Barcelona's center-back Ronald Araujo responded to teammate Ilkay Gündogan's criticism regarding the incident that led to his expulsion against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, stating that he has "codes and values" that he believes "must be respected."

"I prefer to keep to myself what I think. I have codes and values that I believe must be respected," Araujo replied when asked about the words of the German international, who, after the match, suggested that it might have been better to give the goalkeeper a chance to stop Barcola's shot or let him score.

The Barcelona player made these statements at the presentation of the 19th edition of the book 'Relatos Solidarios del Deporte', of which he is a sponsor along with Girona player Cristhian Stuani.

The Uruguayan player spoke for the first time about the play that decided the quarterfinals of the Champions League in favor of the Parisian team, which overturned the 2-3 from the first leg with a 1-4 at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. PSG's four goals came after Araujo's expulsion.

"That play is fortuitous; it's 50/50. If the referee doesn't call a foul, nothing happens, but if he does, he has to send me off," reflected the Uruguayan international, who admitted to being "sad" about the Champions League elimination.
