La Liga: Barcelona 1-0 Granada
La Liga Barcelona have scraped a 1-0 win over 10-man Granada at Camp Nou in Quique Setien first game in charge as once again Lionel Messi came to help.
Stein's influence was clear in the first half in which Barcelona made more than 500 passes, however the Catalans lacked a cutting edge to establish their lead as 17-year old Wunderkind Ansu Fati missed on two golden opportunities.
After the restart Granada gave Barca a real scare when Yan Etki low shot beat Marc-Andre ter Stegen only to bounce back off the post.
Barca were given an advantage when German Sanchez was shown a second yellow card in the 69th minute for a trip on Messi.
And 6 minutes later, Messi himself found the breakthrough for the Blaugrana as he calmly swept the ball home on Arturo Vidal’s exquisite backheel, to let Setien start off his reign with a victory that sent Barca back to the top of La Liga.
The Catalans will head to Ibiza in the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday before facing Valencia at Mestalla next Saturday.
