Ronald Araujo's instinctive backheel helped Liverpool equalise in their Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid. The match at Anfield saw the hosts come back to claim a 2-1 victory.
After Marcos Llorente opened the scoring for Atletico, the Merseysiders hit back thanks to Araujo’s clever flick that assisted Dominik Szoboszlai. Alexis Mac Allister then netted the winner in the second half, delivering Andoni Iraola his first win in European competition as Liverpool's manager.
Following the match, Araujo spoke to Movistar about his performance and made an interesting comparison between his experiences at Liverpool and Barcelona.
This was a great moment, a fantastic chance in the box. I was lucky that the ball went through the centre-backs. I’m very happy and pleased to have helped the team.
The Uruguayan defender also noted that Liverpool is as prestigious a club as Barcelona.
This is a great club, just like Barca. You need to give your all here, and there are high expectations on you. I’m happy and working hard. I’m eager to give my all and stay true to myself.
