It arrived ahead of time. And he spent more than 20 minutes signing autographs in the management office of the Antiga Fàbrica Damm. There was Ronald Araújo. There he was this Thursday calm and relaxed, involved and committed to the solidarity cause that he presented, as well as firm in his “values and codes”, which is why he preferred take refuge in silence and not respond to Gündogan’s words.
These are not good days for the Uruguayan defender, who felt “the hard blows of life” as he himself confessed, with the expulsion against Paris SG that “busted”, according to Xavi, the tie and left Barça out of Europe. One more year. “We have a young team, we will go to Madrid to win and we will fight for the League until the end“said the Uruguayan, convinced that this generation of players will end up winning the Champions League.

Barça is closer to the best (in the quarterfinals), but far from the greats like Madrid, which is enjoying its agonizing passage to the Champions League semifinals after dethroning City, the champion that has lost its crown. Araújo sponsored, along with Stuani, the Girona striker, both Uruguayans, the nineteenth edition of the book ‘Relatos Solidarios del Deporte’, the benefits of which will go entirely and exclusively to the Enriqueta Villavecchia Children’s Oncology Foundation.

“We have to give the maximum visibility to projects like this. When they told me that Stuani would also be another godfather, I was very happy and we sent messages to collaborate as much as possible,” commented the Barça centre-back, who did not avoid any questions after the last hours that he has experienced. Both on the field and off.
“I am grateful to the real culés who are helping me. Even when I left the field after being sent off, the culé shouted ‘Uruguayan, Uruguayan’!”
“I’m sad like all the culés about the elimination. We had it in our hands quite a bit. The move? It’s fortuitous, it’s 50 percent and 50. If the cobra has to expel me, if he doesn’t, nothing happens. I don’t feel responsible, but staying with 10 is something important,” commented Araújo, who has also avoided evaluating Gündogan’s statements.
“I prefer to keep what I think to myself, but I have codes and values that I must respect“, he stressed without wanting more details. “I already answered that question and I am grateful to the real culés who are helping me. Even when he left the field expelled, the culé shouted ‘Uruguayan, Uruguayan!’
