Barcelona vs Cádiz

Barcelona's unbeaten run in La Liga, which began in the month of December, came to an end last night against Cadiz, who are battling relegation. Advertisement.

As for Garcia, he, too, has a lot of maturing to do before he can claim a spot at the back. Garcia and Lenglet have received plenty of chances in the recent games with Gerard Pique injured and Ronald Araujo often covering at right-back. Needless to say, his renewal will be a priority for the club. The absence of Gerard Pique came as a bigger dent to Xavi’s plans. They were often overrun by Cadiz’s counter attacks, leaving gaping holes open on the egde of the box. There was a stage in the season where there were barely enough first team players to play a La Liga clash, with most ruled out through injury or COVID. The manager has now lost Pedri to a season ending injury. From being one of the best set up teams in the world, they have returned into a shell of fear. He also created three chances, including one for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the 90th minute. The coming month will be a test of Xavi’s managerial skill. However, with the team’s progress moving in retrograde now, the manager has a worrying period ahead. In the past month, Barcelona have constantly regressed on the field.
