JAKARTA - Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang defended himself for his goal celebration wearing masks of different superheroes after being criticized by Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.

Speaking on his Einfach mall Luppen podcast, Kroos said this week that he did not like the former Borussia Dortmund player's goal celebration and did not think of it as good role model behavior.

Kroos also criticized Antoine Griezmann for imitating a dance from the video game Fortnite after scoring a goal.

Aubameyang, who previously wore the masks of superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and Black Panther after scoring goals, criticized Kroos on social media, saying he would continue with such celebrations.

"By the way. Does this @ToniKroos have children? Please understand I did this several times for my son's sake and I will do it again," tweeted Aubameyang on Twitter, including a photo of him in the cave drawn by a child.

"I wish you children one day and make them happy as the students of this school. Talk and don't forget #masker #staysafe."

Aubameyang has scored twice in the Premier League this season and could add to his tally when Arsenal travel to Leeds United on November 22 following the international break.
