First it was Pedro "Pedri" Gonzalez shining with his assists. Then the injury-prone Dembele Ousmane earned a spot in the attack. Now the oft-maligned Antoine Griezmann is back to scoring goals.

All in all, Barcelona is slowly showing signs this season might not be a wash after all. Griezmann scored a brace and set up Lionel Messi for one of the Argentine's two goals on Saturday to lead Barcelona to a 4-0 win at Granada.
Barcelona's first three-match winning run in the league under Ronald Koeman put it four points behind leader Atletico Madrid, whose home game scheduled for Saturday against Athletic Bilbao was postponed due to a blizzard that has shut down the capital and made transit almost impossible through much of central Spain.
"Our situation is still complicated, but the team is betting better. We have had three games on the road and won all three," Koeman said. "We are more focused from the start of the games now, and when we are focused and move the ball with pace, there are few teams that can control us."
Second-placed Real Madrid was one point behind Atletico after being held at Osasuna to 0-0 in a match played in steady snowfall and with barely any scoring chances for either side.
