Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has hit back at Alejandro Garnacho after the Manchester United winger taunted the Catalans on social media.
United saw off Barcelona in their Europa League playoff round last month, bringing a 2-2 draw back from Camp Nou before beating the Spanish giants 2-1 at Old Trafford. Garnacho came off the bench in both legs, continuing to make an impact as he looks to increase his first-team minutes.
But the young Argentinian garnered plenty of attention after the second leg with a post on social media that saw him replicating Pedri's trademark celebration alongside the caption: "The big team goes through."

United supporters understandably saw the funnier side of the post, but that was seemingly not replicated in Barcelona, with Blaugrana defender Araujo criticising the 18-year-old.
"Yes. Everyone is as they are, but at that time, it should not have been possible to post something like that," Araujo told Infobae when asked if Garnacho's post annoyed him.
"I respect everyone and I feel that humility should be ahead of everything. Everyone expresses themselves as they want, but I prefer to have a lower profile and then show what I do on the pitch.
"This is football, he is very young and there is still a long way to go. You have to proceed calmly and humbly."
