Barcelona beat Cádiz in a shocked Nuevo Mirandilla

Football is meaningless without its fans.

It is they who encourage and suffer, who allow heroes to exist.

They are the ones who weave their lives with the ball as a source of memories.

And of hope.

A fan collapsed in the Nuevo Mirandilla during the Cádiz-Barcelona dispute.

And faced with a situation as harsh as it was unusual, referee

stopped the match in the 81st minute, when the scoreboard showed a momentary 0-2.

The stadium fell silent.

And scenes as human and emotional as they were worrying began to take place.

It was goalkeeper

who ran as fast as he could to throw a defibrillator into the stands.

And it was the midfielder

who had to help a health worker to carry the stretcher with which the affected person could be transferred to the ambulance to the south goal.

All to save a life.

Ronald Araujo

prayed.

Mbaye 's

moistened.

And a camera operator, given the impact of what happened, also had to be treated in the gallery area.

The match resumed 59 minutes later.

With the Cádiz players disconcerted, Barça added two more goals to their account.

Gone was a victory that the azulgrana took almost an hour to channel thanks to

after a great combination between

and

.

Afterwards, there was no more to wait for

to continue hunting butterflies (he has already scored six goals in five league games, nine counting the Champions), but also giving them away (he gave the 0-3 to an

who apologized to the stands).

Dembélé ended the night when no Cádiz player was in the mood to pursue him.

's Cádiz

has neither scored nor scored this season.

Certain.

But the Barça team's visit to the Nuevo Mirandilla came at a dangerous moment, three days before meeting again with Bayern in Munich in a duel where their competitiveness in Europe will be measured.

Something became clear.

Without

,

, Dembélé and, above all, Lewandowski -all of them on the starting bench-, Barcelona is more incoherent in construction and less lucid in attack.

Although

and

, both starters, had no reason to worry - the best defender was

, who also rightly claimed a penalty from

-, many more doubts left the news of the front.

Ferran Torres

lost 14 balls in 57 minutes.

And

, which turned down offers it had in the winter market, went off the rails.

He tried to emulate the outlandish dribbles of

at Wembley 92 and was unhinged to see how his left booty played tricks on him when he only had to push the net.

Xavi had already put his capital pieces to warm up when between

,

and De Jong, his best triumvirate of the first act, they brought down the Cadista resistance.

The Brazilian opened up the defense with an inside pass, the Sevillian took the baseline to assist, and goalkeeper Ledesma, with a slap, could only give the Dutch midfielder the goal.

With the tailwind, eight minutes have passed since Lewandowski took the field and continued his goalscoring routine.

Later, with the supporter lying in the stands, fighting for his life, football was turned off.
