Barcelona star explains goal celebration vs Real Sociedad

Barcelona star Ronald Araújo has on Sunday evening provided an insight into his latest goal celebration.

Defender Araújo, for his part, is fresh off an altogether productive day’s work.

Afforded a starting berth in Barcelona’s La Liga meeting with Real Sociedad, the Uruguayan international chipped in with both a goal and an assist.

Hansi Flick’s troops ultimately ran out 4-0 victors.

After putting his side three goals to the good on the evening, the aforementioned Araújo turned heads courtesy of a new-look celebration.

Some suggested that as much looked almost like a ‘TikTok’ dance, with the subject of the meaning behind his gestures having therefore been put to the 25-year-old post-match.

Araújo, though, went on to reveal that his message was in fact a religious one, explaining:

“I’m a Christian. I believe in God. That celebration was a message for him.”

Owing to their latest three-point haul, Barcelona have reclaimed sole leadership of the La Liga table, leading Atlético Madrid by a solitary point once more.
