Granada seemed to have everything in control after 88 minutes of their quarterfinal tie, but Barcelona's persistent ways eventually led to a historic come-from-behind win for the Blaugrana side with Antoine Griezmann playing a key role in it.
Braces by Jordi Alba and Antoine Griezmann led Barcelona's comeback tonight, and Frenkie de Jong's effort after a loose ball by the goalkeeper sealed the deal for Los Culés at the Nuevo Los Cármenes. When the game ended, all the praise went Antoine Griezmann's way, as he had a huge hand in this massive win.

Scoring five goals inside 20 minutes was no easy task, and Barcelona's desire to win the game had quite a hand in tonight's result. How? Well, their stats in front of goal speak for themselves.
Barcelona attempted 36 shots against Granada (20 shots on target), their most in a single game in all competitions since the 2013/14 season.

Now, Los Culés will wait for the draw to be held to find out who they will play against in the semi-finals. At the moment, Levante and Sevilla are their potential opponents, since the game between Betis and Athletic is set to be played on Thursday.
