"Araujo also received a message of support from Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso who was asked about the Uruguayan's leave of absence at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday. "You have to respect the feelings and needs of the players," he told reporters. "They're not machines, they're people, and in all contexts there are a lot of demands and responsibilities. If they've decided that, if it's for the good of the guy, it seems logical to me.""
