Frenkie de Jong tries to wriggle his way through but Yan Eteki defends well to get the ball away from the Barcelona man as he prepared to shoot.

Nice move from Barcelona as Lionel Messi threads the ball through to Frenkie de Jong, who breaks into the box before crossing to Sergi Roberto but he puts his volley over.

Granada's front three does look capable of causing Barcelona problems when they break and they create half a chance as Roberto Soldado gets forward before playing a good ball into the box but Samuel Umtiti is there again to deal with the danger.

Big chance for Barcelona to get a quick second as Ilaix Moriba finds Antoine Griezmann inside the box, the striker turns and hits a first-time effort towards goal but the ball flies wide.

Will Barcelona make it job done with another goal? Will Granada battle back?

The visitors get the second half up and running.

BRFCRoy: Can't believe all thumbs down the on every Messi comment on #bbcfootball, external so much hate towards the best player ever

Barcelona are in domestic action tonight but there's also Europa League action.

You can follow that here.

Half time and Barcelona are largely comfortable although there were a couple of moments for the visitors towards the end of the half.

Another booking for a Granada player, this time Nehuén Pérez seeing yellow after too much contact on Lionel Messi.

Better from Granada as Roberto Soldado is sent away down the right but Samuel Umtiti gets a crucial block in as Soldado tries to pick out an unmarked Luis Suarez inside the box.

Yan Eteki blazes an effort well over following a rare attack by the visitors.

Barcelona just keep coming forward now as Lionel Messi is onto another ball over the top and this time hooks it back into the middle of the box but Víctor Díaz manages to clear with Ilaix Moriba coming in.

Good chance for Lionel Messi to get his and Barcelona's second as he is sent through by Sergio Busquets but Granada keeper Aaron does really well to flick his leg out and deflect Messi's shot wide of the far post.

Sulaimon Adelekan: Lionel Messi is back to his best and enjoying life in Catalonia again. In this form Barcelona can win their remaining games and win the league title.

The free kick is played short before Lionel Messi plays Sergi Roberto in down the right but his low ball into the area runs all the way through and Granada escape.

Lionel Messi is down injured. He took a heavy knock as he ran into Nehuén Pérez. Looks like nothing more than a cut lip for Messi and he is soon back to his feet.

There's a free kick in range and he doesn't want to pass up the chance to take it.

Lionel Messi's shot just inside the area is blocked as Barcelona continue to pressure the Granada defence.

Barcelona crank things up a notch now they have taken the lead.

The visitors had done so well to contain the attacking threat but that was just great link up play between Antoine Griezmann and Lionel Messi to open Granada up.
