Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo was delighted after their Copa del Rey win against Real Sociedad.

Barca are into the semifinals after Ousmane Dembele struck for the 1-0 win.

"The game was tough, as we expected, but I'm happy because we're in the semifinals of the cup, which is what we wanted," said Araujo.

"The first half was good, we had a presence up front, but later, when they were left with one man less, they closed up and we didn't have as many spaces."

Araujo acknowledged that "it was difficult for us" and that the team ended up suffering because "they were tight at the back and they had pace, but we were on guard and Ter Stegen helped us, as always".

On match-winner Dembl, he commented that "he destabilises defences, he helps us with goals and he makes very good decisions. The fans also helped us tonight."
