Araujo red card made things more difficult and there was no denying the performance reversal that followed the red card and Barcelona were down to 10 men as they had even doubled the aggregate in the opening 10 minutes thanks to Raphinha's goal of the game . But to blame Araujo alone would be unethical as there were some unforeseen actions including the incident that Araujo suffered in this match because even though it was a mistake i don't think it's ethical to blame Araujo entirely for Barcelona defeat in today match .
But on the other hand it is a little unfortunate because after all their momentum is actually very good but because of the mistakes that occurred, their momentum turned to PSG advantage and with this PSG managed to advance to the semi-finals which they had long expected after the previous 2 seasons they always failed in round of 16.
On the contrary, it seems to me that this is Araujo’s personal mistake - such fouls are unacceptable when the game has just begun and in general this is such a foul that the referee has no choice but to send off the player.
Another question is that Barcelona should not have fallen apart so much even when they were left with ten men. I often saw how a team with ten members left competently closed and, playing bus, brought the game to a draw, so by the way, I don’t like games where a player is removed - the game immediately becomes less intense (oddly enough). Barcelona, instead of getting back together, completely fell apart. Before the first game, I considered PSG to be a stronger team and now, based on the results of two games, I think that I was not mistaken.
The situation became unpredictable where decisions had to be made because if Barcola had just let go of course it could have resulted in a goal besides that there were some refereeing decisions that felt burdensome in my opinion that occurred in this match.
Apart from that, I'm not going to blame just one player because Araujo's actions occurred due to some mistakes by the midfielders who also loosened up a little so that even though it was a foul committed by Araujo, all players must take responsibility for it.
Now it's all over for Barcelona as PSG have already secured themselves a place in the semi-finals and we are still watching as the 2 big clubs who are the only representatives from the EPL and La Liga (After Arsenal were eliminated some time ago and Atletico and Barcelona lost yesterday) are battling it out.
The match is still tough for Manchester City for today but indeed Madrid with its fast counter attack is still very troublesome and it could be the difference because seeing from what happened in the second half Madrid's fast counter attack was always stopped with yellow cards for Manchester City players because they knew if it was allowed to continue it would be dangerous for Manchester City so one way to stop Madrid's counter attack was just a foul.
