FC Barcelona wins its dress rehearsal for the performance in Munich at FC Cadiz.
But the game is overshadowed by an emergency.
Apparently, word of this doesn't get around everywhere.
Munich – During FC Barcelona's away game at FC Cadiz (4-0) in La Liga, football became secondary from one second to the next on Saturday.
In the 81st minute, all eyes were no longer on the pitch but on the south stand.
Because there was a medical emergency.
A man had suffered a cardiac arrest, as the host later announced.
The good news first: The resuscitation measures were successful, the person concerned was taken to a clinic and treated in the intensive care unit.
On top of that, one person operating a camera fainted, but was immediately treated by medics.
Emergency at Barca game: Cadiz keeper Ledesman gets applause for run with defibrillator
It was also mentioned that Barca provided a second defibrillator.
Cadiz keeper Jeremias Ledesma, who carried the device to the scene of the accident at a run and carried it to the stands, caused a special scene.
For this, the Argentine was celebrated in the stadium and also on social media.
After almost an hour of interruption, the game was brought to an end.
FC Barcelona was not impressed by the circumstances and scored two more goals.
Ansu Fati (86') and Ousmane Dembélé (90'+2') overcame Ledesma like Frenkie de Jong (55') and Robert Lewandowski (65') before them.
The Frenchman circumvented the defense of the bottom of the table and, on top of that, duped the goalkeeper.

Barcelona in Cadiz: DAZN makes fun of Keeper in a tweet
The fact that the latter did not give a good picture should be forgiven by teammates, coaches, officials and fans given the anxious minutes beforehand.
However , the incident in the stands apparently did not reach
the social media department of the broadcasting streaming provider
DAZN .
In a tweet about the 4-0, the colleagues teased about Ledesma: "When your best friend is in the goal with the opponents."
Commentator Uwe Morawe had appropriately classified the scene in the live broadcast according to the situation: "Of course not a happy figure for goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma, but let's do without the big analysis here." A prominent reaction to the Twitter faux pas also left not long in coming.
Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen wrote angrily: "Inappropriate and disrespectful.
For the repeated time!
Shame on you."

DAZN reacts to criticism from ter Stegen: "Not aware of the circumstances that accompanied the game"
DAZN
has since
deleted the original tweet.
Instead, a sorry and explanation followed, which reads: "We sincerely apologize for the inappropriate tweet about the match between Cadiz and Barca, which we have now deleted.
We had only seen and posted the goals and unfortunately we were unaware of the serious circumstances surrounding the game.
We wish the affected person a speedy recovery.”
Some users admitted an error.
So it says in the comments: "It can happen, it shows greatness to apologize." Or: "The most important thing is how you deal with it afterwards.
Was crappy, saw the mistake, forget about it."

Users scold the DAZN tweet: "Don't you even look at your own content?"
But there was also criticism.
"Aren't you even checking your own content?
Surely you can't afford it, can you?" complains a user.
And another asks: "Sorry, but how could you, as a broadcaster who literally showed the game, not see what happened there?"
It should be clear: Keeper Ledesma would have earned his own tweet with his appearance.
But none of the goals conceded.
It's one from his run with the defibrillator in hand.
