Ronald Araújo returned to the starting lineup with FC Barcelona and has done so on a key night for the Barça team. The charrúa was a real rock in defense and stopped Vinícius Jr from start to finish
The FC Barcelona goleó to the Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu, but no only this. Xavi Hernández gave a 'bathroom' to Carlo Ancelotti that bet by the improvisation in front of the absence of his maximum star: Karim Benzema. The egarense, that saw the Classical like a final and a turning point, left to the of Reggiolo in the street in a party in which the Barça did not suffer at all, but yes left a true recital with an offensive exhibition of the culés that finish 'only' with four goals.
Xavi bet by an alignment with novelties, but logical for the party. The big surprise was that Dani Alves remained in the bench, although it came being indisputable headline in LaLiga. Nevertheless, the egarense took note of the party of the Supercopa of Spain and saw how much suffered the Brazilian to defend and try brake to Vinícius Jr (that it did not finish it achieving), reason by which gave a 'dump' in the right side.
It bet by Ronald Araújo, the one who already had played several parties in this band during the past year and had fulfilled with grow. His speed and capacity to impose in the one against one were the two factors that the trainer of Terrassa took in consideration and the plan went out him to perfection: 'Vini' remained neutralised by the band and hardly participated in the meeting.
The international with the 'canarinha' appeared in the first chamber of hour, with a played in which it threw of speed to plant in the area of Ter Stegen. It surpassed to Araújo and to the one who wanted to, but instead of kicking, sent the balloon to Fede Valverde that finished, but the guardameta culé took out a good hand to command it to the corner. It was the only clear opportunity that had the Madrid, by the way.
Of rest, Toraújo blocked the go through the right band of the Barça and left without shine to a Vinícius Jr that went back to appear, in the second part, to simulate a penal by fault inside the area. Little more or at all of the madridista that, without Karim Benzema, loses in the forward. By the contrary, Araújo went back to show his cost and that it is importantísimo for the Barcelona defence (and although they say the contrary).
The Barça can not leave that it leave
As if it was little his defensive work, the international with Uruguay went back to get dressed of '9' to finish in the area and mark, again, against the Real Madrid. Already it achieved it in the past season and in this has not failed. It received the balloon in the heart of the area and between the central, Praises and Militao. The charrúa jumped more than anybody to finish to bocarrajo, down, that was impossible to detain for Courtois and put the 0-2 before the rest in Santiago Bernabéu.
In the middle of a new exhibition, the future of Araújo is in the air because it follows without renewing his agreement and every time sees more difficult. The postures are very move# away and the possibility that the international with Uruguay abandon the City Condal seems more real that never. Joan Laporta has left to know, besides, that Araújo (and the own Gavi) have to value his offers of renewal with a low wage because these have dates of vencimiento. The Barça seems that it does not go to put a lot of effort in retaining them if they do not accept what are proposing in the contractual negotiations.
