For the first time in what feels like forever Barcelona have had a full week of recovery and training in beautiful Catalonia to prepare for their next La Liga match, and now the Blaugrana begin a crucial stretch of games in domestic and continental competition with a home game against Granada on Sunday night.
The Catalans come into this one after a strong performance and a solid victory away to Deportivo Alavés despite a very controversial refereeing decision that forced them to play the final 20 minutes with 10 men, and with other results going their way the Blaugrana might still be alive in the title race.
