The Uruguayan star made an excellent save to help Barcelona not concede another goal against PSG.
Ronald Araujo is one of the names that received the most praise from Barcelona after the confrontation with Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The Uruguayan midfielder made the home team’s star-studded attack completely helpless thanks to his strong ability to read situations and compete.
In the first half, Araujo relieved Barca’s defense by successfully preventing a sudden change from Nuno Mendes. The PSG defender dribbled the ball past Jules Kounde and Lamine Yamal, but he could not beat Araujo to open up the shooting angle.
Meanwhile, the most dangerous spearhead on PSG’s side also remained silent before the perfect combination between the Uruguayan star and Kounde.
Araujo marked his impressive day with an unbelievable save. When PSG was leading 2-1, they had a remarkable ball deployment situation when Lee Kang-In poked the ball for Bradley Barcola to accelerate to break Barca’s offside trap.
The home team’s young player faced a perfect opportunity to increase the score to 3-1.
However, in a moment of hesitation, he was tackled by Araujo, causing the opportunity to pass by in regret.
The timely intervention from the Uruguayan star created the foundation for Barca to make a comeback.
Not only effective in defense, Araujo also shows a threat in fixed situations thanks to his impressive aerial ability.
The more he plays, the more important the Uruguayan player becomes at Barca. At the present time, Araujo is considered an untouchable name even though many teams are interested in recruiting him.
