BARCELONA – Barcelona, without time to lick the wounds caused by the 1-4 against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, returns to the League with the clear goal of cutting the disadvantage of Atletico Madrid, which surprisingly defeated this Saturday in the Metropolitan by the East could see reduced its income on the azulgranas to six points.
Having added Simeone’s team only five of the last twelve points after tying against Celta and Levante and having finally lost to the frog team, Barça, which has seven victories on the line and gets a 12-game streak without losing ( ten wins and two draws), he meets again against a Cadiz that was, on December 5, 2020, the last rival that defeated him in the league championship and arrives at the Camp Nou dragging a streak of four consecutive defeats in the tournament.
Barça’s statistics against the yellow team at the Camp Nou are also practically immaculate: out of 12 visits, since February 1978, Cádiz has only been able to start a draw (1-1) in the initial one, having lost the eleven later, the last one (1-0) in 2006 and adding a total of four goals in favor and 34 against.
Ronald Koeman, who will not be able to count on Ronald Araújo yet, who is still out with Sergi Roberto, Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati, warned this Saturday of the importance of the match, still without knowing the result of Atlético, for regaining confidence after the continental beating and considering that his team, yet, has not said the latest news in the league championship.
In this way, and considering that next Tuesday he will play again against Elche, the Dutch coach could tweak his lineup, in which perhaps Gerard Piqué would remain after his reappearance against PSG, but with the clear disposition to face the duel with the maximum own demand and to show the same sensations that in its last party of the competition, when it made goals (5-1) in the Alabès.
