Granada vs Barcelona: The Catalans seek the Champions League

Barcelona could be in the Champions League zone after this round. The Catalans have been going for too long to get there and stumble on some Granada. Now is the time to get theirs.

With all due respect to Granada, the boys are ranked 13th, certainly not Barcelona's level. Although you have to give them credit, they were in the relegation zone not so long ago. Yes, Granada have been showing decent results recently, but sooner or later, the fairy tale must come to an end. Someone has to put this team in their place. And it looks like it will be Barcelona.

I'll point out right away that Barcelona have many injured players, and that could be a factor against them. Yes, it's not easy to beat 18-year-olds, but even with that in mind, Barça have a decent squad. The other day, the Catalans beat a modest Linares in the Spanish Cup, but I think it will give them some confidence. They could use it now. One win, and you're probably in the Champions League zone. Barcelona have been out of the top four for too long. It's about time they reminded themselves.

The best option is to play for a Barcelona win. I don't think we're in for a flurry of goals. Xavi's team will likely get a comfortable draw victory, 1-0 or 2-0. Yes, that's the style Barcelona are trying to play at the moment.
