Result Barcelona vs. Cádiz: Xavi’s Barça team suffers the last defeat at the Camp Nou

by


Cádiz gave one of the biggest surprises of the LaLiga season by beating FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou by 1-0. The three points will provide a huge boost in Cádiz’s fight against relegation to the second division, while complicating Barcelona’s quest to seal a UEFA Champions League place next season.

Cadiz’s winning goal was scored three minutes after half-time when former Arsenal striker Lucas Perez scored a rebound near the goal line after Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen saved consecutive goal attempts.

Barcelona, ​​who played a hit-free first half, put pressure on for the rest of the second half, but Cádiz goalkeeper Jeremías Ledesma stood out whenever he was called into action.

And it was Cádiz who generated the best chances to double their lead in the second half. A failed shot due to an unchecking by Álex Fernández, a save from Barcelona’s Ter Stegen, and Barça’s right post kept Cádiz off the scoreboard. Cádiz also had the best chance in the first half, but Pérez could not take the opportunity from him.

There are now five teams within five points, fighting for the three remaining Champions League spots. La Liga leaders Real Madrid will claim the other, as they move closer to clinching the 2021-22 title with a 15-point lead with just six games left in the season (Barcelona also have one match to go).

At the bottom of the table, Cádiz came off the third and final relegation spot, jumping above Mallorca and Granada. They now find themselves two points above the relegation zone with a home game against Athletic Club on Thursday.

Summary and live updates of Barcelona vs. Cadiz

Final: Barcelona 0, Cadiz 1

minute 94: YELLOW card for Ferran Torres for protests. The frustration overflows for the blaugrana.

90 minute: Seven minutes discount.

minute 89: A wild ending to this game. After an apparently inoffensive center by Iván Alejo almost surprised Ter Stegen, who went to the right post, the Cadiz goalkeeper Ledesma returned to finish off in a volley attempt from close range by Aubameyang.

minute 86: The referee carries a bottle of water to the sidelines. They threw him from the stands. Fans are getting more restless.

minute 85: Another stop by Ledesma! Moments after saving a header from Luuk de Jong from a corner, he saves a shot from Eric Garcia. Ledesma will be the man of the match if the score holds.

minute 82: SUB — Enter Santiago Arzamendia for Raúl Sobrino.

minute 79: Another opportunity for Cádiz! This time Raúl Sobrino puts his shot on goal and it becomes a corner kick. Again, it was Iván Alejo with the race on the right and the cut center.

minute 77: SUBS — Here are Barcelona’s next two moves:

Luuk de Jong -> Frenkie De Jong
Adama Traore -> Clement Lenglet

minute 76: Cádiz almost scored the second in transition! What a mistake by Alex Fernández, who is wide open in the area. But he commands Iván Alejo’s service deflected to the right! He had to get that shot on target at the very least.

minute 69: YELLOW card for Sergino Dest. It is the Cadiz center-back Fali Giménez who cleverly points out the foul and the warning to the American right-back.

minute 68: Cádiz goalkeeper Jeremías Ledesma made two great saves, including a withering shot from Dembélé. The Argentine has been solid so far.

minute 64: SUBS — It’s up to Cádiz to make changes. Iván Alejo enters (by Salvi Sánchez) and Fede San Emeterio also enters (by Jose Mari in midfield).

minute 62: SUB — Barcelona brings in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Memphis Depay at center forward.

minute 61: YELLOW for Luis Hernández from Cádiz. He comes in for a sliding tackle and wins the ball, but lets his studs show in the follow up. That imprudence is punished with a yellow.

minute 58: The crowd is now on the warpath with every challenge from Cadiz. One of them leaves Ferran Torres on the ground after his head hit the grass. Barcelona prepares a sub.

minute 48: Cadiz goal! After a draw by Jordi Alba, a nice cross into the Barça area was headed by Raúl Sobrino, but Ter Stegen stopped his shots twice. But Lucas Pérez was there to hit the ball at home. The advantage of the club that is third from below is surprising.

Watch the goal in the USA:

minute 46: The second half has started and there is already a little more energy and urgency in Barcelona’s movements. There are no substitutes for either team.

Rest: Barcelona 0, Cadiz 0

Half time: This game is developing as many expected. Barcelona takes him to Cádiz, but there are many touches outside Cádiz’s defense, but the home team has a hard time breaking through. His best moments have come through an inspired Ousmane Dembele. Cádiz had the best chance of the game in transition, but former Arsenal player Lucas Pérez was unable to convert with only the goalkeeper to beat. Barcelona will surely want to speed things up in the second half and Cadiz have some dangerous substitutes from the bench. This match is still open.

Minute 42: YELLOW card for Sergio Busquetsthat stops one against Cádiz by mowing Danish midfielder Jens Jonsson in the back.

minute 39: Occasion for Dembélé! Cádiz loses the ball in the center of the field, the ball falls at the feet of Dembélé, who bursts into the area and shoots low, which is stopped by the Cadiz goalkeeper Ledesma. Barcelona’s best attacks have come through Dembélé.

minute 27: What a counterattack from Cádiz! Sobrino beats his defender to the right and puts the ball on a layup for Lucas Pérez, but misses the top left corner. Pérez wants Sergino Dest to be called to push, but there was nothing there.

Watch it in the UK:

Minute 23: First a shot by Dembélé is blocked in the area and then Jordi Alba tries a shot with the right foot (!) but it is high. Applause from the fans for the initiative shown, but Barcelona is having a hard time breaking through so far in the Cadiz defense.

minute 18: Barcelona in transition and Dembélé deflects the ball to the right with his left foot, but his curling iron looking for the farthest corner goes wide.

minute 14: Cádiz got into Barcelona’s baseline with a great through ball from Lucas Pérez to left-back Pacho Espino, who went in from behind. But Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen gets there first.

3rd minute: Without wasting time in Barcelona. Dembélé makes a penetrating run down the right and Cádiz goalkeeper Ledesma saves his shot and then follows up on the rebound. There is no danger around the next corner.

1st minute: We’re going to the Camp Nou. And there’s no question which team the majority of the crowd supports. Memphis Depay with an early warning shot that went wide to the left.

1st minute: A sector of the fans has not shown up to protest what happened in the match against Eintracht Frankfurt.
