It was Araujo who wore the captain’s armband when Barca met Porto on Tuesday, where the team secured further participation in the Champions League. Yesterday he expressed his joy at being captain and looked optimistically forward to the rest of the season.
It was at an event yesterday that Ronald Araujo looked back on Tuesday’s 2-1 victory over Porto. ‘We are very happy because we achieved the team’s and the club’s first goal, which was to qualify for the round of 16. It was a very important match and we are very happy, but we also have to move on. We have many challenges ahead of us and we are ready for them,’ he said optimistically.
It clearly meant a lot to Araujo to have the role of captain in the match. “It is very special to wear the captain’s fin. It is both an honor and a responsibility,” he continued.
It’s the teammates who have chosen Araujo as one of the team’s four captains, where Sergi Roberto is the first captain, he started on the bench against Porto, while Ter Stegen is out with an injury. Thus it was Araujo who pulled the captain’s armband around his arm in his capacity as third captain.
“It is an honor to be able to replace Sergi Roberto, because he is a great person and a good teammate who knows the club and everyone who is here. I am very happy that I was chosen for this” he concluded.
