The Week Gets WORSE as Barca's Get Lose to Granada
Barca's bad week gets worse
Barcelona have endured the week from hell, falling to a spirited Granada just days after being dumped out of the Champions League.
Disastrous week for Barcelona got worse on Saturday night with a 1-0 defeat at Granada that means the chances of retaining the La Liga title are no longer in their own hands. Questions must now be asked about a season which is now in danger of collapsing within seven days.
If Barca fail to win the Copa del Rey final Wednesday against Real Madrid, they are likely to finish without a major title for the first season since 2007-08.
La Liga now looks a distant dream after the defeat in Granada that was almost identical to the Champions League tie lost by the same score at Atletico Madrid last Wednesday
An early strike by Yacine Brahimi gave the hosts the lead and several brilliant saves by goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis, making only his second league appearance for the club, kept Lionel Messi and Co at bay.
