Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo appeared in press statements after the 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad in La Liga's 26th round, in a match held at the Montjuïc Stadium.

The Uruguayan defender said: "We delivered a great performance, and we are happy. We knew the importance of winning to return to the top, I am happy with what the team did, and happy with the victory and the lead."

He added: "I am happy with my goal and helping the team. I returned after a very long injury, and it wasn't easy for me. I am completely calm, I deal with things step by step. I have great confidence in myself, in my abilities, and in what I can offer the team when I am in good shape. I am happy to play and help the team."

Regarding the secret of his celebration, he said: "Well, I am a Christian and I believe a lot in God, and this celebration was a message..."

He concluded: "The coach manages the team very well. I think it is important to have a competitive team like this because to win the title, you need a large number of players, not just 11 or 12, but also strong substitutes. The coach manages that very well, everyone who enters the field does so with confidence and happiness, and knows they can help the team, and I am happy about that."
