During Barcelona's recent 3-1 comeback victory over Atlético Madrid, a moving moment occurred at the Camp Nou as fans displayed a banner dedicated to defender Ronald Araújo. The banner read: "Anims, Ronald," showing solidarity with the player who was absent from the squad list.

Araújo had proactively requested time off from the club to address significant psychological and mental pressure. This stress reportedly stemmed from the red card he received during the Champions League match against Chelsea. Barcelona fully supported his request, allowing him an indefinite period for psychological recovery, prioritizing his mental health over competitive needs.

The club has offered comprehensive support, including professional psychological assistance. President Joan Laporta, Sporting Director Deco, and coach Hansi Flick all publicly voiced their understanding and support for the Uruguayan center-back.

The sentiment was echoed by rival manager Xabi Alonso, who emphasized the importance of respecting a player's needs. Alonso stated that footballers are "not machines, but people with emotions, responsibilities, and pressure," affirming that taking a break is the right decision if it benefits the player's well-being.
