Koeman admits Cadiz defeat is ‘giant step backwards’ for Barcelona

It was another poor performance on the road from the Catalan giants who have now lost three of their five away fixtures in La Liga in 2020-21.
Koeman’s men had been in good form ahead of the game with big wins over Dynamo Kiev, Ferencvaros and Osasuna, but there’s no doubt this is a big setback.
“It’s a giant step backwards in our chances of fighting for LaLiga. It’s disappointing, but we have to accept it. A gap of 12 points to a team as strong as Atletico Madrid is a lot.
