Fans think they've worked out the meaning of Ronald Araujo's gesture after red card vs PSG

Ronald Araujo was sent off for Barcelona against PSG.

Fans think they've worked out the meaning of Ronald Araujo's hand gesture after the Barcelona defender was sent off against PSG.

The Uruguay international was shown a straight red card after bringing down Bradley Barcola, with the referee deeming him to have denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Barca had earlier gone 1-0 up on the night, having won 3-2 at Parc des Princes in the first leg.

But 11 minutes after the red card, Ousmane Dembele equalised for the visitors, before Vitinha's early strike in the second half and a brace from Kylian Mbappe turned the tie on its head and gave PSG a 6-4 lead on aggregate.

After Araujo's red card, Fabrizio Romano posted a cryptic post on Twitter in which he posted three zoomed-in screenshots of a gesture the defender performed after the red card.

Romano captioned the post: "Ronald Araujo, not happy with his red card." However, Romano did not explain the meaning of the gesture.

While the gesture left some fans confused, others attempted to work out what it meant in the comments section.

One wrote: "Araujo knows we were robbed!"

Another said: "It's the below - meaning robbed."

A third simply stated: "Robbery."

Another, meanwhile, joked: "He's casting a Merlin type spell."

And a fifth said: "He was trying to turn the time back."

While a sixth questioned: "Is this some sort of magical stuff?"

It was a nightmare evening for Xavi's side, who had harboured hopes of winning the Champions League for the first time in 2015 amid their struggles domestically this season.

But the wait goes on for the Spanish giants, who are still set to be without a manager for next season after Xavi announced he would be leaving the club.

President Joan Laporta has said the Barca icon could stay at the club, and Les Cules are reportedly trying to convince him to reach an agreement.

But a quarter-final exit may further convince Xavi that the time is right to move on, with the club facing an uphill battle to overhaul a eight-point deficit to Real Madrid in La Liga with seven games to play.
