Trouble brewing at Barcelona? Araujo reacts to Gundogan’s PSG comments

Ronald Araujo has sent out a pretty strong message when asked about Ilkay Gundogan’s comments after Barcelona’s Champions League defeat to PSG.

Gundogan was critical of Araujo and felt the defender would have been better off not making the challenge on Bradly Barcola that resulted in his sending off.

Araujo, who has been promoting a new book, has now been asked about Gundogan’s words and doesn’t appear too impressed what what he’s had to say.

“Gündogan’s words? I’d rather keep for myself what I really think. I have certain codes and values that others need to respect,” he told reporters.

“I’m sad like all culers about the elimination, we had it in our hands. My expulsion is a fortuitous 50/50 play. If the foul is blown, obviously he has to send me off.”

When pressed further on if he’d spoken to Gundogan he said only: “I already answered that question.”

Gundogan’s wife has already leapt to the defence of the midfielder and his “treble mentality” amid the fallout of the damaging defeat.

Araujo also went on to apologise again to supporters who saw the team’s Champions League hopes ended in such disappointing fashion.

“We are so sorry. I’m so sorry. We are sad but we will try again next season. We will try again and give joy,” he added.

“There is always talk about the future, every year it will be like this, but I am very happy in Barcelona, ​​my family is happy. I show it on the field by giving everything and I will fight for it to come back to be the usual Barça until the end”
