Calls grow for Ronald Araujo to be sold after costly errors in 7-6 aggregate loss to Inter Milan — full breakdown of the fallout and fan fury!
Details:
Barcelona’s Champions League dreams were crushed in a dramatic 7-6 semi-final aggregate defeat to Inter Milan. After a chaotic 3-3 draw in Milan that sent the tie into extra time, Davide Frattesi’s winner sealed it for Inter. However, the spotlight post-match was not on the brilliance of Lautaro Martinez or Yann Sommer — but on Ronald Araujo.
Subbed on in the 76th minute, Araujo was culpable for both the late equalizer and the eventual winner. Fans erupted on social media demanding his sale, citing his marking errors and failure to contain Inter’s forwards in the final minutes. Comments included:
“Sell Araujo. How many times have I said this?”
“This needs to be his final match for the club.”
Supporters were also furious about his captaincy credentials, blaming both him and Ter Stegen for lacking leadership under pressure.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan and Barcelona’s tie matched the Champions League knockout record for most goals (13), tying Liverpool’s 7-6 aggregate win over Roma in 2018.
