I have multi screen in my house so I watched both. The Barca game was epic mate.
Griezmann can be such a cringe, but as I discussed with you before, he's not just a good footballer but also a very hard worker. You could see that he was trying to find a way to make himself useful, doing whatever he could to adapt his game to a system he didn't seem to fit well. Such a stark contrast to Coutinho, who has to be one of the biggest wastes of money in the history of La Liga (and there's some pretty stiff competition when you think of signings such as Denilson, Kaka or, thus far, Hazard).
Back to Griezmann though, and even though earlier in the season seemed to be missing the target in every possible way, but I always felt that it was a question of him turning a corner.
Has he turned it now? Hard to say, he still needs to sustain this kind of form, but it's definitely picked up and it he appears to have regained some of the confidence of old.
The downside for me is that his upturn is good for Barça, but I am genuinely happy for him that his hard work is finally starting to pay dividends.

I was delighted with Griezmann yesterday. He didn't just show quality and hard work, he showed leadership. Demanding the ball, finally making things happen and then big moments to save Barca when they had to be saved.
I am not totally convinced just yet though. I want to see him do that again and again for Barca in more big games, if he does he will become a legend. Imagine if he bailed Barca out like that against PSG or shut Madrid up come April!
Just watched extended highlights of the game now. Going on that, I'd be equally tempted to award Messi MotM. Doesn't show when you look at the scoresheet, but iy looks like he was at the heart of practically everything Barça created in attack. Griezmann still had to make those two runs for the goals that brought it level, but the passes were sublime.
Got to feel a bit for Granada's 'keeper too. Such a fantastic performance, only to concede that first goal from an unlucky richochet. Almost conceded a second in similar fashion too, with that Messi shot at 2-1 that came off the post and nearly hit him again.
Alba's second to close the scoring was a thing of beauty, btw.
Shout out too to Levante reserve 'keeper Dan Cardenas, who made 12 saves for a clean sheet in their 1-0 e.t. win against Villarreal.

I love Messi more than anyone, the G.O.A.T without debate. But I have to be fair, Griezmann was my MOTM because of the last 5 minutes; those key moments were his bits of quality so I applaud him.
Yeah that GK Aaron was superb, fair play to him. I like Ledesma too from Cadiz and Unai Simon. Ruben Blanco is another top keeper for Vigo.
Are you a Madrid fan?
Yes, but above all I enjoy good football ahead of any tribal alliance.

Tell you what mate, that Fede Valverde is some player isn't he? I went to the 0-0 Clasico in December '19 and Madrid should've won but him and Kroos were superb. I like Mendy too at LB, one of the best in the world to me.
What's happened to Hazard then???
Hazard's been a sick note ever since he joined. Hard to say what he might do for us as he's never had a consistent enough run of games to play himself into a bit of form. His latest injury, as per what I heard on the radio, is due to muscle fatigue. Fack knows how that's possible having played so little.
I don't actually get to watch all that much football nowadays, not since I cancelled my cable tv subscription, so I'm a bit out of touch. From what I have watched though, Madrid on the whole are pretty underwhelming. I agree Valverde needs to play more often. We need his energy in midfield. Casemiro is key too. Can't say I've watched or paid enough attention to Mendy to have a strong opinion either way.

Maybe his muscle resistance was poor because he didn't play for so long and then played a few games all of a sudden.
Casemiro is world class for me. Do you not watch Madrid on streams? I think Atleti will just coast to the title now .Simeone's second league title, fair play to him he's an elite manager.
I used to, but matches are normally at family times, and I'm the only one in the house who likes footy. I'd rather do something with them.
Hard to see Atleti messing it up from this position. Looking at how each team's progressing, if things do go pear-shaped for them at any stage it'll be Barça chasing them down, not Madrid.
