This Sunday, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona meet at the Santiago Bernabéu for the first Clásico of the season. Ahead of this poster counting for the 10th day of La Liga, Lamine Yamal opened hostilities this Thursday on the Kings League stage, by slipping in a small tackle intended for the Madrid club.
For his part, Blaugrana central defender Ronald Araújo opted for a more measured tone, not hesitating to salute the qualities of one of his most formidable opponents: Vinícius Jr. The Uruguayan was keen to reiterate all the respect he has for the Brazilian, whom he considers still just as dangerous despite a less flamboyant last season.
“The important thing is what he does on the pitch”
“I only see what he does on the pitch”the Uruguayan told Barça media.
“He’s a spectacular player. Every time we faced each other, he was very professional. He makes you give the best of yourself. That's what great players do to you. I love players like Vinicius, who are bold and combative.
Faithful to his line of conduct, Araújo does not dwell on the controversies surrounding the will-o'-the-wisp: “Afterwards, what we say off the field… Personally, I don't pay attention to it. The important thing is what he does on the pitch. »
