I watched this fight only in the first half, my eyes couldn't hold back sleep. because in my country, the game is played at dawn. but that does not mean, I can not be able to know the course of the match until the end. I think Barcelona played quite well, even Xavi implemented a different system with a 3-4-2-1 pattern. unfortunately, every opportunity they had could not be converted very well to make a goal.
In this match, Xavi rotated some of his players. I don't understand, is he trying to experiment or does Xavi really want a pattern like that and rotate some of his players. but what is certain, Barcelona controlled the game with 75% ball possession. they had 24 total shots, 10 shots on target, 8 blocked shots, 6 big chances, 4 missed big chances, 1 hit the post. After all, in this match, Xavi could not give instructions, because he was sent off the field by a red card in the last match.

As for Cadiz, they really play defensively. As for the opportunities they had from counterattacks, they couldn't be put to good use. well, the goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma played very impressively. he made 8 saves, 7 saves in the box, 5 high claims. but unfortunately, in the 82nd minute Gundohan provided a clever assist which was met by Predi which was able to be converted into a goal. Likewise with the second goal, the assist from Lewandowski's header was able to be continued by Ferran Torres and again found the net guarded by Jeremias Ledesma. at least, this victory is a big capital for Barcelona to carry out the next match. even without Raphinha, Xavi was able to implement other options with his system, and it seems the experiment was a success.

Without being accompanied by Xavi in this match, Barcelona managed to come out in this match by winning. It really took extra hard work to break into Cadiz goal because Lewandowksi et al had difficulty scoring goals in the first half due to Cadiz tight defense. In the second half, Barcelona game was getting better controlled and they scored 2 goals in the second half which allowed barcelona to win its first victory in front of its supporters.

This victory will be Barcelona's motivation to look to the next match because they have to be really consistent in every game because their rivals have been impressive in the first two matches this season.

Although Barcelona managed to secure the match victory, I would say that the Barcelona team is currently having serious problems with their finishing. Lewandowski has not been able to perform well in the last season. Besides, Gabi and Pedri are noticing some great mistakes in their game. Hope Javi will fix these issues soon.
