Granada vs Barcelona, Copa del Rey: Final Score 3-5, Barça win wild quarterfinal in extra time

Barcelona are somehow, someway, through to the Copa del Rey semi-finals thanks to an absolutely wild 5-3 win in extra time against Granada. Barça dominated almost the entire match, created huge chances but were down 2-0 until the 88th minute, and then Antoine Griezmann and Jordi Alba led a historical comeback to send Barça to the Spanish Cup Final Four.

FIRST HALF

Barça were the better team in the first half, attacking from the start with purpose and creativity and having very few issues finding spaces inside a poor Granada defense. The Blaugrana dominated at times and fired loads of shots, but they lacked the cutting edge in front of goal and always missed the final ball to create a truly big chance.
