Aubameyang previously wore a Black Panther mask after scoring a double against Rennes in the second leg of the Arsenal Europa League round of 16 in March 2019.
“I needed a mask to represent me and that’s the Black Panther. In Gabon, we called the national team Panthers,” he said at the time.
Before the game against Liverpool on Saturday, Aubameyang tweeted a photo of Boseman and captioned it “Wakanda forever.”
Mikel Arteta’s men won the Community Shield 5-4 on penalties after the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
