Barcelona controlled the match from start to finish, and take all three points in Setien’s first match in charge – though a 1-0 scoreline doesn’t do the performance justice.
Granada were content to sit deep in their own half and repel every wave of Barca attack; a plan that worked well in the first half.
Pressure mounted on the visitors after the restart however, and they were done no favours by a questionable second yellow to Sanchez in the 69th minute.
The numerical disadvantage proved too much for Martinez’s side to handle, and their resistance was eventually broken thanks to Messi’s cool finish after Vidal’s backheel assist.
Though goals were at a premium, Setien’s side did more than enough to win the game by a larger margin, finishing with just over 80 percent possession and 10 more shots than their opponents. The result sees Barcelona go joint-top with Real Madrid, while Granada stay 10th.
