Cadiz coach Sergio: Stopping Dembele key to Barcelona shock

Cadiz coach Sergio Gonzalez was proud of his players after victory at Barcelona.

The result saw Cadiz move out of the LaLiga dropzone.

Sergio later said: "I think it was a very complete game on our part with a script that suited us perfectly. Our plan was different from theirs. We corrected (Ousmane) Dembélé's change of direction in the second half. After the goal we were able to score 0-2, it was a storm from them on the offensive plane, but the team has been well in defence and the goalkeeper has been exceptional. This is great for us.

"Every game I always try to be involved, isolate myself from everything, hit the changes, in the refreshments. We left with a bad feeling against Betis. We have demanded more of ourselves this week. Today it has turned out as we had established. It is not easy to win at the Camp Nou against this rival. We had our plan and it turned out great, we also had the chance to score another goal.

"This victory has to be gasoline for us. We have prepared for it with great enthusiasm, a lot of energy, with the desire to do damage. Everything has gone perfectly. We have been very good with and without the ball, we were also successful in both areas Winning on a stage like this has to strengthen us."
