Ronald Araujo came in the 76th minute behind Inigo Martinezwho felt muscle problems. Barcelona was played a bit. The Spaniard is better playing with the ball by the leg from Uruguayan, the actions played from the back were not so smooth. In addition, Araujo could behave better when Inter Milan leveled in the added time of the game and went out in extra time, which he did not give up. First, he should not allow Francesco Acerbi to leave him in a duel and shoot up close. Later, he should press more on Marcus Thuram when the Frenchman stayed on the ball and then fell into the penalty area, creating a goal situation.
Araujo blocks and removes comments
A huge wave of criticism and even hate from frustrated and disappointed supporters of Barcelona fell on Araujo. There were a lot of negative comments under his instagram posts. Uruguayan decided not to accept such behavior of people, which is why he blocked the possibility of commenting under his posts, and he removed up to 700 comments until late afternoon. It is possible that this number has grown over time.
The commentators offended Araujo, they wrote that he was the worst defender, pressed to leave after this season. Even in January, Uruguayan seriously considered leaving Barcelona in the summer, but eventually extended the contract until 2031. Still, there were suggestions that in this way the club secured himself, that he would earn several dozen million euros on the possible sale of a player.

– I think there was a foul on Gerard at 3: 3 [Martínie]. The referee influenced the result of the match, but you can't look for excuses. We have a good mentality and this generation of players will come back next year. We are sad, we wanted to advance, we played a great season in Champions League. We were close, but everything slipped out. Details decide in these competitions, we failed, and the promotion escaped. This will not affect Sunday game. This is a strong blow, but we have a strong mentality. We go for Laliga, we have left. Flick told us that he was proud, that we would try again next year. I think we showed our possibilities, the team played well, but they lost many goals. We must analyze this in terms of the rest of the season and next year. I would like to thank people who came to support us and who believe in this team – Araujo said after the meeting.
