Cádiz's miracle depends on winning at the Bernabéu

Seeks to be released in 2024
Chris Ramos is the player with the most goals for Cádiz this season. He has five goals in 33 games in LaLiga. However, the 27-year-old center forward has not scored yet in this 2024. This reflects the situation that the Cadiz team's forward line is going through. His last goal was on December 17 against CA Osasuna.
Wants one more chance
Arda Guler joined Real Madrid last summer from Turkish club Fenerbahce. However, this season he has been hampered by injuries and has not had continuity in the team. With LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League semifinals in between, Ancelotti will give him another chance to rejoin the team for next season. The 19-year-old Turkish playmaker has played a total of 166 minutes in eight matches this season. He has two goals to his name, the latest in the recent LaLiga match where he scored the winning goal against Real Sociedad.
Trains are running away
Cadiz continues to miss trains and the permanence is further and further away. The Cadiz team has just come from a draw at home against RCD Mallorca. They have now gone three games in a row without a win in LaLiga. Their last victory was on March 29 at home against Granada. Currently, with 26 points, they are second to last, five points behind Celta Vigo, who are in the relegation zone.
