Barcelona found out of the Champions League: It was him again! He lost 2 goals in two pits, fans started spraying

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona and Inter Milan once again played classics. 3-4, Barcelona lost away and was eliminated 6-7 in the total score. After the game, Barcelona fans vented their anger on Araujo: Barcelona's vice captain who came on as a substitute bears an unshirkable responsibility for conceding the last two goals.
Barca's 4231 formation, the starting center back partners are Kubasi and Inigo Martinez, Eric Garcia on the right wing, and young player Martin on the left. In the 76th minute, Barcelona replaced Inigo Martinez with a yellow card. The 26-year-old Araujo came on the bench and wore the captain's armband.
When Rafina scored in the 87th minute, most Barcelona fans would think that there is no suspense to advance to the Champions League final. However, in the 93rd minute, Barcelona conceded the ball:
Inter Milan hit a fast break, Sommer kicked off with a big foot, Inter Milan repeatedly sprinted and fought for the frontcourt, Dumfries passed the cross from the right, Archerby scored with his right foot, and Inter Milan tied 3-3!
Looking at Barcelona's concealment process, Araujo's defense was useless: When Archerbi was inserted, Araujo did not go around, but followed Archerbi, without oppression and pressure, no confrontation and interference, "encircle" Archerbi, and let the latter score.
26-year-old Araujo has better physical fitness, but he is still on the bench and has better physical fitness. However, this time, Araujo was completely at a disadvantage in prediction, positioning and determination. This is not a performance that a top central defender should have. In the 99th minute of overtime, Vlatesi scored the winning goal. Look at Araujo's defense, it's another big pit:
Inter Milan's offense, Turam Jr. took the ball on the right, and Araujo is responsible for marking Inter Milan No. 9. However, Araujo's defense still lacks strength and confrontation, and just follows simply. Turam, Xiao, flicks and moves, turns and changes directions continuously, and dribbling as skilled as Messi and Neymar - the reason is that Araujo does not put enough pressure. Turam turned around easily and sent the triangle in reverse, Taremi made the ball, and Vlatesi scored.
Compared with Inigo Martinez, Araujo's defense seems too weak, soft and lacks hardness. In the Champions League life and death battle, such a posture is obviously unqualified. In the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Araujo also made a low-level mistake and assisted, which once forced Barcelona into a desperate situation.
Araujo's performance is reminiscent of Barcelona vs. Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals last season. Araujola fell to Barcola and was sent off directly with a red card, which eventually led to Barcelona's collapse and was eliminated.
The furious Barcelona fans criticized and accused Araujo on INS:
"Leave Barcelona, both goals are your fault, you have caused Barcelona to get out of the Champions League twice."
"You are the combination of Maguire and Romeu."
In the last two seasons, Araujo has made low-level mistakes in at least three Champions League games. Such performance is not worthy of being the successor of "Puyor".
