The "Camp Nou" stadium will host the match between the Spanish club FC Barcelona and its guest Cádiz, as part of the 24th round of the La Liga football tournament for the current 2020-2021 season.
FC Barcelona will aim for victory today to compete with Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid for the title this season, in a bid to save its season after losing the Spanish Supercup to Athletic Bilbao and facing the possibility of exiting the Copa del Rey following a defeat against Sevilla in the first leg of the semi-final match held at the "Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán" stadium.
Barcelona, led by star Lionel Messi, will seek revenge against Cádiz, who won their previous encounter at home with a score of two goals to one. Last Tuesday, FC Barcelona suffered a heavy defeat against the French club Paris Saint-Germain at "Camp Nou," with a score of four goals to one in the first leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League, putting them at risk of exiting the tournament.
In today’s match, Barcelona will be missing Ansu Fati, Philippe Coutinho, Sergi Roberto, and Ronald Araújo due to injuries. Barcelona's head coach Koeman stated in a press conference ahead of the match: "We are still competing for the three titles; the situation in the Champions League is complex, in the cup we need some luck to come back, and I trust in our capabilities to qualify in the league. We have good dynamics, but it depends on the team in first place."
Koeman continued: "Gerard Piqué feels good; he performed well in his first match against Paris, he is ready for the game. Dest is physically excellent now; he is still 19 and needs to learn and be more aggressive and focused. He is still young and learning; the step from Holland to Barcelona is significant; he needs time and advice, but above all, it depends on the player himself."
It is noteworthy that FC Barcelona is currently in third place in the La Liga standings with 46 points and has a game in hand, while Cádiz is in fifteenth place with 24 points. The match is scheduled for 3 PM Mecca time and will be broadcast on bein sports HD3.
