Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo spoke out after Xavi’s side were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Athletic Club on Wednesday.
The Catalans were beaten 4-2, after extra time, at San Mames as Ernesto Valverde’s side progressed to the semi-finals.
Here’s what Araujo made of it all:
“It’s sad to lose this match and be left out of the Cup. We wanted to fight for this title but I’m left with the fact that we competed with many casualties, many young people... We have to be smarter with one minute left” he told TVE after the game.
