Barcelona stayed unbeaten this calendar year and reestablished their noteworthy lead at the highest point of the La Liga table with a hard-battled 2-0 success over Cádiz at the Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday night. Barça played very well for an hour against their intruder side and needed to face the hardship in the last half-hour to keep another clean sheet and get every one of the three places.
Here are the winners and losers from the action on Sunday
Winners
- Ferran Torres: The Spaniard needed a major performance whenever he was allowed the opportunity to begin in this one, and he was just fantastic. Ferran was by a wide margin the best player on the pitch and was a terror for the Cádiz defence the entire night with his forcefulness, decisiveness, spilling and confidence. Ansu Fati appeared to be a lock to begin at Old Trafford on Thursday; however, Ferran has given Xavi Hernández a genuine headache for the clash with Manchester United.
- Frenkie de Jong: The Dutchman managed midfield for the 65 minutes he was on the pitch, and it was anything but a coincidence that Barça lost all control toward the finish of the game and could never again clutch ownership. Frenkie has been allowed the opportunity to play out his number one job, paying little mind to development since the World Cup, and the outcomes are extremely great, and he figures to be one of Barça’s greatest expectations of coming by an outcome at Old Trafford without Gavi and Pedri.
- Andreas Christensen: Another Barça game, another Christensen masterclass in defending. He essentially can’t do anything wrong and is perfect in each decision. The anticipation abilities are the stuff of legends, and the planning of his tackles and elevated challenges is remarkable. Jules Kounde hasn’t been perfect somewhat recently, and Ronald Araujo was out this evening, so Christensen needed to sparkle significantly brighter. What’s more, he did exactly that.
- Sergi Roberto: An objective and help start to tell the story of Roberto’s commanding performance in this one. He battled toward the end like the remainder of the group yet was generally excellent in the initial 70 minutes, assisting De Jong with the development and showing up in the crate to complete plays. It isn’t easy to see him not beginning against United, and he had an ideal, solid appearance that will assist with building his confidence for Thursday.
- Marc-André ter Stegen: Large German-made Huge Saves once more. This is MATS’ vengeance season, and the stop he made on a definite objective by Chris Ramos in the second half will go down as one of his best of the time. What a performance.
- Gavi: Nobody can be Pedri, yet Gavi made a nice impression in this one. He was quick, creative and decisive with his passing and was wherever on the pitch to provide an outlet from his colleagues in the primary half, and his constant running got Barça out of a difficult situation toward the finish of the game. Excellent, by and large, around the game from the teen.
Losers
- Franck Kessie: Extreme night for the Ivorian after a couple of excellent weeks with the help of Sergio Busquets, and maybe losing the cadence of beginning various games straight hurt Kessie when he came off the bench. The midfield self-destructed once he replaced De Jong and was too anxious even to consider attempting and carry the ball forward in counterattacks when the group needed a calm presence to keep ownership and stop Cádiz’s force. Rather Kessie lost simple balls that prompted more attacks for the guests, and his situating passed on a ton to be desired too. Not a disaster using any means, but rather it’ll presumably cost him a beginning spot at Old Trafford with Busquets prone to return and Roberto’s excellent evening.
