Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has sent a clear message ahead of what could be a historic El Clásico: the team isn't just playing to win La Liga—they're chasing perfection.
With a victory over Real Madrid potentially sealing the Spanish title, the Catalan giants are on the brink of something special. Even a draw at the Spotify Camp Nou would be enough to crown them champions, but Araujo insists the squad's ambitions reach far beyond the bare minimum.
"We're staying calm in the run-up to the game," the Uruguayan center-back said. "It's a big derby; if we win, we're champions. Even though a draw would be enough, our goal is to reach 100 points. With the team we have, we can do it, and it would be historic."
The 100-point milestone is a rare achievement in any league, reserved for truly dominant campaigns. For Barcelona, hitting that mark would not only underline their superiority this season but also cement their place in La Liga history.
Araujo also opened up about his personal journey, revealing that a recent difficult period has reshaped his perspective on both football and life. "I've learned a lot during this time, which has helped me grow, become more mature, see things differently, and put things into perspective," he explained. "It took a lot of courage to talk about what I was going through, to stop and acknowledge it, so I could work through it. Today I feel like a better person."
Now fully settled and happy at Barcelona, Araujo's renewed focus and resilience are evident. As the team prepares for one of the biggest matches of the season, his calm confidence—and the ambition to make history—could be exactly what drives them over the line.
