Watch: Barcelona 1-2 Granada, Match Review

Barcelona suffer a costly defeat at home to Granada, with now just five games remaining in the La Liga title race. Ronald Koeman elected to rotate his side for this one, but with Barcelona unable to find a second goal, Granada punished our weak defence, and condemned Barca to a devastating home defeat.

Barcelona now longer rely on themselves in La Liga, after a disappointing display against Granada. Despite the brilliance of Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, Barcelona’s fragile defence, and lack of creativity made this one a frustrating watch, in what could be a detrimental defeat.

However, Barcelona must now quickly pick themselves up, as there are still five massive fixtures in La Liga to play for, and the Catalans must know that victory in all five would surely mean a domestic double. Having said that, Ronald Koeman must get his team selections right in each and every one of these remaining fixtures, with a clear necessity to keep using the new blood in this team, and to not revert back to the old ways.
