Ronald Araujo appeared relaxed in an interview, mixing jokes about Barcelona’s rivalry with Real Madrid and serious reflections on the past year. After being reminded that Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona from the Champions League, he responded that the outcome left Atletico with nothing. He explained how modern football has changed defensively, saying that before VAR defenders could get away with minor contact, while now everything is visible. He also addressed a Real Madrid dressing-room incident involving Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, avoiding direct criticism and saying he would ask Valverde on the national team. He added that any trouble with the eternal rival became a talking point at Barcelona before El Clásico.
"“What good did that do? You ended up with nothing,” replied the Barcelona defender."
"“Before VAR, you could step on a forward a little, give a pinch, but now everything is visible,” he joked."
"“I didn't watch Florentino's press conference. Fede is a great professional and a great person. I don't know what happened; I'll ask him on the national team. ”"
"“Did we talk about it at Barça? Of course-we were playing El Clásico next. Any trouble with our eternal rival always works in our favour.”"
