Barcelona might have felt quite disappointed to have failed to pick up three points against Atalanta, with the game eventually ending 2-2.

Despite conceding the two goals, however, Ronald Araujo emerged as a top performer for Barcelona on the night.

Starting in central defence alongside Eric Garcia, the Uruguayan international produced a stellar display at the heart of Barcelona’s defence.

Araujo was even rewarded for his performance with a place in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Week for the final matchday.

Araujo’s pace was crucial in containing an otherwise dynamic Atalanta frontline, while the defender also impressed with his physical dominance at the back.

Not to mention, Araujo also scored Barcelona’s second goal, though he was partly responsible for conceding the equaliser in the 79th minute as well.

Nevertheless, the performance against Atalanta will go a long way in boosting the confidence of the Uruguayan international, who has fallen behind in the pecking order.

The fact that he has been included in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Week makes it even more special for Araujo, who was the only Barcelona player to make the TOTW.

Among the Spanish teams, Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid made the TOTW for his solid display in between the sticks against Brest while Antoine Griezmann’s brace against RB Salzburg earned him a place in the TOTW as well.
