With such a stark difference in strength, a draw is a very good result for Granada. We can see that from the sttistics recorded in this match. Barcelona had almost all the possession, and with stats like that a club deserves a win. But the quick goal that Granada can create in this match is the key for the host to secure at least 1 point from this match.
It's a bit unfortunate when they don't keep the score until the end, but with Brcelona's continuous attack is also very good when they only concede 2 goals.
They can only focus on defense.
Granda parked the boss and frustrated Barcelona with a strong defense line after scoring two goals in the 1st half but thank to a goal from their 2 youngsters Yamal and João Félix that helped them to get the equalizer in the match, Barcelona were favourites to win the game but where very unfortunate to concede 2 goals at the 1st half of the game, however thank goodness they were able to reply the 2 goals before the final whistle.
Well the gap between Barcelona and the league leaders is not very much, but they have to be careful not to drop more points cause Realmadrid are in a very good form and the recovery of Vini Jnr with the combination of Jude Bellingham has made them even more stronger,therefore Barcelona needs to be performing well to keep up with them.
They realized that if they played openly they would be a scoring ground for Barcelona, and I think their strategy was sound and reasonable enough to get a point in this match. The fact is that even though they parked their defense, Granada could also create goals and I think that was planned. They were looking for a quick goal and after that they focused on defense to maintain the score they had created early on.
This is a common strategy when the strengths of the two clubs are quite different. The weaker club will look for a quick goal and after that they will defend completely. Most small clubs do this when they meet strong clubs.
