Ronald Araújo received a red card in the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain and put Barcelona at a disadvantage. This earned him criticism from Ilkay Gündogan. Araújo remained calm after a question about his teammate’s words.
Overall, Barça was unable to prevent PSG from qualifying for the semi-finals. “Regardless of the opponent, it is impossible to come back if one of your players is sent off the field,” Gundogan said after the elimination. ‘We felt like we were in control of the game until the red card. Was that right? It’s a foul, so it’s a red card.’

Araújo showed his face at a book presentation on Thursday and was asked about Gündogan’s words. The defender decided to spare his teammate. ‘What did I think of that? I’ll keep that to myself. I have norms and values and they must be respected,” Araújo responded.
The 25-year-old defender was also asked about his contract in Catalonia, which has two more years to run. In the corridors, Araújo is linked to Bayern Munich. “There’s always talk,” he responded. ‘I am very happy in Barcelona. My agents have started discussions about a contract extension.’
