Araujo started the game at right-back but asked to be subbed and was replaced by Bernal in the first half of the match in the Spanish capital.

I'm happy with Marcus, he plays well. The last few weeks he's had problems, he's been injured, so it's an opportunity for him. There are other options, Fermín, Gavi. I'm happy that Gavi is at a great level.

You can't play at half intensity. You're three times more likely to get injured. It's the worst thing you can do as a footballer.

"He's already one of the best in the world at that age. He's a unique player, one we all enjoy watching every time he plays. I think Barcelona really notices it when Pedri isn't there."

Against Rayo Vallecano, Cubarsi registered an impressive 8 defensive contributions, including 5 clearances and 3 interceptions, while also winning an aerial duel without losing a single one.
