One of the biggest losers from Brazil's elimination was not Vinícius Júnior, who once again couldn't lead his team to a trophy, nor Endrick, who angered the entire fanbase with his controversial statements, but rather Barcelona, who lost a key player from their squad.

Barcelona faces another complicated situation concerning Ronald Araujo, as not only is his renewal with the Catalan club up in the air, but the Uruguayan defender also suffered a strain in the back of his left thigh, forcing him to leave the field.

The Uruguayan national team issued the following official statement:

"In the quarterfinal match of the 2024 Copa América against Brazil, footballer Ronald Araujo had to be substituted due to a physical issue. Following medical examinations, it was confirmed to be a muscular injury." This news wasn't well received by the team led by Hansi Flick, as Araujo could miss the entire Barcelona preseason and even the first few LaLiga matches.
