Ronald Koeman's side had the opportunity steal top spot in the La Liga match against Granada. Barca didn't entertain any kind of upset from the Andalusian side and, after a few minutes of little rhythm, they put themselves infront.
Griezmann once again showed his fine form, receiving the ball with his back to goal, turning quickly and just at the right time to face up to the opposition goal and play a pass to the left.
Ilaix was in the area but it was Messi who received the pass, waiting a second to find space and striking with his left across goal against an Aaron who couldn't do anything about it.
A 1-0 scoreline in the 23rd minute puts the Catalan one step closer to their much-sought after top spot in the league, which could give them the advantage in the final stages of the season.
The Griezmann-Messi connection appeared once again to make the difference and drive Barca forward. The Frenchman's chemistry with Barca's number 10 keeps on growing.
