The French guests received a significant advantage when Uruguayan player Araujo was given a red card in the first half. At 25 years old, Araujo was penalized for fouling Bradley Barcola as he was approaching the goal. Araujo disputed the decision with the referee, but his actions were questioned by both the official and viewers.
The loss of a player due to a red card was seen as a major setback for the team, with one viewer expressing frustration over the situation. Following Araujo’s expulsion, former Blaugrana winger Ousmane Dembele scored for his current team, PSG, only 11 minutes later. At halftime, the two teams were tied (with PSG trailing 4-3 on aggregate).
