Barcelona, with Lionel Messi and Antoine Grizzman scoring multiple goals side by side, defeated Granada and continued their undefeated march in eight games. With 11 goals, Messi took the lead in La Liga.
Barcelona won 4-0 in the 2020-2021 La Liga round 18 expedition against Granada at the Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes in Granada, Spain on the morning of the 10th (Korean time).
Including the recent 3 consecutive wins in 8 matches, 6 draws, 2 losses, and 3rd place Barcelona are 10 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses (34 points). The chase continued.
Barcelona took the lead with Grizzman’s opening goal in the 12th minute. As soon as I caught the ball in the box, it was good to connect with a quick shot. Afterwards, the gap was widened by Messi’s mesh-like performance.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Messi received a pass from Grizzman and attempted a kick with his left foot, scoring a 2-0 run. And in the second half of the 42nd minute, 7 minutes later, he scored victory with a free kick. Instead of crossing over the defensive wall, it quickly kicked low and stabbed the goalkeeper.
Messi, who led the 3-2 victory by scoring two goals in the match against Athletic Bilbao on the 7th, scored two consecutive multi-goals.
In addition, he scored his 11th regular league goal in the 2020-21 season, surpassing Villa Real’s Herard Moreno (10 goals) and Atletico Madrid’s Luis Suarez (9 goals) and jumped to the top of the goal. There were twists and turns, such as public remarks about wanting to leave the team ahead of this season, but Messi was Messi.
In the 18th minute of the second half, Barcelona scored a complete win, widening the gap to 4-0.
