The Cádiz match It served, beyond Barça’s victory, for some players to vindicate themselves. One of them was Joao Félix, who scored a great goal from a bicycle kick and left several flashes of great quality. Despite his good game in the Nuevo Mirandilla, there is a factor that keeps the Portuguese away from starting against PSG next Tuesday.
The forward on loan from Atlético de Madrid scored his tenth goal of the season, equaling his best achievement record in the ranks of the ‘colchonero’ team. Accustomed in recent weeks to his disruptive role, Félix is responding well and in Cádiz he maintained his good line. “I want to play as much as possible”he commented after the game.
Obviously, his aspiration is to be able to start on Wednesday in the quarter-final second leg against PSG. However, there is one factor that leaves you with few options. And that is not the fact that both Raphinha and Lamine were rested against the Andalusian team. Joao’s handicap has more to do with the lineup that Luis Enrique will present in Montjuïc.
PSG, with a dagger in its right
Ashraf Hakimi, suspended in the first leg, will once again occupy the right back of the Parisian team. The former Real Madrid player is one of the best full-backs in the world, especially thanks to his ability to appear again and again in attack. His power is one of PSG’s weapons and Xavi will have to take into account the Moroccan’s additions from the left side of Barça’s attack.
Given such a situation, The presence of Raphinha, always very involved in defensive tasks, becomes even more important.. The Brazilian already left at the Parc des Princes but the fact that Achraf returns places him even more firmly on the left side next Wednesday. It does not even seem that Félix can enter for Lamine, since this would mean moving Raphinha to the right, and everything indicates that Xavi will want the former Leeds player, very aware of Hakimi.
