Ronald Araujo Under Fire After Crucial Error Leads to Dortmund’s Third Goal
The spotlight is once again on Ronald Araujo after a costly mistake contributed to Borussia Dortmund’s third goal against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.
In the 76th minute, Dortmund’s Julien Duranville raced down the right flank and fired a low cross into the box. Instead of clearing the danger, Araujo mishandled the ball, unintentionally laying it off perfectly for Serhou Guirassy, who made no mistake in slotting it past the keeper to make it 3-1.
Fans were quick to react on social media, slamming the Uruguayan defender for the error and joking that he had “assisted” the goal. It was another frustrating moment in a tough night for Barcelona’s back line — and one that could have cost them dearly if not for their strong first-leg advantage.
