Ronald Araujo got himself in a bit of trouble this weekend after gesturing to the Espanyol fans after Nico Melamed was sent off. The tensions were high in the derby and Araujo flashed a number two towards the fans, gesturing towards a fate of relegation. Araujo took to social media to respond after the match.
“I want to apologise to all the people of Espanyol for the unfortunate gesture I made tonight,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Everything was the result of the tension experienced during a derby as disputed as today’s.
“I consider myself a person who respects fans and rival clubs and that is why I am not proud of what happened.
