Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo spoke after his team's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in the Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu, emphasizing the need to hold their heads high and move forward despite the defeat.

Araujo said: "We feel sad, but we have to hold our heads up and continue. We have a long season ahead of us and we need to correct our mistakes."

Regarding the tension that occurred after the final whistle, when Real Madrid players led by Carvajal, Courtois, Camavinga, and Vinicius approached Lamine Yamal, Araujo added: "I won't talk about Lamine today, I'll just say that he is a great professional and we are happy to have him with us. He is mature and knows what he needs to do."

He continued: "I don't know what happened; I just went to separate the players. How Real Madrid dealt with Lamine's statements before the Clasico doesn't concern me; that's their business."

Araujo's statement comes to reaffirm Barcelona's full support for the young team member Lamine Yamal amidst the tense atmosphere after the match, reflecting the professionalism embodied by the young player.
