A great Chilean goal from Joao Félix gives the victory to a Barça full of substitutes

Wednesday’s game at Paris It left us so speechless, it dazzled us in such an extraordinary way that it was difficult to imagine what Barça was going to appear at Cadiz: whether the dull, mediocre one of almost the entire season or the intelligent, mature and brilliant one of the Princes Parkwhich has unleashed euphoria among their own, the admiration of their opponents and the road to Wembley no longer seems like a utopia so strange Nice afternoon in Cádiz, very good entry.

The night was not important and Barça took it professionally, without trying too hard but without allowing it to get out of hand. All the players applied themselves although no one expected anything “personally exalting.” The Champions It is such a sensational spectacle that it is difficult to return without discouragement to the regional, said with all due respect to Cádiz. Minutes passed without anything happening. Match in uniform, clocking in at the exact time and following a schedule. What I thought Xavi of the evening is that he let even Marcos Alonso y Oriol Romeu.

The locals worked hard although without much success, too many inaccuracies to take advantage of the disinterest that Barça felt in the game. The defenses prevailed over the attacks, which is the same as saying that no one gave one and the clumsiness of the two teams compensated for each other. Among all, he stood out Cubarsi, commanding with insulting authority: it is unusual for a 17-year-old boy to play with so much talent and responsibility, without making mistakes or rushing. Cádiz is rocky, fighting against relegation by taking few risks with the ball.

The boredom contrasted with the certain fact that except Romeo y Alonsoand also Vitor Roque, the others were the ones who will play on Tuesday. Without the demonstration in Paris the tone of the chronicle would be completely the opposite, but it is difficult to get angry with a team that today has a better chance of reaching the final in London than of falling by the wayside. How quickly everything has changed, I am the first one surprised. Despite the surprise, it must be said that what was seen on the field of play was infinitely sad, desolate, until Joao Félix scored with a Chilean first. Beautiful, tight work of art. If the game had ended with the goal, we would all have been very grateful. To Cádiz. Fermin He was able to score the second on the stroke of half-time.

The second half started as sad as the first and with more interruptions due to fatigue. Goal just disallowed against Cádiz due to offside. Xavi’s brother brought in Koundé, Pedri y Lamine Yamal. Víctor Roque left the way he came without having done anything. One day Laporta would have to explain to us why Barça paid for him the third most expensive transfer of a Brazilian, although if Barça wins the Champions League, the tons of populism and demagoguery that will be created around the presidential figure will be so extraordinary that any suspicion past or future will be buried. This is also how History is written: in the banana republics, true, but not only.

The night was getting heavier and heavier and no matter how much time I looked at the clock, time passed faster. How slow everything is when it’s bad. Lamine Yamal tried but without luck. If Barça had lost in Paris, the night would be much darker and the team would be demoralized to the point that Cádiz would have had a draw. But as things stood it was difficult to imagine that the Andalusians were capable of doing anything more than attending with dignity the inexorable events. In any case, Barça’s lack of light to score the second was encouraging the rival and Ter Stegen He had to pull out an all-time hand for his team to continue with the lead on the scoreboard.

Cadiz, Montjuic, London. The League is impossible but winning is a process to not lose your nerve. The Champions League is not very within reach, and on Tuesday PSG can take the mountain, but there is a path and this path has opened up a world that we did not expect.
