Joao Felix scored a great bicycle kick to give Barcelona a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Cadiz in La Liga on Saturday. Manager Xavi Hernandez sat key players before Barcelona’s Champions League quarterfinal match against Paris St. Germain.
Barça now has 70 points, eight behind leaders Real Madrid. Next weekend, they will play Real Madrid in “El Clasico” at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Felix scored the game-winner with a stunning strike in the 37th minute. He jumped on a corner kick rebound and volleyed home between two players.
As of now, Cadiz is 18th in the table with 25 points, three points behind Celta in 17th place and just above the relegation zone.
Once he scored the goal that won the game, the Portuguese player said, “We all work to be starters.” “I want to play because I know I can help the team, just like any other player.”
