In Barcelona’s first home game at the city’s Olympic Stadium, the defending La Liga champions achieved a 2-0 victory against Cadiz, marking their first win of the season.
While the Nou Camp is under renovation, the Spanish powerhouse is playing at the Olympic Stadium. For much of the game, it seemed that a draw might be the final outcome.
However, the situation changed when Pedri scored late in the match, thanks to an exceptional assist from former Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan. Ferran Torres sealed the win by finding the net in stoppage time.
Barcelona’s campaign began with a 0-0 draw against Getafe in the opening match last week. Sunday’s triumph takes them to four points from two games, placing them just two points behind the early frontrunners, Real Madrid.
A significant milestone was reached during the match as Lamine Yamal, at 16 years and 38 days old, became the youngest player to start a league game for Barcelona.
