It's not been an easy summer for Barcelona, to say the least. Lionel Messi's departure meant a huge blow for the Cules, who felt a serious downgrade without the Argentine star. However, life goes on and they must turn the page soon. On Matchday 5, they'll face Granada aiming to extend their unbeaten run in the 2021-22 La Liga.

The Catalans got off to a positive start - although it would have been much better if they had begun with a perfect record. Ronald Koeman's side defeated Real Sociedad, drew with Athletic Bilbao, and beat Getafe ahead of this game. However, their latest UEFA Champions League setback against Bayern has exposed Barca's weaknesses.

On the other hand, Granada will make the trip to Barcelona hoping to pull off a shock, just like when they did last season, destroying their title aspirations. Still, the team currently coached by Robert Moreno is winless after four matches (D2 L2) and will try to end a two-game losing streak.
