Will Barcelona’s imperious form in La Liga continue?
Last Sunday night, Pedri was the only scorer, rounding off a stunning team move, as Barça beat Villarreal 1-0 at Estadio de la Cerámica.
This means Xavi’s team remain eight points clear of Real Madrid at the top, having won six La Liga matches on the spin.
At home, in the league, the Blaugrana have conceded just once all season, this a penalty scored by Espanyol on New Years’ Eve.
However, Barcelona aren’t quite as watertight at the back in Europe, with that theme continuing on Thursday evening.
In mid-week, they met Manchester United in the first leg of their Europa League first knockout round tie.
Nevertheless, Raphinha’s late cross evaded everybody, including Robert Lewandowski, and nestled in the bottom corner.
So 2-2 it finished, leaving that tie tantalising poised, ahead of the return meeting at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Before then, will Barça’s amazing La Liga form continue?
Cádiz meantime will be hoping that the league-leaders are distracted by European commitments, as they target a repeat of last April’s historic victory at Camp Nou.
El Submarino Amarillo start the weekend two points and two places clear of the drop zone, following back-to-back home wins.
First, Sergio’s side beat Mallorca 2-0, before defeating Girona by the same scoreline last Friday night; Gonzalo Escalante and Sergi Guardiola on target.
On the road, Cádiz’s only wins this season have come at Valladolid and Valencia, unlikely to add Barça to that select list here.
