Barcelona defeated Cadiz 4-0 to move up to the top of La Liga

Barcelona ascended to the top of La Liga with a 4-0 win against bottom-placed Cadiz on Saturday, despite a medical issue in the stands. Barcelona has 13 points after five games. Champions Real Madrid, who have a spotless record so far, can reclaim first place when they face Real Mallorca on Sunday. Frenkie de Jong opened the scoring at 55 minutes, and Polish striker Robert Lewandowski doubled the lead ten minutes later.

Lewandowski, Barcelona's offseason acquisition, already has six goals in five Liga games. The game was called off in the 82nd minute due to a suspected heart attack in the stands. Barcelona added two more goals late in the game, with Ansu Fati on 86 minutes and Frenchman Ousmane Dembele in stoppage time. "It wasn't a great game, but it was a good one," Xavi stated.
