Lovely piece of skill from Darwin Machis but his effort from the edge of the area lands straight into the hands of Ter Stegen.

Barcelona need two goals to bring this game to extra-time.

This is a Granada team that only returned to LaLiga from Segunda in 2019. What a couple of years they have had. Europa League last 32 versus Napoli later this month and possibly a Copa del Rey semi-final but there is still a long way to go here!

51

Barcelona had all the early chances but couldn't put them away and now the home side lead 2-0.

What a start to the second half of this game. A long ball over the top into Soldado, he takes a touch and buries it past Ter Stegen.

Kenedy scores for Granada to put the home side ahead. He sneaks in at the back post against the run of play to make it 1-0 to Granada. 

33

Sergi Roberto returns to the Barcelona side after being injured for several weeks, replacing Óscar Mingueza in defence.

Koeman has called upon Sergio Busquets again, as he back from suspension and starts in midfield alongside De Jong.

Granada want to surprise a solid Barça

Granada, sitting eight in the standings with 29 points, haven’t won in their last three league games, while Barcelona are probably in their best moment of the season, as the Catalan powerhouses have won their last four matches since they lost the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Club. Moreover, the Catalan team have won their last five LaLiga games and haven’t been defeated in their last 10.

It's currently 0-0 in tonight's other Copa del Rey quarter-final between Villarreal and Levante, with 70 minutes gone on the clock.

The Granada team arriving at their home ground earlier this evening. 

Barcelona's starting XI:

Sergi Roberto comes back into the eleven and there's another cup start for Trincao. Samuel Umtiti also makes a rare start. Kick-off is just over 45 minutes away.

Granada announce their starting XI!

Messi to take legal action against El Mundo over contract leak

Messi to take legal action against El Mundo over contract leak

Lionel Messi is going to great lengths to bring to justice those responsible for leaking private information about his Barcelona contract to Spanish newspaper El Mundo, which last Sunday published details about the player’s staggering €138 million-a-year deal at Camp Nou.

The Barcelona captain's lawyers are preparing to take legal action against El Mundo. However, for now, his legal team have denied reports by Spanish radio channel RAC1 that they are looking to open proceedings against the five figures who were entrusted with the full details of his contract – former president Josep Maria Bartomeu, former vice-president Jordi Mestre, current CEO Óscar Grau, current legal head Román Gómez Puntí, and current president of the management commission, Carles Tusquets.

Copa del Rey last 16 results

Granada recorded a 6-0 win over Segunda B outfit Navalcarnero in the last 16 of this year's cup competition. In LaLiga, though, Diego Martínez’s side were not able to extend that flurry of goals against Celta Vigo, who managed to hold the Europa League contenders to a goalless stalemate at the weekend.

Barcelona, on the other hand, had to come from one goal down to beat Segunda side Rayo Vallecano, thanks to second half goals from Lionel Messi and Frenkie de Jong.

Granada hoping to cause Copa upset

The Andalusian club have had two of the greatest years in the club's history since getting promoted back to LaLiga in 2019. In their first year back they qualified for the Europa League, where they now looking forward to a last 32 game against Napoli later this month.
