It was a game in which Araujo could be seen consistently driving forward with the ball.
Xavi said: "Maybe Araujo is the player who has improved the most since I took over, above all with the ball because he is taking risks ... He is driving (forward) with the ball. Today he was the free man.
"There were times he was the advanced midfielder. He's changed how he plays, which is what we demand, and is gaining weight within the team. Without the ball, he's one of the best in the world, with the ball he had to improve.
"It's fundamental for him and the team."
