"I always work to play," he said, a footballer who always has in mind to improve: "I trained a lot during confinement and also learned tactical aspects that I lacked."

"My team-mates and the coach gave me a lot of confidence," Araujo revealed. "Years ago I chose them (Barça) on the Playstation, now I share dressing rooms and matches (with them)," he added. If there's one player that's special to him, that is Luis Suárez. "He's helped me a lot and not only in football matters, and before the game he gave me a hug."
