Ball possession not producing more goals for Barcelona. MORE:
Lionel Messi scored in the 76th minute to give Barcelona a 1-0 win over Granada in the Spanish league in Setién’s debut on Sunday. With Messi resting three days later, the team needed a pair of late goals from Antoine Griezmann to better third-tier club Ibiza 2-1 in the Copa del Rey.
Setién was hired last week to replace Ernesto Valverde in the Catalan club’s first mid-season coaching change since 2003. Barcelona had won back-to-back league titles and was still atop the standings under Valverde when he was let go, but the club was looking to rediscover the high-possession attacking style that Setién has always admired and applied to his teams.The team has increased its passes and the time it holds the ball.
