    I can see it now. Rory wiping his hands on a towel and then hurling the ball for a Luuk de Jong nod on and Martin Braithwaite finish.

    Tez: I cant believe im saying this but Rory Delap would fit in well in this Barca team

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Not from crosses like this they won't. Sent straight into the grasp of Luis Maximiano.

    There is a Granada player down with what looks like cramp. How do you think the home fans feel about that?

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Granada are clinging on. Digging in, frustrating Barca.

    Ronald Koeman sends on Gerard Pique for Sergio Busquets and Riqui Puig for Yusuf Demir.

    Can the pair rescue their side?

    So tame.

    Memphis Depay chips his effort straight into the wall.

    The referee has a little chat with the VAR official to see if it came off an arm. It did, but it was off the elbow of an arm that was right at the side of the defender.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Think Barca have got a bit lucky here. They have a free-kick right on the edge of the box for what looked like a decent challenge. The visiting players clearly agree.

    Memphis Depay wants this.

    Even if Barca do salvage something from this, it won't change anything. They are miles away from being the side they believe themselves to be.

    Agent 3-7: A shadow of the team that were probably the world's best for quite a number of years. Dreadfully poor. Can't see things improving soon with that huge debt either

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Granada boss Robert Moreno knows he can't just dig in and expect to survive. He sends on striker Luis Suarez to give the Barca defence something to think about.

    Max Gonalons is also on.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Sergino Dest goes for a shot instead of a cross this time, but slices horribly wide.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Granada have been entirely on the back foot this half. But they've survived 20 minutes. Just 25 more to go.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Big, big chance!

    A cross from the right is flicked on by Luuk de Jong but fired over the bar by Memphis Depay.

    It is all Barca, but boy are they wasteful.

    Philippe Coutinho has done nothing.

    He is replaced by Pablo Gaviria.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    I'm not sure Granada can cling on here, playing so deep and inviting this pressure.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Big chance!

    Barca rob Granada in their own half and Sergino Dest sets up Memphis Depay for a shot that is blocked. The ball sits up but the Dutch forward is off balance and pokes a tame effort at the keeper.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Luuk de Jong is the main target now. Sergino Dest cuts back and launches a cross at the striker, who is beaten to it by a defender.

    Granada don't have enough of an out-ball, though. It just keeps coming back at them.

    It's relentless.

    Another cross is lobbed into the mixer and this time Ronald Araujo heads it just wide.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    If a side in the Premier League had Luuk de Jong up front and their chief strategy was to swing crosses in his general direction, they'd get all sorts of stick. Barca are just a long-throw expert from being prime Pulis Stoke.

    Barcelona 0-1 Granada

    Luis Maximiano is having a fine game in the Granada goal. He dives forward to punch away a Philippe Coutinho cross into the mixer. Luuk de Jong was sniffing.
