FC Barcelona has reserved energy against Cádiz in the Nuevo Mirandilla, but has added a golden victory thanks to a goal from Joao Félix that 'keeps them' in the battle for LaLiga a week before the Clásico

The FC Barcelona has had to work more than the account to carry the three points of Cádiz. In a marked party by the rotations, thinking in Paris Saint-Germain, the blaugrana could not show his more conclusive version and finished suffering to win and keep the difference of eight points with the Real Madrid to a week of the big Classical in Santiago Bernabéu.

It was not comfortable the Barça during the party, but achieved to impose with the magic of a Joao Félix that follows showing that it wants to and can be important. Xavi Hernández bet by the massive rotations and left only to two players that can be headlines in the Champions League: Ter Stegen and Pau Cubarsí. It explains, of some way, the reason by which the Barcelona were a stair underneath -with repecto to the last parties- and signed more errors of which accustom.

To the Barça was missing him spark, but appeared Joao Félix

The Cádiz, that is not a simple rival to surpass home, did not leave that the blaugrana combined inside and had a lot of problems to generate occasions of danger in front of Conan. They did not have too much presence in rival field, further of an occasion of Robert Navarro, that opened so that Javi Hernández finalised of face to the area of a Ter Stegen that reacted to time to avoid the goal. Any of the two teams tested , but incomodaban: The gaditanos from the closing 'total' of the spaces and the blaugrana cutting any driving.

The 'problem' was that the Barça did not achieve how do that players like Fermín, Ferran or Vitor Roque appeared and 'connected' of face to the rival area. Joao Félix was the only that tried, in the first compasses, zafarse of his mark and offer something distinct. Although it split like extreme by the left, adopted a much more internal position, collaborating in all the facets of the game, and allowing that Marcos Alonso could go up to the attack constantly by the band.

The Portuguese, that went the most active, went the attendant to rub the lamp to take out an authentic golazo that finish opening the marker when the Barcelona picture more 'desconectado' was. After a corner, Joao Félix aporvechó a refuse inside the area to nail the balloon in the deepest of the network with an extraordinary Chilean to which could not arrive Conan Ledesma. It supposed a wake up for the culés, that had the 2-0 shortly after by means of Fermín López. It commanded a finish crusader, but topó with Chust, that took out the balloon in the line.

'Disorder' in the second half and 'sacudón' necessary

In spite of the good feelings in the last instants of the first part, after the resumption the Catalans were quite uncomfortable and without ideas very clear when they surpassed the half of the field. The gaditanos took advantage of the embarrassment to advance lines and incordiar to a Barça that, little by little, kept hit to his area defending. Juanmi Had the tie with a good finish, but did not cost because it split from position advanced.

Afterwards it was Chust the one who tested luck after a good centre of Alcaraz, but his shot did not find goal. The culés saw forced to react and impose in the duels. Once again it was Joao Félix the one who gave sense to the attack after going of two head offices. It commanded a good centre, but Ferran Torres crashed his shot in Javi Hernández. Instants afterwards was the own Portuguese the one who finished, at first, but left diverted.

Óscar Hernández did not have more remedy that throw of the 'heavy weights' that were in the bench to achieve fluidity in the Barcelona game. They went in Pedri, Koundé and Lamine to contain the balloon and produce more occasions in a night of which remained the feeling that it could complicate anytime. The player of 16 years appeared with a big played individual, but decided badly and his shot went without angle. Ferran and Fermín him recriminaron the pass backwards. The Cádiz had the clearest with a finish from long distance of Samassékou that finish with a paradón of Ter Stegen.

The Barça visits to the Real Madrid to eight points

It has not been the showiest party of the Barça in this season, but have fulfilled and carried a result that can be key considering what avecina in this final stretch of the season. The culés did not have margin of error and, thanks to Joao Félix, added three points of gold. In the horizon is the visit to the Real Madrid, the Sunday, that can be the big key to see if they exist real options to litigate by LaLiga in these last seven days.
