Watch: Barcelona 1-1 Granada, Match Review

Barcelona snatch a late point at home to Granada, in what was a bizarre match at the Camp Nou, full of talking points. Ronald Koeman fielded a young Barcelona side, but the Catalans struggled all evening long, and resorted to 54 crosses to try and break Granada down. The match will most likely be one of the last of the Ronald Koeman era.

With doubts heading into kick off, Barcelona couldn’t have got off to a worse possible start after conceding an early headed goal by Domingos Duarte. Barcelona simply never found their rhythm, and drifted massively away from their identity as the 90 minutes passed, with all three of Luuk de Jong, Gerard Piqué and Ronald Araújo all playing upfront in the attempt to get on the end of high balls being swung into the box.

The result all but confirms the inevitable for Ronald Koeman, and it is highly likely that should a replacement be found for the Dutch coach, that he will be moved on within the next few weeks. However, until then, Barcelona have two crucial La Liga fixtures up against Cádiz and Levante, in which six points are absolutely required.
