Last season, FC Barcelona thought it had done the hardest against Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-final of the Champions League. Winners 3 goals to 2 in the first leg, at the Parc des Princes, the Catalans had opened the scoring in the return match. Unfortunately for them, the expulsion of Ronald Araujo in the first period changed the course of the meeting and Paris finally qualified for the semi-finals by winning 4 goals at 1. And this red card was difficult to digest for the Uruguayan defender.

“Of course, you feel important in these matches. Even if I am 25 years old, I already have some experience. It shows in big matches, I have never hidden myself. The PSG disaster has arrived, but I like these matches. Let's see how I feel. At the beginning, that (its red card) haunted me, especially during the rest of the season. But over time, I forgot, it's a past. A clean table. There is a new story to write. Large players are mentally strong and know how to overcome these situations. I consider myself one of them. I do not deny that after that, in liga, I was not at the level that I usually, but I must continue. I still have a lot to do, build and give for this club ”he told Sport.
