🔵🔴BARCELONA HE HAS BEEN THE REASON BEHIND OUR POOR SEASON AND EVERYONE IS POINTING FINGERS AT YAMAL
🚨 Barcelona’s season has taken yet another dramatic twist after club legend **Gerard Piqué** unleashed a fiery assessment of the team’s collapse, insisting that neither **Lamine Yamal** nor **Hansi Flick** is to blame for the disastrous run of form. Instead, Piqué pointed to **one specific player** as the true cause of Barcelona’s downfall — and that player is none other than **Ronald Araújo**, whose shocking decline and costly mistakes have left the team spiraling in the Champions League and beyond. The comments have exploded across Spain, sparking massive debate and igniting frustration among fans who have spent weeks accusing the wrong people.
Piqué, known for his brutal honesty and deep connection to the club, made it clear that the rising youngster Yamal has been unfairly criticised and that Flick is doing everything he can with a rebuilding squad. But the legendary defender did not hold back when addressing Araújo’s role in Barcelona’s crisis. According to Piqué, the Uruguayan defender — once hailed as the future leader of the Barça backline — has instead become the key factor behind the team’s collapse. “Yamal or Flick are NOT the problem,” Piqué said sharply. “Fans need to stop pointing fingers at the wrong people. The truth is that our issues come from another direction entirely… Ronald Araújo has been the one responsible for our poor season, and people are ignoring it.”
His comments come in the aftermath of Barcelona’s humiliating **3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League**, a match that turned into a nightmare the moment Araújo made a catastrophic decision that changed everything. Already struggling to contain Chelsea’s attack, Araújo’s reckless challenge earned him a straight red card early in the second half — a moment that shattered Barcelona’s defensive structure and opened the door for Chelsea to dominate. What followed was a complete meltdown, with the Premier League giants scoring freely while a stunned and shaken Barça side stood helpless.
For Piqué and millions of fans watching, that red card wasn’t just a simple mistake. It was symbolic of a much deeper problem — Araújo’s ongoing lack of discipline, lapses in concentration, and inability to remain composed under pressure in big European nights. Barcelona’s Champions League dreams were ripped apart because their supposed defensive leader failed to rise to the moment. “That red card destroyed us,” Piqué said bluntly. “At this level, those moments define everything. It wasn’t just one error — it was a reflection of his entire season.”
Barcelona supporters have been raging ever since the final whistle. Many took to social media to express their anger, accusing Araújo of “abandoning the team,” “losing focus,” and “single-handedly ruining Barça’s European campaign.” Some fans believe he hasn’t looked committed for months and claim his mind is already elsewhere, with rumours circulating that he is pushing for a future move away from Spain. Others argued that his body language and attitude have changed noticeably this season, especially in high-pressure matches where he often looks overwhelmed or overly aggressive.
The growing frustration is now turning into open hostility. Thousands of Barcelona fans have begun calling for Araújo to be benched immediately, while others want the club to consider selling him at the end of the season. They claim that Araújo, once seen as the next great Barça defender, has regressed dramatically — both mentally and technically. The Chelsea disaster, for many, was the final straw. “If he cannot stay calm in the biggest games, he is hurting us,” one fan wrote. Another added, “We lost because of him. Flick and Yamal are not the ones destroying the team — Araújo is.”
Pundits across Spain have also criticised the Uruguayan heavily. Some argued that Flick’s system requires discipline and intelligence from defenders — qualities Araújo has failed to show this season. Others suggested that Araújo’s style, while physically imposing, has become predictable and reckless, forcing Barcelona into constant defensive chaos. One analyst on Spanish television said, “He has become too emotional, too uncontrolled. A defender at this level must think first. Araújo reacts before he thinks — and it’s costing Barcelona everything.”
Inside the club, the tension is growing. Flick was reportedly furious after the Chelsea match, and sources suggest the manager has lost patience with the defender’s lack of composure. With Barcelona’s season on the brink, Flick must now decide whether Araújo can still be trusted in crucial matches. There are even whispers that some players inside the dressing room were angry with Araújo after the Chelsea defeat, believing his mistake was preventable and unforgivable at such a crucial moment.
Yet perhaps the most painful part for Barcelona fans is the fact that Araújo was once one of their most beloved players — a warrior, a leader, a symbol of passion. But passion alone is no longer enough. His careless red card didn’t just cost Barcelona a match; it may have cost them their entire Champions League campaign and damaged the stability of the squad heading into the rest of the season.
What happens next will determine everything. Will Flick bench him? Will the club consider offers in the summer? Will Araújo rebuild his confidence and regain the trust of fans and teammates?
For now, one thing is clear: Gérard Piqué has set the world’s attention directly on Ronald Araújo. And with Barcelona’s season collapsing, the pressure has
never been heavier.
