Barcelona defender Araujo: It was a penalty - at least review it!

Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo accepts Real Madrid deserved their win yesterday.

Araujo admits Real were too strong when playing on the break.

He said: "Hot for the defeat against the biggest rival. The game got out of control when we started playing long, with transitions... They are the best there.

"I always want to win, but yes, I think I played a good match. Playing against Vinicius is always complicated. He is the best one-on-one. It is the first defeat of the season. Last year we already lost the Clásico and we ended up winning the League.

"Camavinga yes, he is more offensive than Mendy, you have to control him more and Vinicius moves more behind my back. And Modric we already know what type of footballer he is."

On his penalty shout, Araujo also said: "It seems like a penalty to me. I try to shoot and he pushes me back. I think it's a penalty, at least review it. Sad because I think it was a clear action and the possible 2-0."
