The Barça returns to be the Barça

It may be late, but Barça is having fun again and has decided to join LaLiga after winning decisively in Granada by 0-4 and adding their fourth victory away from home and completing a week of nine points with absolute fullness. And the best news for the Catalans is that he achieved it with three circumstances to take into account: an improvised and dangerous defense, with a stellar Messi and with Griezmann joining the cause.

If Barça matches are a lottery, the Blaugrana team doubled down on chaos when circumstances forced Umtiti to start the game five minutes before the start because of Araújo's injury in the warm-up. The Frenchman had never started this season (his last appearance in a starting eleven dates from June) and after three games without playing and having played only 20 minutes in the last six games, he was going to form the axis of the defense alongside Mingueza .

That Barça was going to play on the wire was confirmed after two minutes, when Ter Stegen had to show off a shot from Puertas after a defensive error. The duel had no owner, the ball went from one side to the other with more errors than successes and from one of those errors the Blaugrana triumph began to build.

Soldado poorly cleared a ball that enabled Griezmann, who was long offside, for the Frenchman to advance Koeman's team. A new sensation for Barcelona fans this season.

With the game absolutely crazy and they are a dominator, the Blaugrana team accepted the round-trip duel and got oil from face to face. Where before he lived of order and control, he began to profit from the adventure.

In a counterattack originated after a hand from Busquets that the referee saw a meter and did not consider it punishable, Messi scored the second with his typical left-handed shot and three minutes into the break he put the Blaugrana team 0-3 in the third shot of the Barça on goal by transforming a low foul. The Argentine thus marked the goal that places him leader of the Pichichi alone with eleven goals and broke his curse of 68 fouls without scoring.

Diego Martínez wanted to revolutionize the game in the second half with the entry of three players: Luis Suarez, Milla and Vallejo trying to find an order that would balance a duel that Barça was taking away in the chaos, but with the doubt that Koeman's team is not exactly characterized by its regularity.

Contrary to the Koeman team's service record, Barça came out to play with head knowing how to manage Granada's pressure thanks to a De Jong who seems to have definitely taken a step forward and who found in Griezmann the stiletto he needed to close the game after connecting with Dembélé in a play in which made of '9'.

After the goal that meant 0-4, Koeman retired Messi and De Jong already thinking about the Super Cup. A luxury that the Blaugrana coach had not been able to afford since he arrived on the Camp Nou bench.

Koeman was so calm that he ended the game playing with Riqui, Trincāo, Braithwaite and Pjanic pTo manage the result and challenge them to show you that they deserve more minutes.

The expulsion of Vallejo further softened the final stretch of the game of a Barça that passed the Granada test and who joins LaLiga with goals and smiles.
