With a crushing 4-0 away win against Granada, Barcelona have now gone on an 8-game unbeaten streak, and their 4th consecutive away win. Of course, Messi was once more crucial, scoring a brace from 2 shots in the game, 3 ground duels won, 2 fouls received, 1 tackle, 1 long ball, 51 passes and 67 touches in only 65 minutes, since he was subbed off surprisingly by Koeman.

But what was even more surprising was his free-kick goal, shooting low, nutmegging a player and entering the net after many attempts and close calls. He has now scored 54 free kicks in his career, an amazing amount, and he's also scored a FK for the 14th year in a row. With his two goals in total, also he broke the 250 away goal barrier for Barcelona, a great milestone. And he's now the Pichichi with 11 goals, one more than Moreno, yet another incredible thing to consider.
The finishing was good, they scored 3 open play goals after all, so there's no need to complain about that. Only three points separate Barça and Real Madrid, and although only 4 separate them from Atlético Madrid, they have 3 games in hand, so they seem unstoppable at the moment. Hopefully, we can sweep 2nd place.
