In the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Barcelona, which was sitting at home, was reversed by Paris Saint-Germain 1-4, and the aggregate score was 4-6. It was an unacceptable outcome for Barca: they took an early 1-0 lead, only to be ruined by a red card. After the game, Gundogan was very disappointed and criticized Araujo for making mistakes......

Raphinha opened the scoring and Barcelona went 1-0 and led 4-2 on aggregate. It seems that there is no suspense in this Champions League battle. Araujo, however, made a big mistake:

In the 29th minute, while defending Barcora, Araujo pulled people from behind. Balcola went down and the referee sent Araujo off with a straight red card.

This red card became a turning point in the game, and Barcelona was forced to replace Yamal with Inigo Martinez, which affected the attack, momentum, and tactics. Dembele and Vitinha scored, Mbappe scored twice, and Barcelona suffered a 1-4 reversal.

After the match, Gundogan was interviewed. The 33-year-old German superstar was disappointed with the red-dyed Araujo.

"In the face of this situation, you should keep a clear head. You have to make sure you get the ball and if you don't have it then you should give the goalkeeper a chance. For such a long time, 10 to 11 is tantamount to suicide. Gundogan said.

"Everything was under our control, but we let the victory slip away easily. We conceded qualification to Paris, which was the most disappointing thing. Gundogan analyzed.

Both the newspapers "As" and "Marca" believe that Gundogan's remarks are a criticism of Araujo's recklessness. In Gundogan's opinion, as the last man in the defence, if you are not 100% sure, don't foul and the goalkeeper can help. In the worst case, Paris Saint-Germain scored 1 goal, the score was 1-1, and Barcelona still led 4-3 on aggregate and still held the initiative.

10 to 11 for a long time, which is easy to collapse in the Champions League knockout round. Barcelona, which has one less man, dismantles the east wall to make up for the west wall, can only play in the 432 formation, the threat in the front court is weakened, and it is suppressed by Paris, Cancelo, who is strong in attack and weak in defense, is suddenly embarrassed by Dembele, and Mbappe also has more space to sprint.

Although, coach Xavi did not blame Araujo, but the reckless Uruguayan central defender is undoubtedly the number one sinner in Barcelona's Champions League exit, and Araujo's foul made Barcelona's 12.5 million euros Champions League bonus go down the drain, and the 5 million euros home ticket revenue for the Champions League semifinals was lost, and the qualification for the 2025 Club World Cup was gone......
