they are not even Robert Lewandowskineither Peterneither dembele and at the last minute it fell Christensen. But he played another untouchable: Ronald Araujo (23 years old), facing his fifth Classic against the eternal rival. And the Uruguayan, chasing two defeats and two wins, won again, putting his balance in his favor, leading the defense and playing as a right-back to cover Vinicius Jr.

Third confrontation of Araujo consecutive against Real Madrid in that demarcation, third victory. And they were all away from the Camp Nou: two in Chamartín (0-4 in the League and yesterday) and another in Saudi Arabia, where they won the Super Cup final (1-3).

He Madrid yesterday he was unable to shoot between the three sticks of Marc Ter Stegen’s goal, who was very attentive to all the side centers of Ancelotti’s men.
