Umtiti gifts Granada for them to go ahead

Barcelona found themselves behind on the scoreboard against a battling Granada because they didn't clear the ball in time. Barca had dominated, but Diego Martínez's team bit when it mattered and took advantage of a very serious mistake to take the lead.

Whose fault? Samuel Umtiti. Although it was something collective because Barca persisted in bringing the ball out from the back and ended up giving it away under pressure from Granada, for whom Kenedy scored.

In the 33rd minute of the match, Ronald Koeman's side tried to play from their box with Ter Stegen and the centre-backs. Neto was a sub, punished by the Dutchman. Granada came forward and cornered Samuel Umtiti, who with two players in front of him tried to pass it short.

The Frenchman made a mistake, because the ball rebounded to Antonio Puertas and Alberto Soro, who was alongside him, controlled it to pass to the six-yard box, where Kenedy got before Ronald Araujo to tap it in.
