Araujo disappointed against Inter Milan. |
Barcelona were bitterly eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals after a 3-4 defeat (6-7 on aggregate) to Inter Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza. This defeat sparked a wave of anger aimed at centre-back Araujo.
The Uruguayan centre-back was directly at fault for both of Barcelona's goals. In the 90+3 minute, he failed to keep a tight hold of Acerbi when Inter Milan equalised to tie the score at 3-3. Later, Araujo was also responsible for allowing Marcus Thuram to freely turn around, assisting Frattesi to score the decisive goal in extra time.
On social media, many Barcelona fans could not keep calm when talking about Araujo. One account commented: "Sell Araujo immediately! How many times have I told you? Sell him!". Another agreed: "This must be Araujo's last game for this club!".
One even suggested: "Araujo must go. A player like that doesn't deserve to play for Barcelona." Another angrily said: "Players like Araujo make you hate this sport ."
Araujo was not named in the starting lineup, but was brought on for Inigo Martinez in the 76th minute. However, his appearance brought instability to Barcelona's defense. Apart from making two errors leading to goals, Araujo only successfully completed one successful tackle and three timely interceptions in 44 minutes on the pitch.
Barcelona's dream of winning the treble has been shattered. Coach Hansi Flick and his team have no time to be sad. This weekend, the "Blaugrana" must focus all their efforts on the match against Real Madrid to maintain their hopes of winning the La Liga championship.
