La Liga returns this weekend as the Spanish title race is already heating up just four games into the season. The Top 4 teams in the country are separated by just three points and the defending champions are on the road this weekend looking to build on their first clean sheet of the season. They want to pick up three big points as they look to stay close to their biggest rivals.

Barcelona comes into this one after a very tough Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, which required one of the best performances of Marc-André ter Stegen’s career to keep a clean sheet for the Catalans. Barça did not play well in Dortmund and deserved to lose, so the lesson from their first European game was that the team still need to improve a lot.
And they’ll face another tough game on the road this weekend. Granada has the same seven points as Barça owns the third-best attack in the league this season, but they haven’t scored a goal at home yet. Barça’s history away vs. Granada is positive for the Blaugrana, but they must prove superiority on the pitch. With Lionel Messi closer to his best physically and 16-year-old phenom Ansu Fati earning more and more minutes, Barça should have too much for the home team.
