The headline says it all: The current state of Barcelona &#8220;More Than A&#8221; Football Club is scoring a 90th-minute equalizer to rescue a point, at home, against 17th-place Granada on Monday…
[VIDEO: <a href="https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2021/09/20/lionel-messi-psg-substitute-mauricio-pochettino/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Messi unhappy at early sub; PSG boss Pochettino reacts</a> ]

MADRID (AP) Less than a week after a demoralizing loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Barcelona faltered at Camp Nou again, being held by winless Granada.
Barcelona needed a 90th-minute equalizer by defender Ronald Araujo, sparking jeers by many in the crowd of nearly 27,000.
The setback followed the 3-0 rout by Bayern in the team&#8217;s first defeat since losing Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain, and added pressure on coach Ronald Koeman and club president Joan Laporta.
Granada came to Barcelona winless in four matches and coming off two consecutive losses, including at home against Real Betis in the Andalucia derby last week. It defeated Barcelona at Camp Nou the last time they met in April.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a shame,&#8221; Araujo said. &#8220;If we had been able to score earlier we could have gotten the victory. After the early goal they sat back on defense and that made it difficult for us.&#8221;

The draw left Barcelona in seventh place, five points from leader Real Madrid with a game in hand.
Coached by former Spain manager Robert Moreno, Granada opened the scoring two minutes into the match with a header by Domingos Duarte off a set-piece.
Barcelona squandered two great chances to equalize before halftime &#8211; Sergi Roberto hit the crossbar from inside the area and Araujo&#8217;s header was brilliantly saved by Granada goalkeeper Luis Maximiano.
Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong also failed to capitalize on scoring chances in the second half, but Araujo finally broke through with a close-range header in the 90th.
&#8220;We know that Barcelona isn&#8217;t going through a good moment and it was important to try to take advantage of that early on,&#8221; Duarte said. &#8220;Earning a point at Camp Nou is always good but we came close to getting the three points. In the end they had many chances too. It was a fair result.&#8221;
Koeman couldn&#8217;t count on several players because of injuries, including Jordi Alba and Pedri Gonzalez.
He added a few youngsters in the second half, including Riqui Puig and 17-year-old Gavi, who set up Araujo&#8217;s equalizer. Philippe Coutinho was one of the players replaced.
Veteran defender Gerard Pique played as a striker after coming into the game in the final minutes.

Barcelona on Thursday approved a budget of 765 million euros ($899 million) for the 2021-2022 season, the club said.
&#8220;An operating budget of 765 million euros for the 2021/22 season has been approved,&#8221; Barca said in a statement after a board meeting.
Barcelona had intially forecast revenues of 791 million euros ($932 million) for the 2020/2021 fiscal year. 
However, this had been based on the assumption that fans would return to stadiums last December post-pandemic, which ultimately did not happen. 
On Thursday, the board of directors also approved &#8220;the close of the fiscal year for the 2020/21 season, with a loss of 481 million euros ($565.4 million)&#8221;. 
Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, had already announced these losses during a press conference he gave in August to explain the departure to Paris Saint Germain of Argentine star Lionel Messi. 
At the time, Laporta also acknowledged the club&#8217;s significant debt, which stands at 1.35 billion euros ($1.587 billion).

&#8220;We need change from top to bottom,&#8221; Gerard Pique said but even he could not have predicted what followed as Barcelona, without Lionel Messi, reunite with Bayern Munich on Tuesday, a year on from the defeat that changed everything.
After the 8-2 loss by Bayern in the Champions League quarter-finals, Pique said Barca needed change of all kinds, &#8220;not just players and coaches, but structurally&#8221;, insisting &#8220;new blood&#8221; was needed. &#8220;We are not able to compete in Europe,&#8221; he said.
The humiliation felt like rock bottom, a brutal confirmation of mediocrity delivered by a club about to reach the summit of Europe against one no longer anywhere near it.
Pique demanded revolution but little has improved in the year since, the club&#8217;s financial horrors laid bare by Messi&#8217;s departure to Paris Saint-Germain, which has been harder to stomach for the fans than any thrashing on the pitch.
Ten days after the loss in Lisbon, Messi sent Barcelona the burofax stating his desire to leave and while he insisted it had nothing to do with the Bayern defeat, he also said they &#8220;had given off a very bad image. It was wrong.&#8221;
And so for the first time in almost two decades, Barca begin a Champions League campaign this week without their best ever player, who registered his first Champions League goal in 2005 and went on to score 120 in 149 games for them, against 41 different opponents, including seven hat-tricks.
Messi won four Champions Leagues in 10 years at Camp Nou but none in his last six and while he was far from blameless, every failure enhanced the sense of a historic career being wasted.
									
										
											
											
												
											
											
											
												
											
										
									
								
Whether the theory Messi&#8217;s absence will liberate others has merit remains to be seen but there is certainly less pressure now to succeed, even less than last season, when a gallant draw with PSG in the second leg came as something of a relief after a 4-1 loss in the first.
&#8211; Memphis face of new era? &#8211; 
Dampened expectations could at least offer a more forgiving platform for Barca&#8217;s youngsters to thrive and others, like Memphis Depay and Ousmane Dembele, to step forward.
&#8220;Memphis can mark a new era at Barca,&#8221; said Koeman this week. &#8220;He has the things you need to be a success here: personality and character.&#8221;
If new blood was needed, Koeman has helped accelerate the transition as the likes of Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Sergino Dest and Ronald Araujo have risen in prominence, ready perhaps to lead themselves.
There have been departures too, 20 of them since the final whistle blew in Lisbon, not to mention the coach, with Quique Setien being swiftly replaced by Koeman. Five of those that played against Bayern in 2020 have gone.
It was the board Pique was targeting most and there has been wholesale change there as well, with Joan Laporta taking over as president and installing Mateu Alemany as the new director of football.
But Laporta&#8217;s first six months has been so consumed by keeping the club afloat, there have been precious few decisions aimed at taking it forward. 
						
							
								
								
									
									
								
								
								
							
						
					
Last month, Laporta indicated the club&#8217;s total debts amounted to 1.35 billion euros, with player salaries 103 per cent of income, a figure now closer to 80 per cent after the transfer window. Saving, not improving, has been the priority.
The result is perhaps a club with better hopes for the future but a team that looks even worse than the one before and it would be a huge surprise if Barcelona troubled either the Champions League&#8217;s latter stages or primary contenders.
When Pique said they were &#8220;no longer able to compete in Europe&#8221; last year, there was anger in his voice but there is more of an acceptance now, an awareness that for now the pinnacle is almost certainly out of reach. 
For Barcelona, the worst may be over but it could be a while before the good times return.

Champions League: Barcelona face Bayern again, without Messi

Germany winger Serge Gnabry is an injury doubt for Bayern Munich ahead of their opening Champions League group-stage game at Barcelona on Tuesday.
Gnabry went off just before half-time with a back injury in Bayern&#8217;s 4-1 Bundesliga win at fellow Champions League side RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Bayern head coach Julian Nagelsmann said Gnabry faces a race against time to be fit for the match at Camp Nou.
&#8220;Serge Gnabry took a knock to the ribs and has a bit of lower back pain,&#8221; said Nagelsmann.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if he will be okay for Tuesday, anyone who has had lumbago knows it can go quickly or can also take a while.
&#8220;We will have to speak to the team doctor and see.&#8221;
Gnabry, 26, has been in great form recently, scoring three goals for Germany in this month&#8217;s World Cup qualifiers.
									
										
											
											
												
											
											
											
												
											
										
									
								
Next week&#8217;s trip to Barcelona is the first meeting of the clubs since Bayern&#8217;s historic 8-2 rout in the 2019-20 Champions League quarter-finals on their way to winning the title.

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi also serves as chairman of the European Club Association, and he did not hold back from a trio of clubs still pursuing the European Super League on Monday.
Addressing the ECA&#8217;s general assembly, Al-Khelaifi blasted Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Juventus for not abandoning the idea as its Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga peers had done soon after the announcement of the breakaway league&#8217;s founding.

&#8220;I will not spend much time talking about the 18th of April, and the &#8216;not-so-Super League&#8217; because I do not like to focus on fabulists and failures,&#8221; <a href="https://www.ecaeurope.com/news/european-club-assocation-general-assembly-chairmans-address-6-september-2021/" target="_blank">Al-Khelaifi said, later adding</a>, &#8220;And while the three rebel cubs waste energies, twist narratives, and continue to shout at the sky, the rest of us are moving forward and focusingevery energy on building a better future for European football – together as one.&#8221;
Al-Khelaifi said the ECA is working with UEFA to help stabilizing European club football and used his speech touch on their plan, which includes
<ul>
<li>&#8220;a multi-billion Euro debt fund to allow clubs of all tiers to accelerate their recovery from the financial devastation of COVID.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;The ECA has also championed a separate initiative to re-distribute around 50 million Euros per year more of solidarity money for the benefit of smaller clubs not participating in European Club Competition.&#8221;</li>
<li>a change to the international calendar: &#8220;This needs honest engagement, not unilateral and self-interested decisions.  Over-scheduled and disrupted matches put the players’ health and wellbeing at risk – and the Clubs bear all the risk.&#8221;</li>
<li>fighting racism and sexism in football while promoting the women&#8217;s game: &#8220;Men’s European Football will invest more in the UEFA Women’s Champions League every year – this needs to be the first step of many.&#8221;</li>

PSG boss blasts European Super League holdouts, details reforms

Barcelona have handed Ansu Fati the No. 10 shirt which was recently worn by former captain Lionel Messi.
The shirt became vacant after Messi left the club to continue his career with Paris St-Germain.
A short clip shared by Barcelona on Twitter shows Ansu Fati wearing the shirt. It was captioned, &#8220;Our new number ten Made in La Masia @ANSUFATI.&#8221;
However, fans on Twitter expressed displeasure at the club&#8217;s decision to hand the 18-year-old the shirt so soon.
One @andrespoli1988 said, &#8220;Even Messi never took this no. So early&#8230; He waited for years&#8230; 30 then 19&#8230; and then finally 10./. giving him that jersey so soon feels like a disrespect to Leo.&#8221;
According to @ezrandez, &#8220;Should have retired the no 10 IMO.&#8221;
@akcaqil said, &#8220;Messi is the best ever to wear it and Fati can’t be Messi!&#8221;
									
										
											
											
												
											
											
											
												
											
										
									
								
&#8220;Why would you put so much responsibility on him, man? No,&#8221; said @Divine_Curry.
@Toast_TheGist said, &#8220;No disrespect to Fati but that&#8217;s too big of a jump for him. Why are we so quick to look for the next Messi let the boy earn the shirt. Making it look like jersey 10 is something we can just toss around. Barcelona is in shambles am afraid IDK what institution this is anymore.&#8221;

The grass isn&#8217;t always greener on the other side, even if the money is.
Antoine Griezmann is returning to Atletico Madrid, three years after sealing a move to La Liga rivals Barcelona.
Fabrizio Romano said Barca was working on signing Luuk de Jong from Sevilla, which put a damper on the idea of Joao Felix going the other way in a swap deal.
[ MORE: <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/news/nbc-sports-premier-league-schedule-fixtures-nbc-sports-watch-live-stream-link-tv-info-peacock-video" target="_blank">How to watch Premier League in USA</a> ] 
The 30-year-old cost Barcelona more than $130 million at the time, this loan with an obligation to buy likely to fall extremely short of that mark.
Griezmann has a contract through the 2023-24 season and a seismic release clause, which seems so silly with Barca working so hard to shed salaries in an economic plight that cost them Lionel Messi and forced living legends Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets to take pay cuts.
The French World Cup winner was La Liga&#8217;s Player of the Season in 2015-16, but his departure coincides with Atleti winning La Liga and Barca failing to claim a league title.
He leaves Barcelona with 35 goals and 17 assists in 102 appearances. His best La Liga campaign with Barca includes 13 goals, shy of the 15+ goals he registered five times between Atleti and Real Sociedad.

Griezmann leaves Barcelona, returns to Atletico Madrid

Antoine Griezmann is set for a shock Deadline Day return to Atletico Madrid after they agreed a deal with Barcelona to re-sign the France forward.
According to Sky in Italy, the two La Liga rivals reached an agreement on Tuesday night for the 2018 World Cup winner to move back to the Wanda Metropolitano on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy for £34.4m (€40m) next year.
Atleti were able to move for the 30-year-old after sanctioning Saul Niguez&#8217;s potential departure to Chelsea on an initial loan with option to buy worth £33.5m (€39m) overall.
Diego Simeone is keen on a new striker and the Frenchman would have no difficulty in settling in since he has already worked under the Argentine between 2014 and 2019.
Both clubs only have a few hours left to complete their business as the Spain window closes at 11pm UK time.
Barcelona are already looking for a potential replacement if the move were to happen, with Sevilla&#8217;s Luuk de Jong on their radar.
The Catalan giants have been trying to lighten their wage bill this summer due to debts amounting to £1.15billion, as confirmed by club president Joan Laporta earlier in August.
									
										
											
											
												
											
											
											
												
											
										
									
								
The club&#8217;s reported financial struggles meant they were unable to offer Lionel Messi a new contract, prompting his shock exit to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.
On Tuesday, the club announced stalwarts Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba have accepted to take a pay cut in order to aid the club&#8217;s Financial Fair Play parameters and ensure new signing Sergio Aguero could be formally registered with the Spanish Football League.
Earlier in the summer, Gerard Pique took a similar decision to allow Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia to be ratified as Barcelona players.
Griezmann originally left Atletico for Barcelona in 2019 at the end of a protracted transfer saga after his £103m (€120m) release clause was paid in full.
A year earlier, he featured in a documentary with Spanish TV station Movistar called &#8220;The Decision&#8221; which followed him as he opted to stay at Atletico despite interest from Barcelona.
