Barcelona achieved a remarkable victory in the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid with a 5-2 scoreline, leaving the entire team in a state of ecstasy and joy.
Barcelona and Real Madrid met in the Spanish Super Cup final at the “Jewel of the Shining” stadium in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with Barca emerging victorious, winning 5-2.
According to the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo is close to leaving Barcelona in the current January transfer window, with reports indicating Juventus’ interest in signing him.
Although his departure had been expected due to his reduced role in the starting lineup amid fierce competition in defense, his impressive performance in the Spanish Super Cup match against Real Madrid has suddenly changed the situation.
Araujo, who replaced the injured Inigo Martinez in the final against Real Madrid, delivered an outstanding performance that surprised everyone. He played a key role in strengthening the defense and maintained a high level of performance despite Barcelona’s numerical disadvantage. This impressive display led his teammate, Rafinha, to request that coach Hansi Flick halt any plans to sell Araujo, insisting that he should be a starter for the remainder of the season.
Rafinha confidently stated: “He proved his quality against Real Madrid; he deserves a starting place at Barcelona, and I have no doubt about that,” expressing his full support for the player to remain with the team. It is clear that this stance could change Barcelona’s plans for the January transfer window, as Araujo’s future may be reconsidered after his outstanding performance.
