Ronald Araújo put his team Barcelona in a very difficult situation during the match against Chelsea, after receiving a second yellow card for a late tackle on Marc Cucurella. As a result, the Catalan team played with ten men from the 44th minute in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

The sending off came after a clear mistake by Araújo, who arrived late to the ball, prompting the referee to show a second yellow card followed by a red, putting Barcelona in serious trouble against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The first half ended with Chelsea leading 1-0, after Koundé scored an own goal, which was further compounded by a red card, making the situation even more difficult for the Spanish team as they found themselves trailing and a player down at a crucial moment in the match.

Barcelona was required to put in double the effort in the second half to compensate for being a player down and to turn the result around, in a task that seemed challenging against a team performing strongly on their home ground and in front of their fans.
