Fcbarcelona

The Uruguayan defender was back in action 103 days after injury and was one of the stand out performers in Alicante.

The Uruguayan revealed that he had agreed with coach Xavi Hernández to play at most 60 minutes of the game before looking ahead to Sunday's 'big, big' game against Atlético Madrid. Included in Uruguay's World Cup squad, Araujo ended up sitting out his country's matches before returning to Barcelona after they were knocked in the group stages. The defender was replaced by Eric Garcia after 60 minutes of the Copa del Rey tie.
