Barcelona fails once more in Montjuïc. This time, once morest Granada, penultimate in the League, they did not go beyond a draw. The Andalusians were ahead on the scoreboard on two occasions. Lamine Yamal, scorer of two goals, scored Barça’s third and avoided defeat. In the first half, Granada already surprised Barcelona with a goal on the stroke of half-time, which they left with a one-goal draw. In the second half, there were some very hectic minutes. Granada took the lead thanks to Pellistri and Lewandowski managed to equalize the match. But a goal from Ignasi Miquel put Barcelona in trouble and finally achieved the final tie. Lamine Yamal, MVP of the match, hopes to improve the situation: “There are still games left, those at the top can win.” Barça coach, Xavi Hernández, regrets the missed opportunities: “We have made mistakes that we cannot allow”

And this was all at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium! A tie that tastes like defeat for a FC Barcelona that distances itself by up to ten points from a Real Madrid that did win this day in a direct duel once morest the second placed, Girona. For its part, Granada gets a well-deserved reward from its visit to Barcelona, but insufficient for its fight to remain in the category when several of the candidates did manage to score this day. See you soon!

98’22” – Full Time!
95’54” – FC Barcelona is looking for it with all its efforts. Raphinha now tried it with a lateral cross that was lightly touched by Robert Lewandowski before Augusto Batalla took it in two halves. The Barça team persists but is not finding a way to pierce the Nasrid network once more. Little time ahead to rescue the three points and not give up on their last options to fight for the title.
94’00” – Gerard Gumbau cannot continue on the field with clear signs of fatigue. The Granada footballer throws himself to the ground and demands the change that ‘Cacique’ Medina has quickly made. Raúl Torrente takes his place.
91’08” – We will have eight minutes added.
89’00” – Substitution Pedro González López Marc Guiu Paz
86’29” – Call Augusto Batalla for help on the field of play. The Argentine goalkeeper is suffering from cramps in his legs. The pace of the match is frenetic in this section, with opportunities alternating for both sides, although it seems to be FC Barcelona who are more likely to score a new goal in their favor.
84’00” – Double change in Granada. Myrto Uzuni retires to be replaced by Matías Arezo at the top of the attack (1/2).
84’00” – Substitution Facundo Pellistri Rebollo Kamil Jan Joźwiak
80’00” – Gol Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana
78’51” – Goooool… CANCELLED TO FC BARCELONA! A free kick from the right side that Ilkay Gündogan serves the area, Jules Koundé touches and Iñigo Martínez shoots it into the net, doing so in an irregular position, slightly ahead of the defense. The Blaugrana’s equalizer does not go up on the scoreboard.
78’00” – Fermín López Martín yellow card
77’00” – Yellow card for Ignasi Miquel for grabbing Jules Koundé when the Frenchman surpassed him in speed and was heading into the area. With this warning, the center back will complete the yellow cycle in the next match.
75’00” – Substitution João Pedro Cavaco Cancelo Raphael Dias Belloli
75’00” – Substitution Óscar Melendo Jiménez José María Callejón Bueno
68’14” – What seven minutes of benches on the grass of the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, where Granada was ahead, but the joy did not last long in a perfect play by FC Barcelona and which the ‘Cacique’ Medina team quickly countered once more, taking advantage a remarkable center from Faitout Maouassa that Ignasi Miquel headed between the three posts. Match not suitable for the faint of heart in Barcelona.
67’00” – Substitution Andreas Bødtker Christensen Fermín López Martín
66’00” – Goal Ignasi Miquel Pons
64’23” – Yellow card for FC Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, for protesting.
