On Tuesday late evening, the Barcelona footballers celebrated an unimpressive victory in the IX round of the "LIGA BBVA" championship matches in Spain.

In a tough match, Josep Guardiola's players managed to beat "Granada" 1-0 away and at least for one day climbed to the top of the tournament table.

The only goal of the game was scored by Spain's national team goalkeeper Xavi with a great penalty shot in the 33rd minute.
