Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo says he loves playing against Vinicius Jr as he prepares to face Real Madrid again in El Clasico.
Araujo has often been Barcelona’s ‘anti-Vinicius’ plan and he is being tipped to return to the starting XI on Sunday.
Here’s what he’s had to say about El Clasico and Vini Jr.
> ”He always makes you get the best out of yourself, what I see is what he does on the field, he is spectacular,” he said.
>
> “Great players do that. I personally love players like Vinicius and I love to face them.”
Araujo has also leapt to the defence of Lamine Yamal amid talk Barcelona are worried about some aspects of his behaviour.
> “He is very professional. We talk a lot off the field, but the most important thing is what he does on the pitch, when he trains, and he is top-notch,” he added.
>
> “In the end, he has pressure because he’s the best in the world, but he’s a spectacular guy, with a great family, and that’s the most important thing,” he told Movistar
Barcelona will look to Yamal for inspiration at the Santiago Bernabeu, while Araujo may well have a key role to play - particularly as Jules Kounde appears to be a doubt.
