Barcelona bounced back from their Liga defeat to
Malaga in routine fashion, with Luis Suarez
impressing in a 3-1 win at Granada.
Luis Suarez’s hot streak continued on Saturday as
the Uruguayan inspired Barcelona’s 3-1 win over
Granada in La Liga.
The former Liverpool star, who netted twice in
Wednesday’s 2-1 UEFA Champions League triumph
at Manchester City, scored his fourth goal in as
many matches and had a hand in two more,
ensuring Barca bounced back from their shock 1-0
defeat to Malaga last weekend.
Suarez played a crucial role in Barca’s first, setting
up Ivan Rakitic for an easy finish with just under
half-an-hour played at Estadio Nuevo Los
Carmenes.
And the pair switched roles at the start of the
second half, as the Croatia playmaker teed up
Suarez to open a two-goal lead.
Granada swiftly responded, as Fran Rico buried a
53rd-minute penalty, but the Catalans killed off any
revival in the 70th minute, Lionel Messi tapping in
for his 27th league goal of the season following
more impressive play by Suarez.
The visitors had no problems holding on to their
lead and they could have made the victory even
more comfortable, but regardless of missing late
chances, the triumph sees Barca move back to
within a point of Real Madrid, who face Villarreal on
Sunday.
