Araujo surrenders to the Real Madrid player: “We will suffer a lot with him in the coming years”
Barcelona succeeded in widening the gap between it and Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings to 11 points, when it achieved a difficult victory over its host Villarreal, with a clean goal, yesterday, Sunday, at La Ceramica Stadium, in the 21st round.
Barcelona ranks first with 56 points from 21 matches played this season, while Real Madrid ranks second with 45 points from 20 matches, and has a postponed match remaining due to its participation in the Club World Cup.
Barcelona owes credit, in this development, to some players who have shone remarkably in the recent period, among them Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo, who talked about the point difference with Real Madrid and highly praised the Meringue striker.
Araujo said in an interview on the “ Jijantes ” channel on Twitch: “I am happy, because of yesterday’s match. We have come from a difficult time. We are fine in all aspects. I think I’m in the best moment since the coach arrived. We are doing well. The results are good. I am happy”.

Regarding the 11-point difference with Real Madrid, he said: “It makes us happy to add and continue at the top. There is still a lot of league left, nothing won. You have to work humbly. We knew the importance of yesterday’s match. Last season we were 15 or 16 points behind. This distance gives us confidence, we are on a good path.”
He turned to Vinicius Junior, the Real Madrid player who faced him more than once, saying: “He is a great player. I love him. It is very difficult to defend against. I’m happy that things went well for us in the last Super Cup. We will suffer a lot with him in the coming years.”
