'It bothered me': Barcelona's Araujo slams disrespectful Man United player

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has admitted that Alejandro Garnacho’s social media posts following Man United’s victory in the Europa League bothered him.

“Yes [it bothered him], everyone is as they are, but at that time it was no possible to put something like that. I respect everyone and I feel that humility is ahead of everything.

“Everyone expresses themselves as they want, but I prefer to have a lower profile and then show what I do on the pitch.

“That is football, he is very young and there is still a long way to go. You have to go calmly and humbly.”

The two European giants faced off in the play-off rounds of the Europa League knockout stages. The first leg in Spain ended in a 2-2 draw before United got the job done at Old Trafford.

Garnacho, understandably delighted with the result, took to social media and made his feelings clear as he copied Pedri’s celebration.

He captioned the post: “The bigger team won.” The youngster is currently ruled out of action for the foreseeable future with an ankle injury.
