-De jong took great responsibility as the game went on and was one of the only players to not get frustrated and try to run head through granada. kept playing the ball fowards with composure 1/?

always searching for a free man. did great at supporting araujo when busquets went off. you could see the uruguayan was knackered mentally and barely played the ball foward. Frenkie went often fullfilling his box to box like in previous games and ending it with a good run for 2/?
the decisive goal,very deserved.
-pedri was the player with the most influence before griezmann scored. He too kept his composure connecting defense and attack also unlike others he didnt lose the ball 2323 times while trying stuff, showed his skills in tight spaces and kept 3/?

The pressing in ET.
-Dembele tried alot and most of it didnt work but he almost scored a screamer and was very important, bc he kept tirelessly sprinting at granada's defense,creating lots of space in the process
-I was very frustrated with alba but boy did he shut me up 5/?

granada had more and more trouble defending his runs behind the line and it seems like that man could play for hours on end without losing his speed. great run for the second goal,wonderful cross for the third and what a screames was that to finish the game
-FINALLY Antoine 6/?
-FINALLY Antoine 6/?
it seems the frenchman has now really arrived in this team. had little influence for most of the game tho as usual his backtracking allowed alba lots of freedom and kept granada from that side of the pitch. Then he shows great effort to not to give up before the first goal 7/?
makes the same run and precisely assists alba for the equalizer, rises above everyone to score the third, and even gets another assist in the end. A Performance of huge importance for his barcelona career, in Basketball they would call this Clutch
-Oh where would this club 8/?

Be without Lionel Messi, i dont even wanna think about it. It was obvioud from the start that messi wasnt going all out in this game sandwiched between important league games and with such a tight schedule this was more than understandable. At around min 60 tho he decided 9/?
that granda had had enogh fun and slowly his influence grew minute by minute. created chances for braithwaite araujo and trincao and in a phase where the whole team seeemed to have lost their cool, messi kept demanding the ball, searching for space and pushing granda further 10/?
and further behind. around the 80th minute he started incorporating dribbles(WHERE TF DID HE TAKE THE ENERGY FROM THIS SHOULDNT BE POSSIBLE)
hit the post with a wonderful effort and created the first 2 goals with trademark messi passes over the defense to get us back 11/?

into the game.dominated the game from then on until he finished it once again dribbling past 2 defenders troubling the gk and leaving the jong with the easy rebound for the winner.
I srslsy hope he doesnt play on the weekend because its a miracle he hasnt gotten injured yet
