Just before 19:00 CEST, Barca were third and had a game in hand. They were second when the game got underway. At 19:30, Messi had put Barca leaders. But in the second half, everything went downhill for them.
Machis levelled in the 63rd minute and 16 minutes later, Jorge Molina gave Granada a shock lead to make it 1-2. The 39 year-old striker took advantage of poor marking by Pique and Umtiti.
Adrian Marin crossed from the left and Pique did not clear the aerial pass. Molina got in behind Pique and ahead of Umtiti to head into the back of the net.
The goal sent tumbling back into second and forced Koeman's men to score twice in the final minutes of the game. Koeman was also sent off for arguing.
