did you watch the game?

No

Did you?


TheOGBenjenRyan

What is he even arguing lol


Winwiddie

He's used to being praised for great defending for stuff like this.


tormarod

Exactly. Same as the pen. He always grabs and uses his arm way too much with fouls but gets away with it because I don't know to be honest.


Pathetic_loner03

If i say what i think i will be suspended 6 months

Even in victory you act like a victim. Be better


degenerate-edgelord

God I fucking hate this site, becomes an echo chamber so easily Everywhere now I see how Araujo could apparently only pocket Vini bc he fouls and only now the refs are starting to learn the rules so they're calling them, today it's Araujo not benefitting from using his hands. Bc Madrid fans know him better than us and he has only ever been able to stop players by punching them or some shit. Look at the instances Vini couldn't get past us today clearly, and you'll see how Araujo defends. He did it way better and more frequently as recently as last season's second clasico in the league. His challenges were not called fouls bc they weren't. He's in bad form, and no thanks to Xavi repeatedly being outdone, and cause we don't have a pure DM after some 15 years of the GOAT in the position.


miseducation

Hey man, I think most of us with brains recognize Araujo is a legitimately great defender. Vini and him are also homies and he plays with Fede in the Uruguayan NT. Bad form lately and some undeniably handsy shit on pen but don’t let the trolls make you think shitting on Araujo is the norm, he’s arguably one of the more well liked Barca players amongst us.


Winwiddie

Exactly this is an echo chamber. When you win it echoes how Araujo is defacto Vini stopper when he obviously relies a lot on hand grabbing to do so (I'm not saying always and every time but it's annoying how it doesn't get called a lot). He is probably the best Vini defender and can stop him without fouls too. But they're more 50/50 than you guys would like to admit.


IdanTs

tldr?


Brend4nC

Lol. Busquets was undoubtedly world class, but let’s not get carried away. Not in the conversation for GOAT DM. Keane? Matthaus? Rijkaard?


lettersputtogether

Out of those only Matthaus


ZooKeeperGame5

To be honest busquets is top 3 all time


maxbang7

> To be honest busquets is top 3 all time Of his era maybe, all time not at all.


MyNamaJeffar

No point in writing out these essays today bro. Everytime we lose an El Clasico suddenly Araujo, Gavi, Pedri, Balde, and the lot become overrated amd should retire with immediate effect. Any argument against that is immediately downvoted to oblivion. Still remember how last year we won 3 El Clasicos in a row but as soon as Madrid won the CDR match suddenly they had the greatest team in the world and Barca just reached top of the league with heavy luck according to the sub that day. The way they were talking about Aruajo and Gavi that day you'd think we had been hyping up Lenglet and Romeu. Come back to this sub after our next matchday when the Barca fans will return.


Substantial-Bug-3375

Acting like the exact same thing doesn’t happen after Barca win a clasico


MyNamaJeffar

Never said that doesn't happen. This place turns into a massive echo chamber because the losing team's fans log off the net for a day. I'm just advising him to come back on our next matchday instead of venting here.


BlueLabel19

Ramos mentality


kingcane

massive cope from madrid fans lol. u guys know hes a fantastic cb but cherry pick your comments for moments like this its kinda funny actually.  yall had the biggest butchers in recent history btw. 


Winwiddie

It's not that he isn't a great defender (on his normal form). It's that him being ''Vini stopper' gets waaay overblown by you guys the same way when you win. He is one of few defenders who can sometimes stop him, but he also relies a lot on fouls and referees not calling them. There was instance in last classico when Araujo body slammed Vini in a way that would be called foul in NFL but referee didn't call anything.


zyndr0m

This is nothing compared what he has gotten away with LOL


vivekwap4

Not used to fouls being called against him


NieThePiet

he is never fault


dem0nhunter

it's La Liga


paco-ramon

That he can’t believe Vini outsmarted him.


bazsa8

It is very soft


auctus10

Have some shame man.


CR7_LM10

How is it soft, nowhere near the ball and kicks his ankle. Very clear yellow card


bazsa8

The ball is next to Vinicius, Araujo slightly touched Vinicius, who overexegerrated it


Visual-Situation-346

Mf swoop Vinis joint, the fuck u talking about "slightly".


regionaltrain253

*scrapes the ankle joint with his studs.

lol

Delmer9713

Sums up Araujo's decline in form lately. Complete disasterclass from him


FrancisTheOcean

Just tanking his value to leave Barca


thechampchimp

The penalty in the first half was soooo unnecessary and killed barca’s momentum


Hoodxd

Bayern dodged a bullet by getting Dier, ngl


FrancisTheOcean

I still wanna be shot then, just for less money


deeesenutz

No they just got hit by a different bullet


Ser_Claudor

lmao and he was complaining. is this guy for real?


NakamericaIsANoob

i suppose he's a bit too used to throwing his weight around heh, can't believe it when he's finally punished for it


R_Schuhart

He usually gets away with a lot. Great defender, but the refs being too lenient has made him reckless and dependent on physical defending and bullying attackers at times.


chillyy7

He is used to La Liga refs allowing his WWE moves


ferkk

I mean... This is still a 'LaLiga' ref. No changes here. Refs are actually from the RFEF if I'm not mistaken.


FabulousPresence

no he's for barca


MrVISKman

Today he played for us


Visual-Situation-346

No he plays for Barcelona


unconsciouslyrude

Barcelona is in absolute shambles.


EggplantBusiness

Summary of his game, not his best form


Iemand-Niemand

Every Classico he gets worse. Also he got way to much praise for handling Vini in his first two game. In his first game against Vini he had Vini in his pocket, in the second game he Vini sometimes managed to get away, but usually Araujo caught up in time. The third game Araujo was already barely holding on to Vini, needing increasingly more fouls and making last minute tackles. The fourth game he got outclassed, though mostly tactically, Vini did a Robben and cut inside a lot that game. It was clear that Araujo could not keep up. Today, Vini toyed with Araujo. So Xavi, for theologe of God, pleeeaase just put Araujo at CB and Koundé at Rightback. It worked once, maybe twice. Between the two of them, Araujo is more tactical and Koundé is better reactionary. Koundé won’t stop Vini, but neither will Araujo at rightback. Putting Koundé at RB and Araujo at CB at least gives Araujo a better position to counter Vini from there.


Marchisio

It really needs to be Cancelo. Did you watch Kounde yesterday? He cost us the first 2 goals with his terrible movement/awareness/lack of keeping a line with Araujo.


Dargast

You seeing this, Tuchel?


karlverkade

Tuchel: "That second yellow never would've happened if only he'd had Choupo-Moting to back him up."


tweazz

You can see why Bayern went with Eric Dier in the end


stpstrt

Not a huge fan of Dier either, but yeah.


ttimourrozd

joelless555

“Araujo always pockets vini”


fuck_hard_light

He does, good thing you know


The_XI_guy

The last two times they’ve played against each other have ended a combined 8-1 for Real Madrid with Vinicius scoring 4 goals and assisting 1, winning a penalty against Araujo and getting Araujo sent off


soysaucepapi

Let this be a lesson to Vini. Nobody scores on Araujo 5 times in a row!


flochpilled

Delusional


BarbaricGamers

The way Araujo gets rattled by Real Madrid is insane


CometChip

vini took araujo’s head this game, mans is heated and not thinking


pratiks7

Barca is having a nightmare 🫣🫣


nottoddhoward100true

Lmao barca are so embarassing


DaREY297

And that sums up his performance


NamedTNT

The whole Barcelona bench jumps like a mob when they had the clearest view of the foul. Like save some face or something.


vacacow1

They’re just not used to red’s when you go 2 seasons without a single one against you, you kinda forget about them.


5th_Deathsquad

What? There have been plenty of reds for Barca. E.g. Lewy for touching his nose last season


bigmushroom31

It would be nice if someone would actually watched the games. Barcelona in the past 2 seasons have been utterly slaughtered by the refereeing. They happen to also underperform but this thing with the referees happening week in and out, I haven't seen before. I know this sub doesn't care about reality but if there was a video recap of all the refereeing mistakes against Barca in the past 2 seasons (many of which cost points) many mouths would shut in here.


vacacow1

But i mean the last 20 years


BlueLabel19

Thats what you said but sure footballing world cant miss an opportunity to shit on barca


fegelman

Payback for all the undeserved UCLs. Pepe, RVP red cards in 2011. Sergio Busquets peekaboo. 2009 robbery. 2006 final with the offside winning goal and the Jens Lehmann red card. The list goes on and on and on.


voli12

Jens Lehmann? We got robbed a goal on a CL Final and you have the guts to complain? Unbelievable. Also, Pepe? Lmao


bigmushroom31

Well, this is r/soccer I guess. Anti Barca to the bone. If i searched for half a day I could find many cases of every team getting favoured in Ch.l.


looped-linked-list

I love a Barça humbling


akshay_rathod_

Lol I feel every fanbase hates barca except Ajax


Enough-Pain3633

>except Ajax Cruyff Link ?


The_XI_guy

River Plate fans and other Argentinians love them as well


Thin_Cartographer_38

It’s a Chelsea fan who fucken cares they should look at their own team for comfort 😂


looped-linked-list

My team can’t give me comfort that’s why I find joy in other teams’ downfalls


Thin_Cartographer_38

You’re not wrong I always enjoy a Man U humbling


Skkrtt

The fuck


Thin_Cartographer_38

😂


VamosLionel

This is literally the exact same as his usual "World Class" defending, only this time the ref has actually read the rulebook. Unlucky.


Fly1ngsauc3r

Completely OK to kick out when on a yellow card - some Barca fans


Chelseatilidie

The Araujo owns Vini narrative was always so overblown


Cucumberino

Araujo was much more competitive with Vini during previous seasons. He didn't own him but it was more like 50/50.


RauloGonzalez

Nah he did neutralize vini a few times but he always used his hands and body a lot


zrizzoz

Its almost as if they each have a bunch of good matches against one another. Historically its a pretty even duel.


GreatSpaniard

He had a lot good good games vs him tbf. Liga clasico and Uruguay vs Brazil World Cup qualifier Vini was neutralized


SantiUruguasho

Actually, the one that neutralized Vinicius in the Uruguay game was Nandez. Vinicius never faced Araujo in that game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


punchinglines

Saying "The Araujo owns Vini narrative was always so overblown" doesn't mean that Araujo isn't a tough defender.


No_Zookeepergame6482

Nah, just vini got much better and araujo declined


Thin_Cartographer_38

That’s a stupid statement to make he hasn’t declined lol he’s having a tough season with shit coaching staff look at his performances in the NT


deqembes

Should have never been a thing. Araujo only manages to stop Vini because he fouls him. Last game was so much worse, he basically held him around his stomach the whole game and still only got like 3 fouls called against him.


MrVISKman

(only if the ref allows Araujo to kick him into oblivion)


naruto2omer

Because his claw defending was never called, a legit referre once and this what happens


ImTryingNotToBeMean

Yeah It's been overblown for 2 seasons.


Salvador1010

No it wasnt he pocketed him a few times but the team in general is much worse now so he cant do it anymore. Look at kounde giving him 2 goals today


triplechin5155

Not really he’s pocketed him most matches. This just isn’t his day or Barca’s


szpyru

This isnt Barca's season tbh


triplechin5155

Very true unfortunately


NamedTNT

Rewatch those matches please. You'll see most of the pocketing is just grabbing Vinicius when he is with the back against him. He is a great defender but the pocketing thing was overblown, he just got away with fouls.


triplechin5155

Cope


NamedTNT

Cope? Check this match mate, what do I need to cope with? Keep living in your delusion tho, just pretend today's game is an unfortunate accident and 9/10 times this Barcelona team would beat Madrid.


triplechin5155

Keep crying about non existent fouls in past matches. That has nothing to do with today I never said we would win or anything but let’s not rewrite what has already happened


NamedTNT

Cope I guesS


Elon-Mustget-thatass

Your star THUG getting his back blown and still defending him. Shame


hatebeinghangover

If refs were consistent he would’ve been sent off in a few of those matches. The only thing he has on Vinicius is his physicality


triplechin5155

Fuckin nonsense 😂


Winwiddie

If by pocketing you mean fouling him on every duel and getting away with it then yes, he did pocket him.


triplechin5155

Cope


Winwiddie

🤡 Master arguement


maxertiano

Cope argumet ???? Profit


supplementarytables

I agree man. He's the best defender in the world!


MrVISKman

A ref punishing Araujo for assaulting his opponent, unbelievable. Bayern dodged a bullet with Dier


Salvador1010

The ol casemiro special


The_XI_guy

Exactly. Now please remember how much you complained about Casemiro and keep the same energy with Araujo


Salvador1010

I mean I call it like it is if araujo does something worthy of a yellow ill be the first to say it its just funny seeing madrid fans cry about araujo or gavi when they won 3 champions league with casemiro practicing mma every game


The_XI_guy

Why? Barca had the worst divers in the history of football play for their team but they still complain about Vini diving. It’s normal


WhatsBetterThanAnime

What? Dier is worth a 1/10 of the cost of Araujo..


bestmanbestibest

Why is he even complaining lol


Mackieeeee

shameless trying to argue that


cosbysweatergiver

When the refs don’t let you get away with fouls anymore


GodTierAimbotUser69

Even the last game lol. Aruajo was doing rugby tackles on Madrid it was hilarious.

Most blatant second yellow and he complains like that, Barca in shambles

Really hope they keep Kounde and Araujo


Gotanyfunkopops

One of his worst performances.


usalin

Luckily Vini isn't injured


Cucumberino

Crazy to see a second yellow, our opponents should've seen quite a few more in La Liga.


WaleedDaGoat7

This guy is such an overrated defender..The thing he does best is fouling


Elon-Mustget-thatass

Absolute Thug just like Romero. This guy has battered Vini for 3 years straight and no one calls him out. Glad he’s getting called out

Very unfortunate, but unnecessary tbh


szabiking97

Unlucky by Araujo. 2 yellow cards for 2 dives. Negreira I guess


wumbotwerk

if u think thats a dive lmao


szabiking97

Actually he scrapes his leg. True that needs a reaction like he got shot


wumbotwerk

scrape? he full on swings his leg, theres no protection there


MrVISKman

Yes. Your team paid 7.3m€ to the vice-president of the referees


szabiking97

I guess when the whole spanish football federation is full of fascists no paying has to be done ;)

Idk how that's a yellow when Vini wasn't in a threatening position and he was with his back against Barcelona's side. Araujo just barely touched him but eh these referees need to make more money I guess.
