Barcelona star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang already feels at home at Barcelona, but affirmed that he did not expect to have any problems adapting to Camp Nou.
The Gabon international was allowed to leave on a free by Arsenal in January after being stripped of the captaincy in north London.
He has made a rapid impact at Barca, with his arrival coinciding with an upturn in the club's fortunes over the past two months.

It's a stark contrast from how life at Arsenal ended, stripped of the captaincy and banished from the first team before a winter sale ended his time at The Emirates.
What did Aubameyang say about life at Barcelona?
"I was expecting [to adapt] a bit because I've worked hard and wanted to do well right from the start," Aubameyang explained to reporters on Wednesday in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Europa League match against Galatasaray.
Aubameyang has not only collected a significant goal tally out of the gates, but has been heavily involved in the team's build-up and chance creation.

"I am happy with what I am doing. With the help of my team-mates it is easier and also with a team of such talent."
The bigger picture
Aubameyang has scored an impressive five goals in six La Liga matches since moving to Barca, including a hat-trick to take down Valencia on February 20.
The Catalans won five of those matches and drew to rocket up the table into the Champions League spots after a tough start to the season. Barcelona now sits third in the table, level with Atletico Madrid on 51 points and just five back of Sevilla in second, though they still trail leaders Real Madrid by 15 points.

Their best hope of silverware this season may be in the Europa League, where on Thursday they meet Galatasaray in the last 16 after drawing 0-0 in the first leg.
"I think tomorrow's game is key and we are prepared to come to win here," he added. "Galatasaray's defense did well in the first game and we know what we have to do tomorrow to win."
