Barcelona ratings v Granada: Araujo 9, Memphis 7, De Jong, Busquets and Coutinho 5

Marc-Andre ter Stegen 6 - Stunned, but not at fault, by Granada’s quick opener. Tough night for him behind a young defence – and Granada’s opener wasn’t an isolated effort. Getty Images

Sergino Dest 6 - Hit and miss. He played on the left, he played on the right. Excellent at times, but did the difficult stuff well, less so the easier stuff. Poor crosses. Getty Images

Eric Garcia 6 - Awful against brilliant Bayern last week, he’s another player finding his way in this post-Messi side. Against a Granada side with just two points from their first four games and a side resting players, he was kept busy. Still to convince. Getty Images

Ronald Araujo 9 - Aged just 22 and the most senior player in Barca’s extremely young defence. Also main threat in the first half, with two headers on target, one of them superbly saved. Still a threat in the second period and headed the equaliser. Getty Images

Alejandro Balde 6 - Debut for the 18-year-old right-back, but it didn’t go to plan as he was taken off in the first half with a back problem. Fans booed the decision – a misunderstanding. Getty Images

Frenkie De Jong. 5 - Ball sailed over his head for Granada’s opener after 88 seconds. Determined to right his wrong, but taken off at half time. Getty Images

Sergio Busquets 5 - Tangled in the opening goal. The captain headed at goal after 45 minutes during a spell of sustained attacks. It was a sorry night for the Catalan before being substituted. Getty Images

Sergi Roberto 5 - Replaced the injured ever present Pedri, hit the crossbar after 18 minutes. Off at half time but escaped being booed by his own fans. AFP

Philippe Coutinho 5 - First competitive game in nine months which was always likely to be a struggle. The €160 million footballer was replaced by a 17-year-old after an hour. EPA

Memphis Depay 7 - The sparse crowd chanted his name. shot over early on. An attempted overhead kick summed up Barça’s night – the ball sailed over him and he didn’t connect. Did connect with a shot after an hour but it went over. Isolated. Getty Images

Yusuf Demir 6 - Another youngster, the 18-year-old Austrian can’t be blamed for what ex-player Pichi Alonso described as “Barça are just total chaos. Players all out of position, everyone just rushing forward.” Getty Images

SUB: Oscar Mingueza 6 - On for the unfortunate Balde after 42 minutes. Booked after 76 as the crowd grew angry at Granada’s perceived time-wasting. AFP

SUB: Luuk de Jong 5 - On for Sergi Roberto at half time. Unmarked and in front of goal after 79, but headed a fine chance over. You don’t miss those. EPA

SUB: Gavi 7 - Seventeen-year-old goalscoring midfielder brought on for Coutinho after an hour. Assisted the equaliser with a cross. AFP

SUB: Gerard Pique 6 - On for Demir after 75 to an encouraging roar from the tiny 27,000 crowd (the capacity was limited to 39,000). Pushed right up front in search of an equaliser which never came. You read that right, he played up front. Booked. Getty Images

SUB: Riqui Puig 6 - On for Busquets after 74, a move which delighted the crowd. Getty Images

Barcelona limped to a 1-1 draw at home to lowly Granada in La Liga on Monday, needing defender Ronald Araujo's last-minute header to rescue a point.

With 27,000 out of a possible 40,000 fans inside the ground, those in attendance were stunned into silence after 85 seconds as Domingos Duarte rose at the back post to head in Sergio Escudero's centre.

Sergi Roberto struck the post with a volley midway through the first half as Barca huffed and puffed to get back into the game.

Araujo forced Luis Maximiano into a full-length stop on the stroke of halftime as the Catalans resorted to hoofing the ball into the box, racking up over 40 crosses from open play.

It ultimately paid off as the Uruguayan rescued a point for Ronald Koeman's side in the final minute of normal time.

The result leaves Barca in seventh place on eight points from four games, five behind leaders Real Madrid who have played five matches.

Granada, meanwhile, remain without a win and are in 17th spot on three points from five games.
