No matter how many games Madrid wins, FC Barcelona is not giving up on the League. Yesterday, they secured a victory in Cádiz (0-1) thanks to a goal from Joao Félix, who led a team with eight changes from the previous lineup Xavi Hernández used in Paris.
The Portuguese striker scored a fantastic overhead kick goal to break the deadlock before halftime. It was a corner kick play, and despite defenders trying to stop him, Joao Félix managed to pull off an acrobatic shot to find the back of Ledesma's net. This once again showcased the talent of the forward on loan from Atlético de Madrid, who has been instrumental in recent games with assists and goals.
Although he plays a supporting role, Joao is a player who stands out. Whether it's against Porto in the Champions League, Atlético, Cádiz, or elsewhere, Joao has already scored 10 goals this season, with seven in the League and three in Europe, along with six assists across all competitions. In the match against Cádiz, he came close to scoring more, including a near miss from a cross by Ferran and a shot that hit the post.
Throughout the game, Joao was active on the left side, dribbling past defenders and creating opportunities. He set up Ferran Torres for a chance, but the shot was blocked by a Cádiz defender. After a strong performance in Cádiz, Joao Félix is proving his worth at a crucial point in the season, giving Xavi plenty to think about when selecting the team to face PSG.
At this level, Félix has become a fantastic asset for the Barça attack, where the Terrassa coach is gaining strength. The quality of the Portuguese can be a decisive weapon both in the starting lineup and when coming off the bench. And, for now, with humility and a good attitude.
