Cádiz, between the need and the negative record against Barça

Cádiz visits Barça at home on Monday at a delicate moment for the yellows. And it is that the cadistas fell back into the relegation zone last day after losing to Betis and Mallorca beating Atlético de Madrid. The calendar of Sergio González’s team is very complicated and Barça is one of the hard rocks that he is going to face. The historical results do not give much hope to the yellows.

The Cadiz club has never beaten Barcelona at home in league competition, the most they have achieved has been two draws. A total of 13 duels have ended with a negative balance for the yellows of zero wins, two draws and thirteen losses. Cadiz has managed to scratch two points in their visits to Barcelona.

It is also noteworthy that the two times that the yellows have scored points at the Camp Nou were on the first occasion that they faced each other in league competition, in the 1977-78 season, and in the last one, last season 2020-21, when Cádiz was crowned as ‘matagigantes’.

Thistorical seasons and results: 1977/78: 1-1; 1981/82: 4-0; 1983/84: 4-1; 1985/86: 1-0; 1986/87: 2-0; 1987/88: 3-1; 1988/89: 3-0; 1989/90: 5-0; 1990/91: 2-0; 1991/92: 4-1; 1992/93: 4-1; 2005/06: 1-0; and 2020/21: 1-1

It will be difficult, but if this team has shown anything, it is that they do not stop fighting. They already did it with Álvaro Cervera and now they do it with Sergio González. The yellows don’t give up a game until the end and that, in some way, gives hope to a crowd that knows that the remainder of the competition will be tough to continue fighting for permanence in LaLiga Santander.
