90+2'
FULL-TIME: Granada 1-3 Barcelona. Luis Suarez stars again as Barca close the gap at the top of La Liga to a single point.
90+1'
Can Barcelona add further gloss to the scoreline? The Granada defence continues to creak.
90'
Two minutes of added time signalled.
89'
Mascherano is down after taking a whack.
87'
ANOTHER CHANCE! Pedro drifts in behind the Granada backline and attempts to send a cute chip over Oier. He succeeds, but his effort lacks the power to reach the goal.
86'
CHANCE! Messi blasts at Oier with a fair chunk of goal to aim at. Should probably score.
84'
Messi almost springs the offside trap beautifully, but he strays about half an inch into the illegal zone before the pass is played.
82'
Granada need the full-time whistle. Gaps are appearing. Rafinha is finding a lot of space about 40 yards from goal.
81'
Barca have really found their groove since that penalty incident. Impressive stuff.
80'
CHANCE! Neymar attempts an unorthodox bicycle kick in the penalty area which runs through to Messi at the back stick... He's only gone and scuffed it wide.
78'
That, fellow football fans, is a phenomenal statistic. He hasn't even been that good this afternoon!
76'
More whistles. Suarez is departing the field of play rather slowly. He's been excellent in this second period. Pedro joins the action.
72'
So Messi's goal tally continues to tick along. But that goal was ALL about Suarez. Sorry, but it was ridiculous that he passed.
71'
That should seal it. Granada look beaten. They've put a lot into this encounter.
70'
GOAL! Granada 1-3 Barca. What on earth is Suarez doing? The rejuvenated forward skips past Oier but instead of passing into the empty net, he passes to Messi for a simple tap-in. Not sure I've ever seen selflessness on that level.
68'
Neymar skips past two lunges and is taken down by the third.
67'
Barca appear to have weathered that spell of pressure from the hosts. It's turned a little scrappy.
65'
Here's a nice picture from today's proceedings.
