JAKARTA - Barcelona again appeared less convincing when they were held to a 1-1 draw at Camp Nou on Tuesday morning. In fact, coach Ronald Koeman made a ridiculous decision by making Gerard Pique a striker at the end of the match.

Granada surprised the hosts through Domingos Duarte's quick goal when the game had only been running for two minutes. Domingos Duarte scored with a header after receiving Sergio Escudero's pass. The visitors lead 1-0.

Left behind by one goal, Barcelona appeared to attack to balance the position. However, there were no additional goals until the first half ended. Barcelona trailed 0-1 from Granada.

In order to get an equalizer, Barcelona immediately speeding in the second half. However, Koeman made an odd decision in the 75th minute when he introduced Pique to replace striker Yusuf Demir.

The decision did not help the Blaugrana, although they eventually scored the equalizer through Ronald Araujo who headed in after receiving Pablo Gavira's cross.

A 1-1 draw lasted until the game was over. Barcelona is also stuck in seventh position in the standings and the meme of Pique being a striker is also circulating on social media.
