Araujo Eyes Champions League After Barca's Treble Win
DEFENDER RONALD ARAUJO is confident Barcelona, who clinched a domestic treble by winning the LaLiga, Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup this season, have what it takes to capture the Champions League, a title that has eluded the club for a decade. Thousands joined Barcelona's victory parade from Camp Nou to Arc de Triomf on Friday, a day after the Catalan side secured their 28th Spanish top-flight title with a 2-0 win at local rivals Espanyol. 'Very happy, we deserve it. The team and the people deserve it. Nobody was betting on us at the beginning of the season and we have won three titles,' Uruguay's Araujo told Barca One during the open-bus parade. 'People are excited about this team because there is good raw material. We missed the Champions League, but we will get it.' Barcelona, who were eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals by Inter Milan this month, last won the top European club competition in 2015.

'What we live for': Kounde after winning Barca Copa del Rey final
French defender Kounde struck in extra-time to settle a wild Clasico in Barcelona's favour, with the Catalans triumphing 3-2 in Seville. "I just went to run in every direction (after scoring), to join the fans and my team-mates, this is what we live for, this is why we love football, it brings these sort of emotions," Kounde told Barca One. The defender drilled beyond Thibaut Courtois in the 116th minute to avoid a penalty shoot-out and earn Barca a record-extending 32nd Copa del Rey trophy. "It's a really special evening with my goal," he continued. "I saw (Luka Modric) was going to play that pass, I anticipated it, I saw players to my right but thought I would shoot and it went well." Kounde said Barca battling back from 2-1 down to triumph was proof of their grit. "I feel very happy, proud of the team, we showed character yet again, we showed the team that we are," he continued. "That even in adversity we can still fight, you can see that the whole team is really committed... everyone fights." Barcelona are hoping to win a potential quadruple this season, having won the Spanish Super Cup in January, with La Liga and the Champions League still on the line. "Right now we've done important things, we've recovered the joy for Barcelona fans, I don't think that can be questioned," said president Joan Laporta. © 2025 AFP
