Former Arsenal and West Ham forward Lucas Perez's strike against Barcelona was his fourth career goal against the Spanish giants and the third time he has scored at the Nou Camp
Barcelona suffered a shock home La Liga defeat by relegation-threatened Cadiz to leave leaders Real Madrid closer to clinching the Spanish title.
The visitors began the day in the bottom three but Lucas Perez poked in from close range just after half-time to boost their survival prospects.
This was Barca's first La Liga loss since 4 December, ending a 15-match unbeaten league run.
Second-placed Barca trail Real Madrid by 15 points with seven games left.
Any hopes the Catalans retained of derailing their great rivals' bid for a 35th top-flight title were slim before the visit of Cadiz, but this result will serve as a reminder of the gulf between Spain's dominant teams.
Barca have been resurgent under Xavi since his appointment as manager in November and even thrashed the league leaders 4-0 at the Bernabeu last month.
