“I’m really sorry,” Araujo breaks his silence after his red card

Ronald Araujo, who weighed down Barça against PSG on Tuesday in the Champions League by receiving a red card for a foul on Bradley Barcola, spoke on Instagram the day after the defeat.

Ronald Araujo speaks for the first time since the root. Sent off in the 29th minute for a foul on Bradley Barcola, during FC Barcelona’s 4-1 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the Uruguayan defender waited until the next day to speak.

“Football, which gave me so much joy, is hitting me hard now,” the 25-year-old defender first wrote on his Instagram account.

“I thank everyone who is unconditionally by my side, my teammates who left everything on the field and the fans who believed in this team until the end. I’m really sorry that I can’t give them this joy. Let’s try again,” he added, before thanking God and launching a “Força Barça”.

Full support from Koundé, public criticism from Gündogan

This publication follows that of Jules Koundé, who supported Ronald Araujo by writing, also on Instagram: “We have always won as a team and lost as a team”.

Ilkay Gündogan was a little less conciliatory with the defender for this mistake that changed the dynamics of the double confrontation. For the former Manchester City midfielder, the error was not only avoidable but avoidable: “In these crucial moments you have to be very sure when you intervene, when you go after the ball. I don’t know if it touches the ball or not, but I prefer conceding a goal or even giving a one-on-one.
