The head coach of the "Barcelona" club, Hansi Flick, defended Ronald Araujo from criticism ahead of the upcoming match against "Espanyol," discussed the contract extension with the Catalan team, and praised "Barca's" pressure in the "El Clasico" match:

"We talked with R. Araujo. We all made mistakes in Milan... Everyone made a mistake at some point, regardless of profession.

We have all been in such difficult situations, but the important thing is how you handle them. That’s why I want to defend the Uruguayan, as he is not the only one who made a mistake."

"My new contract? This is not the time to talk about that, but... Of course, I want to stay with the 'Barcelona' team for another year. I am very happy here."

"When you see a statistic that 'Real' didn't touch the ball on our half of the field for 24 minutes, it says a lot about our pressure.

I found it impressive to see that. We can be proud of it."

26-year-old Ronald Araujo has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists in 23 matches this season.
