da pixbet： The Spain international struggled on Sunday before straying offside just as the Blaugrana thought they'd scored a late winner
da betsson： Ferran Torres proved to be an unfit replacement for the injured Robert Lewandowski as the Spaniard turned in a forgettable showing on what should have been a memorable night for Barcelona against Granada. Lamine Yamal became La Liga's youngest-ever goalscorer, but a series of scuffed half-chances and poor moments from Ferran — complete with a silly offside to have a goal ruled out in stoppage-time — saw Barca settle for a 2-2 draw.
Nineteenth-placed Granada showed few signs of fear early and struck after just 18 seconds, dispossessing Gavi before crafting an opening for Bryan Zaragoza, who found the net with a driven effort across Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The home side doubled their advantage 29 minutes later, Zaragoza bagging his second with a poked finish.
Yamal bagged his record-breaking goal to get Barca back in it on the cusp of half-time, the teenager ghosting in at the far post to turn home into an open net. From there, Barca threw everything forward in the second half, and they were rewarded for their efforts as Sergi Roberto grabbed the equaliser off the bench, turning in Alejandro Balde's low cross with five minutes remaining in normal time.
Joao Felix had the ball in the net in stoppage-time, but saw his goal disallowed after Ferran interfered in the play while marginally offside — summing up a miserable evening for the striker.
GOAL rates Barcelona's players from Los Carmenes…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Marc-Andre ter Stegen (4/10):
Really should have saved Granada's first, and was too easily sent the wrong way for the second. Saved by the post from conceding a third.
Joao Cancelo (5/10):
Didn't really get involved until late on. Some of his passing was excellent once he started to have an influence.
Jules Kounde (4/10):
Made to look silly by Zaragoza for Granada's second. Forced off with a knee injury on the stroke of half-time.
Andreas Christensen (6/10):
Shaky at the start, but much more effective when Araujo came on.
Alejandro Balde (6/10):
Not his best night, but the delivery for the Barca equaliser was a thing of beauty.

Ilkay Gundogan (5/10):
Missed a tackle entirely in the run up to the Zaragoza opener. Had a good effort denied late on. Functions more effectively with a recognised central presence.
Fermin Lopez (5/10):
Handed a well-deserved full debut, but didn't really deliver on the night. Will have to be on it when called upon again.
Gavi (5/10):
Gave the ball away before Zaragoza's first. Was otherwise lively and heavily involved — without being too effective.

Lamine Yamal (7/10):
Had some difficult moments defensively, but was as dangerous as ever going forward. Finished into an open net to halve the deficit.
Ferran Torres (3/10):
His first touch was lacking, and he didn't offer much as a central presence, either. Entirely unconvincing.
Joao Felix (7/10):
Effective in the first half, and grabbed an assist for Yamal's goal. Should've had a winner, had it not been for Ferran's mistake.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Ronald Araujo (7/10):
Was presumably supposed to be rested, but forced on when Kounde picked up a knock. Almost blasted one in.
Sergi Roberto (7/10):
Scored the equaliser. Did a lot of running, and kept the ball moving.
Oriol Romeu (6/10):
Active when introduced, and passed well.
Xavi (4/10):
Made an interesting call to hand Lopez his full debut, but was otherwise full strength — given a litany of injury problems. His side only really turned it on late, and didn't deserve anything more than a draw.
