Ronald Araujo might be Barcelona’s best defender this season but the Uruguayan got his inspiration from Paris Saint-Germain star, Sergio Ramos.

The Uruguay international joined the Catalans in 2017 from his hometown club, Boston River for €1.7 million and has seen his value skyrocket to between €30 mil and €50 mil in just a few years at Camp Nou.

According to Football Espana, Araujo was advised by his club's coaches to watch Real Madrid legend, Ramos in order to improve when he first arrived in Spain.

Ramos is regarded as one of the brightest talents to have come out of La Liga, with the former Real Madrid defender winning 22 major honours, including five Spanish league titles and four UEFA Champions League crowns.

Barcelona manager, Xavi Hernandez has referred to Araujo as his most improved player, with the Uruguayan having made 21 appearances this season in all competitions for the Catalans.

Araujo to face Real Madrid

Meanwhile, Araujo should be back in time for when Barcelona takes on Real Madrid in a fortnight in the Copa del Rey semi-final second-leg at Camp Nou, Barca Universal reports.

The defender picked up a red card during La Blaugrana's La Liga victory against Valencia for a last-man tackle and was in danger of missing the Madrid clash in two weeks’ time.

According to the official refereeing report, the foul has been deemed a professional transgression which means the defender will only miss the game against Athletic Club next weekend.

Sports Brief also reported on Barcelona fans believing Araujo 'pocketed' Vinicius Junior again, as the Real Madrid star fired blank against the Catalan giants.

The Uruguayan defender was one of the best performers as La Blaugrana pipped their Spanish arch-nemesis 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The Copa del Rey clash once again reinstated Barcelona’s resurgence under coach Xavi as they seek to win all domestic titles this season.
