The scene is chilling.
And she quickly plunged the Camp Nou into deep silence.
Shortly after the hour mark of the match Barcelona - Celta Vigo counting for the 36th day of La Liga this Tuesday evening, Ronald Araujo collapsed on the lawn following a head to head collision with his teammate Gavi.
On an aerial ball, the central defender hit the head of his young teammate, then returned to his post staggering and grimacing, before collapsing on the ground.

Shortly after, his teammate Eric Garcia and Lago Aspas, the captain of Celta Vigo, gave him first aid, then trainers and an ambulance entered the Camp Nou pitch.

He was replaced by Clément Lenglet in the 68th.
"He suffers from a concussion and has been transferred to hospital for further tests," Barca said in a statement before Catalan club manager Xavi gave reassuring news: "He is fine. .
He will remain in hospital for observation tonight but is expected to return home tomorrow.
He scared us.

Ronald Araujo, 23, extended his contract at FC Barcelona at the end of April until 2026, with an astronomical release clause set at one billion euros.
