It is of an Antoine Griezmann in "state of grace" that Barça followers speak the day after his incredible evening during the Copa del Rey quarter-final on Wednesday evening.
On the lawn of Granada, the Catalans won 5-3 after extra time after recovering a score from 2-0 to 2-2 in the 88th and 90 + 2.
The world champion striker, served by Messi, first caused the goal against his camp from the goalkeeper of Granada by resuming a bright opening from Messi (88th).
He then sent a very inspired header for the equalizer, also a header from Jordi Alba (90 + 2).
In the 100th minute, with a powerful header, he gave the advantage to Barça, opponents of PSG in the round of 16 of the Champions League, on February 16.
What a Jordi Alba rocket!

His masterpiece of altruism and technique came in the 113th, when after controlling the ball as he entered the box, he served Alba left side with an absolutely magical left-footed outside.
26 goals
The trend of Barça raising its head at the start of the year, led by a great Messi, is confirmed.
Griezmann, meanwhile, now brings his total of goals to 26, equaling Ludovic Giuly's total.
Only Thierry Henry and his 49 achievements during his stay in Catalonia is ahead of him.

At the end of the match, FC Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman, for his part, spoke of PSG by returning to the words of Angel Di Maria at the microphone of Canal + after the success against Nîmes (3-0 ) of Parisians.
The Argentine had confirmed that he hoped to be able to evolve with Messi next season.
Adding: “There are a lot of possibilities.
Koeman considered that sentence "disrespectful".
"For me, it's a lack of respect to talk so much about Leo, while Leo plays for Barça and before a Champions League qualifying round against the Parisians".
