An urgent decision from Laporta after Barcelona bid farewell to the Champions League. The first football team of the Spanish club Barcelona bid farewell to the Champions League after its defeat to the French club Paris Saint-Germain by four goals to two.
Kylian Mbappe (two goals) scored 61 and 89 for Paris Saint-Germain, Dembele 40, and Vitinha 54, while Rafinha scored Barcelona’s only goal in the 12th minute.
Barcelona club president Joan Laporta decided to hold an emergency meeting with Catalan team coach Xavi Hernandez to discuss the reasons for the loss and exit from the Champions League.
Laporta also decided to get rid of the player Araujo after the disaster he caused in today’s match, and to accept Bayern Munich’s offer and sell him next summer for 100 million euros.
Laporta listened to the advice of former Barcelona star Carles Puyol, who told Laporta about Araujo: “He does not appear in any decisive match. It is better to sell him to Barca.”
The Dutchman also spoke during press statements after the match, saying: “We scored 1-0, which gave us the advantage in the task, but when you play with ten players in Europe, you know that you will suffer. “We tried, but it wasn’t enough for us.”
He continued regarding Ronald’s expulsion during the course of the match: “I did not see the expulsion. “I had the feeling that control of Barcola was in the hands of the goalkeeper and not Araujo.”
The Barcelona star concluded: “We tried, but today it was not possible for that to happen.” It’s a huge blow, because we were convinced we could succeed. We will have to try that next season.”
