FC Barcelona played their final game of 2025 this past Sunday, defeating Villarreal 2-0 away from home at Estadio de La Ceramica. The Blaugrana did so without one of their most important players in Pedri, as he missed the game due to mild muscular discomfort, as confirmed by the club. The midfielder picked up the issue during the Copa del Rey tie against CD Guadalajara and was unable to train with the group leading up to the Villarreal trip.

I don't know if there is a wound or not. I can't say anything beyond what Leo means to Barça. That will never change, no matter who is there, no matter when. I don't know if he will return at some point and in what capacity, but the most important thing is what Leo means to Barça.

However, SPORT has come forward to nip those rumours in the bud, claiming that there is no possibility of a hypothetical return of Inigo to Barcelona in the winter. To begin with, Barça fully trust in the recovery of Araujo. The Uruguayan is experiencing a confidence issue after the mistake made against Chelsea, but the Barcelona staff is working to help him through the issue, even as he currently trains individually in the gym.

Sometimes, when I talk to Ronald Araujo I tell him. When he scores goals or when he wins something, I tell him, remember, people have no memory and every three days they are going to demand the same from you, and that's what happens to him, he has to perform every game between an 8 and a 10 because if not the people will already ask him. It's what Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético demand of you. Be at a high level and constantly.

Having Ronald Araujo at the heart of Barcelona's defence when the opposition have players with pace to burn is, frankly, suicidal. The Uruguayan once appeared destined to be a real mainstay for this team, however, he remains a senior player that can't even get the basics right. Club captain he may be, but that also means he has to lead by example.

We're sad, but we have to lift our heads and keep going. We have a long season ahead of us and we have to correct our mistakes,

I hadn't played for a while and was a bit clumsy as a false 9. But I believe I can perform well in any attacking position,

Barcelona's goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been stripped of the captaincy following a dispute related to his lower back surgery and consent for medical data sharing.

Barcelona's decision to sell Ronald Araujo reflects their need to reduce their wage bill while clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich show interest.
