PHOTOS: Aubameyang sticks out like a sore thumb in white fur coat
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang attracted attention for all the wrong reasons during his stint on the sidelines to nurse an injury during Borussia Dortmund's narrow win over Hannover 96 on Saturday.
Seated beside his father, Aubameyang enjoyed the match from one of the most famous terraces in football as he sat among Dortmund supporters in the South Bank of the Westfalenstadion. Unfortunately, he stuck out like a sore thumb among fans who were primarily decked out in yellow and black outfits.
The Gabon international ignited a firestorm on Twitter when he popped up on television screens across the world wearing a peculiar coat covered in white fur that resembled something the late Liberace would've worn.
From there, social media took over:
