Coach Xavi’s team lost 1-0 on Monday evening in their home game against Cadiz, who are embroiled in a relegation battle. After a goalless first half at Camp Nou, Lucas Perez scored the winning goal for the guests shortly after the break (48th). Cadiz goalie Jeremias Ledesma put in an outstanding performance, destroying numerous Barca chances.
The second-placed Catalans are now 15 points behind Real Madrid in the table. Barca have played one game less than the Madrilenians, who can already cool down the champion’s champagne. Cadiz left the relegation zone with the unexpected three and is 16th with 31 points.
Before the match, supporters of FC Barcelona protested against the club’s management after the great anger at tens of thousands of Frankfurt fans in the Camp Nou in the 2-3 defeat in the Europa League. They called for the resignation of club president Joan Laporta in front of the stadium. The fan association “Nostra Ensenya” had called for the protest. The media estimated the number of participants at 100 to 200. Another ultra group, “Grada d’Animacio”, had even called for a boycott of the encounter. Laporta had already announced that it would only sell personalized tickets for international games in the future.
