Araujo speaks following beautiful goal against Valencia

Ronald Araujo was one of the main protagonists of Barcelona’s draw with Valencia. The Uruguayan youngster scored a beautiful goal and spoke to the media (via Barça TV+)

“We leave with a bitter taste, we wanted the three points. We have made some mistakes in defence that cannot be made. It’s a shame, we’ve had so many chances.”

The Catalans left their ground disappointed. They dominate the game and had chances to win it. Araujo scoring what should have been the match-winner says it all about the finishing. Antoine Griezmann could have scored in the empty net to make it 3-1 for his side, and thinking about this moment makes things sourer for Ronald Koeman’s men.

“I’m happy that I scored my first goal for this great club, but I’m disappointed with the draw.”

“That was the most important goal in my career so far.”

Araujo’s goal was a beauty. His mentality, along with his qualities, will make him a success story at Camp Nou. After his breakthrough year at Camp Nou last season, he is becoming a stalwart in the Blaugrana defence.

“We must continue working hard and correcting our mistakes.”

Mistakes have cost Barça in big games like El Clasico, Atlético or Juventus. While this result is not that bad, the performance was not too pleasing and needs a lot of improvement. If Barcelona can climb up the table before the end of the year, it would be a relief for every Culé.
