The Royal Club met on Sunday evening with its counterpart, Barcelona, in the framework of the thirty-second round of the Spanish Premier League 2023-2024.
The pitch of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the stronghold of the Merengue, which hosted the El Clásico, witnessed the home side’s victory with a score of three goals to two goals for the Catalan club.
Vinicius Junior, Lucas Vazquez and Jude Bellingham scored for Real Madrid, while Christensen and Fermin Lopez scored the goals for the Blaugrana.
Xavi had previously stated that the match was unfair refereeing, because it witnessed many scenes of controversy between the arena referee and the Blaugrana players.
Ronald Araujo spoke during press statements after the meeting, saying: “It was a sad week for us, but I have strong determination and will to overcome it.”
He continued: “There is nothing to say about what I do on the field. Everyone knows that I cannot make a mistake in anything on the field.”
He added: “I think arbitration is not an excuse for today’s defeat. There are other details and we failed again.”
He added: “Today we left the race for the Liga title. There are other goals now. We have to finish second in order to play in the Super Cup.”
Trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano blew up a loud surprise after Araujo’s exciting statements, when he told that the Uruguayan player was tired of the situation the Catalan team was going through and made his decision to leave at the end of the season, and the closest thing would be his transfer to Bayern Munich.
