• Classification This is the League

Barcelona is down.

Eliminated from the Europa League and without having yet completed his qualification for the Champions League, he was stripped naked by Cádiz against a Camp Nou that went from the invasion of the Germans to dangerous disaffection.

Xavi Hernández

's

men have not lost in the League since last December.

Suddenly, with motivation at rock bottom, everything costs a world.

[0-1: Narration and statistics]

Without a neck, with his head nailed to a herculean trunk and a stony gaze,

Pacha Espino

is one of those footballers who make an art of intimidation.

Hence, his duel on the shore against

Dembélé

, a disconcerting guy who doesn't care about everything, will arouse great interest.

It was only necessary to attend to the first action to see how that would end.

Dembélé mocked how many times he wanted Espino.

He either threw a pipe at her, or twisted her patience with a booty jog, or he started running like a greyhound.

And Espino, come to snort, come to launch like the bull to the cape.

However, and there the daily drama, Dembélé could not finish anything that he started.

Sometimes he failed, other times his teammates did.

Thorn was not smiling.

He never does.

But he survived and breathed.

So did

Sergio González

, one of those coaches who manage scarcity like no one else.

Risking permanence at the Camp Nou, Sergio saw fit to leave a good number of starters on the bench.

What difference does it make.

The people of Cadiz, who had to take good note of Eintracht's counterattacks in their assault, executed a furious transition that

Gavi

, overtaken in the race by

Sobrino

, could not stop.

The responsibility of crowning the action fell on a reliable striker like

Lucas Pérez

.

But

Sergiño Dest

, the starter this time ahead of

Alves

, hit the striker just enough for him to finish off nothing.

He would have his revalidation.

bad memphis

That was nothing more than a serious warning to a discouraged, nervous and poorly positioned Barcelona.

Substitute

Aubameyang

,

Memphis

started as a striker.

She intervened a lot, clarified little.

Xavi tried to correct himself by sending the Dutchman to the left wing so that

Ferran Torres

, who had been annulled by the youngster

Raúl Parra

, could move into the center of the attack.

Before checking if Xavi's tactical intervention would have any result, Cádiz did, this time, catch the opening goal.

The episode that occurred in the Barcelona area was inexcusable.

Up to three times Cádiz finished off in the small area until Lucas Pérez scored at will after Sobrino's double attempt.

Neither

Eric García nor Lenglet

, a pair of central defenders in the absence of the suspended

Araujo and the injured Piqué

, were even able to bother the rival attackers.

Eric watched, Lenglet left behind.

While

Jordi Alba

, who was the one who had lost the ball that caused the goal, preferred not to approach there.

Barcelona, ​​with the entire second half to play and suffering greatly in the creation of

Pedri's loss -Frenkie de Jong

had a gloomy night-, then prepared to embark on a descent into the hells of Cadiz.

The double defensive line of four and five players fell back even further towards the lair defended by a titanic

Conan Ledesma

.

And the interruptions and the anger gained weight.

Óscar

Hernández

, Xavi's assistant and brother, was shown a yellow card by the referee after he disregarded

Fali

's spin on Ferran Torres.

Sergio Busquets

was also hunted

.

Luis Hernández

, to the anger of the azulgrana, did see the yellow card.

De Jong Resource

While Sergio rescued his capitostes from the bench, Xavi piled up five forwards.

But who the Camp Nou eagerly claimed was

Luuk de Jong

, who just appeared on the pitch was about to catch the tie with his head.

Ledesma, who came to everything, built a wall at his door.

The azulgrana were screaming at Ledesma's slaps, which made life impossible for Eric García and Aubameyang.

But up to four times Cádiz forgave the 0-2, with

Álex Fernández,

Sobrino and the insistent Alejo one inch away from closing the duel.

Barcelona, ​​despite playing with a much tougher defeat, showed a decline started, what things, after 0-4 at the Bernabéu.

Xavi is still looking for a remedy.
