Cadiz takes the lead thanks to Lucas Perez.
Cadiz, who are currently in the third and final relegation zone, one point from safety,
have a totally different goal in mind. As they try to gain safety and overtake Granada and Mallorca,
who are one point ahead of them, a draw would be a fantastic result, while a win would exceed expectations.

In this game, the home-field advantage should be decidedly in Barcelona’s favor – unlike on April 14, when an estimated 30,000 Eintracht Frankfurt fans bought tickets to help their team to a 3-2 win at the Camp Nou, securing a famous 4-3 aggregate victory and Barcelona’s elimination from the tournament.
The ultimate outcome, as well as the invasion by away fans, sparked great debate and has already resulted in a modification in the club’s ticket policy for European matches.
Barcelona vs. Cadiz updates & highlights
We’re headed to the Camp Nou in the first minute. And there’s little mistake who the majority of the audience is rooting for. Memphis Depay smacked a wide-left warning shot early in the game.
Barcelona isn’t messing around in the third minute. Dembele makes a darting run down the right flank, but Cadiz goalkeeper Ledesma saves his shot and then a rebound attempt. There’s no danger around the next bend.
14th minute: Cadiz break through the Barcelona defense thanks to a fantastic through ball from Lucas Perez to left back Pacho Espino, who made a darting run in behind. Ter Stegen, the Barcelona goalkeeper, is the first to react.
18th minute: Barcelona is in transition, and Dembele wide right throws the ball on his left foot, but his curler to the far corner misses by a long shot.
23rd minute: After a Dembele shot is blocked in the box, Jordi Alba takes a shoot with his right foot(!) but it is too high. The crowd applauded the initiative, but Barcelona has struggled to get past Cadiz’s defense thus far.

27th minute: What a Cadiz counterattack! Sobrino outruns his opponent down the right flank and hands the ball to Lucas Perez, who misses the upper left corner. Sergino Dest was supposed to be called for a push, but there was none.
Dembele has a chance in the 39th minute! Cadiz lose the ball in midfield, and it lands on Dembele’s feet, who sprints into the area and strikes a low shot that Cadiz goalkeeper Ledesma saves. Dembele has led Barcelona’s most effective attacks.
Sergio Busquets receives a YELLOW card for scything Danish player Jens Jonsson from behind in the 42nd minute, stopping a Cadiz counterattack.
