JAKARTA - Barcelona will host the 8th place, Granada, at the Camp Nou in the 33rd week of the postponed match of La Liga, Friday, April 30. Before the match, coach Ronald Koeman praised the performance of his team, Antoine Griezmann.

Koeman believes that striker Antoine Griezmann is now more confident and has become a very important player in the Barca squad.

"Antoine is a very important player for us," Koeman told Diario Sport.

"When strikers are not very clinical then they can be criticized but I really like him as a player, he works hard for the team and he always helps us and produces something for the team," continued Koeman.

"He's been lucky this season but at the moment he is more confident, really. He has shown that with his first goal against Villareal, you have to be confident to score that goal. We hope he continues like this."

Griezmann has netted 18 goals in all competitions this season for the Blaugrana but has not always started due to high competition within the Barcelona squad.

However, due to his recent form, he will be a very important player in the race for the league title this season.

Las Blaugranas currently occupies the third position. This is a golden opportunity for them to rise to the top position if they can win over Granada.
