As for the Catalan club, with this first loss after seven league victories, it remained on its sixty points in second place in the standings and 15 points away from leaders Real Madrid, but with a postponed match in its sleeve. Barcelona did not take advantage of the fatal loss that Seville received against Real Madrid.

He received a strong blow by his exit from the “Europa League” last week, losing 2-3 in the “Camp Nou” to Frankfurt in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the second European championship in terms of importance, in a match that witnessed controversy regarding the large German public presence at the expense of the home fans.

Barcelona started the match with a pressing attack, relying on the Dutchman Memphis Depay, the Frenchman Ousmane Dembele and Ferran Torres. Strong from outside the area, she climbed the goal (23), before Dembele penetrated with a single effort between Cadiz’s defense and hit a ground ball that Ledesma blocked in two waves (39). Her German Marc-Andre ter Stegen bounced back and Perez followed her into the net (48). Ledesma then shone in blocking a missile shot from Dembele (68), amid the loss of Barcelona players. Xavi tried to return to the match through a number of substitutions, including the introduction of his Gabonese attackers Pierre- Emeric Aubameyang and Dutchman Luuk de Young, but to no avail.
