This time, there were no untoward consequences for his team. It prevents. Ronald Araujo could still have cost his FC Barcelona team dearly. Monday evening, the Uruguayan defender was lined up during the match of the thirty-third day of La Liga between his team Barça and Valencia FC (4-2). And like against Paris Saint-Germain last week, during the elimination in the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League, he committed an illegal gesture, this time synonymous with a penalty for the opponents. After the meeting, he was ignited by the press.

And not just in Spain. Because if Marca for example, this Tuesday was content to indicate that the penalty conceded by Ronald Araujo “ did a lot of damage throughout the match “, it is also in France that the most scathing criticisms have been poured out. An inveterate supporter of FC Barcelona, ​​former rugby player Eric Blanc was on the channel’s set on Monday evening The Team. And the consultant was therefore not kind to the defender. “ Araujo took down a guy. Penalty. He could have taken a red. I can not stand it anymore. »

“He only does stupid things”

The former Racing player continued his analysis with a desolate look: “ He just does stupid things. So of course, he’s twenty-one, he has great potential, but hey… I’m tired of seeing the same mistakes. (…) He starts again a week later, it’s crazy. » Probably still traumatized by his tackle and his expulsion which definitively changed the clash against PSG, Ronald Araujo is having a little complicated days.

But he can, however, count on the support of his trainer. After the victory against Valencia, Xavi did not want to press his player further, contenting himself with delivering an overall analysis by only talking about specific errors (which) caused the delay » to his Blaugrana.
