Barcelona Fans Attack Uruguayan Defender
Araújo Closes Instagram After Severe Abuse!
Ronald Araújo faced such intense abuse from Barcelona fans that he disabled comments on his Instagram page.
According to reports, many Barcelona fans blame Ronald Araújo for their team’s recent loss against Inter Milan. They flooded the Uruguayan defender’s Instagram with unprecedented insults. After hours of relentless attacks, Araújo could no longer tolerate the abuse and disabled comments.
Araújo did not start in Barcelona’s lineup in Milan. In the second half, Hansi Flick signaled for him to prepare in the 76th minute. Araújo replaced Iñigo Martínez and played for a total of 44 minutes.
Araújo did not perform well, and most analysts agree he was one of Barcelona’s weakest players. The fans’ anger stems from a critical mistake he made. Araújo’s poor marking allowed Inter’s striker to score the equalizer in the dying moments of regulation time, costing Barcelona the victory.
Barcelona fans also hold Araújo responsible for Inter’s winning goal by Frattesi. Araújo failed to properly cover Marcus Thuram, allowing the ball to reach Mehdi Taremi, whose assist led to Frattesi’s decisive goal.
