Barca headed into Sunday’s match fresh from a demoralizing defeat to PSG but with renewed impetus after seeing Atletico drop points on Saturday. Here was the chance to cut the gap to six points and reignite hopes of an unlikely title charge.
Instead Barcelona shot themselves in the foot for what feels like the umpteenth time, conceding a late equalizer to hand Cadiz a draw that feels more like a defeat.
The stats tell the story of the game. Barca had 81% possession, 21 shots on goal but only scored once and that came from the penalty spot.
