Néstor Araujo had a discreet performance with Celta de Vigo in the game against Barcelona. The Mexican central defender could not stop Luis Suárez on the second goal of the Charrúa despite being solid in the first half. Even, after 72 minutes, he left for Murillo.
The first half was good for the Mexican, who had nothing to do with the first goal of the Blaugranas in charge of the ‘Gunman’. Araujo was placed in good shape as a central defender from the left and only hesitated in a play in which Lionel Messi could not finish with a goal.
This action began with the pressure of the Argentine in the upper zone. Messi recovered a ball that was left to Rakitic and outlined of left leg, faced the area. Araujo delayed the action, but left the center free despite being outlined inward. Fortunately, the attacker’s shot culé passed over the goal.
In the second half, the defender had good communication with his defensive line and it was until the 70th minute when he suffered again. Now in a heads-up with Luis Suárez, as the Uruguayan played in a good back shape and scored his second goal of the afternoon.
In the first instance, Araujo managed to score the ball, but the rebound was not well controlled by one of his teammates and fortunately Messi entered the area to return the ball to his striker. Suarez, from the back, let the ball in and shot from a half turn.
With a yellow card and the disadvantage on the scoreboard (until that moment), Araujo left the field of play.
