VIDEO: That was bad luck! Araújo headed the ball past his goalkeeper to put Real Madrid ahead in El Clásico

Barcelona’s match with Real Madrid is a nice end to the weekend. The fans at the stadium saw the first goal in the 9th minute, but it was the visitors who rejoiced as Ronald Araújo scored his own goal with a header.

Barcelona went into the game with the knowledge that they were leading the table by 9 points, if they had won El Clásico they would have virtually secured the league title. Conversely, a loss would put Real back in the game.

Both teams were thus aware of the great importance of a competition watched by fans from all corners of the world. And they could see the opening goal in the 9th minute.

It was scored by the favourite of the match, but not into the net he had planned. Twenty-four-year-old stopper Ronald Araújo scored his own goal.

The Uruguayan full-back was unlucky enough to knock the ball into his own net after Vinícius Jr. centred the ball in front of goal for goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The Brazilian, who was the last of the White Ballet to touch the ball, did not indulge in a massive celebration in front of the Blaugranas’ goal afterwards.

It was also an important goal for Real given that they have already faced Barcelona twice this year, losing 1: 3 and 0: 1 at their stadium.

So will he be able to rob the Camp Nou? We’ll have to wait and see, but the current performance is setting the stage for drama until the very end.
