Arsenal Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrated his goal in the Community Shield against Liverpool by striking the Wakanda Forever pose.
It was announced very early this morning that the actor passed away after a four-year battle with stage three colon cancer.
Aubameyang has previously sported a Black Panther mask for goal celebrations in honour of Boseman’s wonderful portrayal of T’Challa, it was destiny for the African superstar to score at Wembley today.
His family said in a statement: “A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much.
“From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more – all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honour of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.”
