Bradley Barcola opens up on Ronald Araujo’s red card for Barcelona against PSG

Bradley Barcola has been talking about PSG’s Champions League clash with Barcelona and the crucial play that saw Ronald Araujo sent off for a last-man foul on the winger.

The red card changed the game entirely and saw PSG recover from going a goal down in the second leg to win and progress to the semi-finals.

Here’s what Barcola made of the incident:

“I knew that Araujo was very fast. When I saw him coming, I anticipated what would happen,” he told RMC Sport.

“I had been in a similar situation in the first leg, but I didn’t handle it well, and he caught up with me.

“So I told myself what would happen, and I knew he couldn’t do anything. Either he fouled me, or I was left one-on-one.”

Araujo came in for criticism from team-mate Ilkay Gundogan after the match which did not sit well with the Uruguayan. He did, however, send out a message to supporters to say he was “very sorry” the team couldn’t secure a place in the last four.
