A goal by Lucas Perez just after the intermission was the difference in a historic win for the Andalusian side, who notched their first-ever victory at Camp Nou.
The Catalans were sub-par at both ends of the field in that Matchday 32 contest, lacking the precision to get the ball past goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma while also suffering breakdowns on defense.
Ousmane Dembele was the key figure of the first half for Barcelona, making life miserable for Cadiz defender Pacha Espino and creating plenty of havoc in the final third.

The visitors, meanwhile, did little offensively in the first 45 minutes, their only chance coming on a golden counterattack opportunity in which Perez received a precise pass from Ruben Sobrino but botched his chance in the area in the 27th minute. Read More…
