Superhero:
Europa forever!

Aubameyang has been in superb form this season, having hit the back of the net 22 times in all competitions.
His form in the Europa League has been less convincing, having previously only scored in the opening group stage match against Vorskla back in September.
The brace versus Rennes was very timely, and combined with the efforts of his teammates, the 29-year-old helped the Gunners into the last eight for the second successive season.
The draw will be made later today, with Arsenal potentially facing Chelsea, Napoli, Benfica, Eintracht Frankfurt, Valencia, Slavia Prague or Villarreal.
