Ronald Araujo
Finally back with FC Barcelona after a long break, Ronald Araujo fired up the Catalan squad in the 2026 Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid.

Drawing on the memory of the last Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu, which they lost to Real Madrid (2-1), the Uruguayan defender urged the locker room to seek revenge. He framed the Super Cup as the perfect opportunity to claim silverware and continue building the club’s storied legacy.

The Catalan outlet reported that his words left a profound impression on the team.
After the final, Pedri confirmed the impact of Araujo’s speech on the locker room’s spirits: “Ronald, both on and off the pitch, gives us so much. His speech before we stepped onto the field fired us up and we were ready to fight.”
