Barcelona crushes Cadiz by four and leads the League temporarily
Barcelona won its fourth victory in the Spanish League this season 2022-23, this time at the expense of its host club Cadiz, with a score of 0-4, in the match that brought the two teams together yesterday, Saturday, at the “Ramon de Carranza” stadium, as part of the activities of the fifth round of the “La Liga”.
During the first half, there were not many chances to score, and the half ended in a goalless draw between the two teams. In this confrontation, coach Xavi preferred to rest the attacking trio, Lewandowski, Frenchman Osman Dembele and Spaniard Pedri, as part of the “rotation” policy to avoid fatigue before facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League, before he had to involve the three players starting from the 56th minute, instead of Dutchman Memphis Depay, Spaniard Ferran Torres and compatriot Gavi, in order to move the team’s front line.
These changes gave a new breath to FC Barcelona, who managed to put pressure on the opponent. Dutchman Frenkie de Jong opened the scoring in this confrontation in the 55th minute, before Poland’s Robert Lewandowski added the second goal for Barcelona after 10 minutes, before Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembele added the third and fourth goals, respectively, in the 86th and 90th minutes of the meeting.
