Still in crisis and still weighed down by its defensive problems, FC Barcelona avoided the worst by snatching a draw at home (3-3) on Sunday against Granada, penultimate in Liga, thanks to a double from young Lamine Yamal, 16 years old. , during the 24th day.
The Spanish winger, who had launched the Catalans perfectly by opening the scoring in the 15th minute, saved his team from further humiliation by scoring the equalizing goal a few minutes from time (81st, 3-3). Barça completely collapsed by conceding two goals in the second half (60th, 66th) despite a first equalizer from Lewandowski (63rd).
Xavi's men, who had two victories since the announcement of the Catalan technician's departure at the end of the season due to his team's poor results, nevertheless retained their third place, five points behind Girona (2nd, 56 points). and ten on Real Madrid (1st, 61 points). An important advantage but not yet decisive for the Merengues, 14 days before the end of the championship.
