Granada – FC Barcelona: Match Schedule, TV Broadcast, and Probable Lineups for LaLiga F Fixture
As Barcelona faces Granada today, they have the first opportunity to clinch the LaLiga F title for the ninth time in their history, the fifth consecutive time. With only five matchdays left in the championship, Jonatan Giráldez’s squad holds a twelve-point lead over their closest rival, Real Madrid, and also leads in goal difference, putting them on the verge of securing the championship.
If Barcelona fails to secure victory against Granada, they could still become champions mathematically on Sunday if Real Madrid fails to win their derby against Madrid CFF. In this scenario, Barcelona would need Real Madrid to achieve the same result as their match against Granada.
This match marks the second title opportunity in what could be a historic season. Barcelona has already lifted the Spanish Super Cup after a resounding victory over Levante in the final (7-0). Additionally, they are set to compete in two other official finals this May: the Copa de la Reina against Real Sociedad on Saturday, May 18 (19:00 CET), and the Champions League final against Olympique Lyon on Saturday, May 25 (18:00 CET). Securing victories in these two finals would make them the first club to achieve a quadruple of titles.
Giráldez’s team arrives for this crucial match following their epic comeback against Chelsea in the Champions League semifinals (2-2) and a dominant win against Madrid CFF (8-0). Granada also enters the match in good form, having won three of their last five games, securing a four-point cushion over the relegation zone.
Furthermore, Barcelona approaches this decisive phase of the season with nearly an empty injury list, a stark contrast to their challenging season in terms of injuries. With only Mapi León unavailable, Giráldez can distribute efforts among the squad in the remaining three matches before the upcoming finals. The Vigo-born coach has taken the entire squad for this match, fostering unity and anticipation of a potential title celebration.
Considering the remaining two matchdays, where Barcelona will face Athletic at the Johan Cruyff Stadium and visit Eibar, Giráldez might field a relatively unchanged lineup against Granada and save rotations for the subsequent matches if the league title is secured.
In the last matchday against Madrid CFF, Giráldez rested players who had played more minutes in the battle at Stamford Bridge. Most of them are expected to start against Granada.
Probable Lineups:
Granada: Sandra Estévez; Cristina Postigo, Marta, Isabel Álvarez, Esther Martín-Pozuelo; Alicia Redondo, Ariadna García; Laura Pérez, Naima, Laura Requena; and Carlota Suárez.
