Hello and welcome to Eurosport UK's live minute-bu-minute coverage of Granada v Barcelona at the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium.

Barca will be pleased to have got the three points, but it was a far from convincing performance. Real Madrid will have been looking on with interest.

Dani Benitez is off for a second yellow. He's caught offside and kicks the ball away out of anger. Unbelievably stupid.

Villa with a terrible pass to Messi. All he needed was to play square and Messi would have been in.

Mollo is in a good position, but his low cross is weak and cut out early. It's all Granada now though...

Nyon is gives a yellow for an off the ball trip on David Villa. Quite possibly accidental.

Granada with a bit of pressure now with only five minutes to go. Caution to the wind time...

Messi's lay off ti Iniesta is just behind him. He would have been clear through there.

The move again just doesn't come off. Messi's little ball inside is again claimed by Roberto before Cuenca can get there.

Barca sub: Xavi is replaced by Keita.

Messi's effort is deflected wide for a corner. The keeper rather dramatically flies across his goal even though it was nowhere near going in.

Roberto clears early to try to start the counter, but it falls straight to a Barca defender.

Messi almost gets in, but Roberto does well to race off his line and claim just in time.

Xavi unleashes a fierce shot that's not too far wide, though Roebrto wasn't worried.

Geijo doesn't read his partner's intentions and stays rooted to the spot and the pass comes over the top. It'll be worrying for Barca that they're not putting this game to bed.

Geijo for a second looks to be in, but the linesman flags for offside. It looked like he was level though.

Cuenca goes down in the area, but it's really not a foul. He was just out hustled there.

Geijo does well and wins a throw for Granada high up the pitch. Barca straight back on the ball though.

Villa is caught offside when he really shouldn't be. He has hours to look across the line and keep himself on.

Busquets is brought down by Rico when on the charge, Barca immediately get play restarted.

Barca substitution: Cesc is replaced by Iniesta.
