Another disappointing result for Koeman's men, who failed to win for the third match in a row. Frenkie De Jong got sent-off in the second half.
Another disappointing result for Koeman's men, who failed to win for the third match in a row. Frenkie De Jong got sent-off in the second half.
Ronald Koeman came into the game under pressure following Barcelona's chairman, Joan Laporta, words "If we have to make decisions, we'll make them". The president's words came after Ronald Koeman read an statement and stormed off, instead of having an 'average' press conference.
Unfortunately for Barcelona fans, Koeman's side played a slow and defensive first half, where both teams didn't create a single chance. Both teams were organized defensively and Barcelona dominated the ball, but failed to create anything at the last third of the pitch.
Ter Stegen was undoubtedly the man of the match. His saves helped Barcelona to not drop more points tonight at the Nuevo Mirandilla. During the 46th minute, the German goalkeeper dived to make an spectacular save to stop Negredo's trivela shot from outside the box.
Memphis Depay missed a good chance as he saw Cadiz's goalkeeper, Jeremias Ledesma, save his left-footed shot.
Barcelona had a great start to the second half, but everything changed when Frenkie De Jong got his second yellow for a miss-timed tackle. A controversial tackle that for many shouldn't be a yellow as the Dutchman touches the ball before making contact with Cadiz's player.
Both teams had their best chances during the stoppage time, with Depay firing off after Gerard Pique's great pass.
Busquets got booked in the 96th minute for kicking a ball towards where the match ball was at. Ronald Koeman got sent off after arguing with the referee.
