Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez given big reception as Barcelona face Granada

Barcelona arrived on Friday night in Granada and were given a big welcome by around 300 fans in the airportLeo Messi was, unsurprisingly, the player most chanted for. 

The team, who left El Prat airport half-an-hour late, because of a traffic jam on the way, will face Granada at 4pm on Saturday, in the 25th game-week of the season. 

Accompanying the players were Javier Faus, Jordi Mestre, Tito Vilanova, and Pont, as well as part of Andres Iniesta's family - his sister and her husband.

The fans who greeted Barcelona shouted encouragement and waved banners. Luis Suarez, who came in from the terminal drinking mate, was given strong support after his double against Manchester City. 

Barcelona went straight to their hotel for dinner and then rest, ahead of the game at the Nuevo Los Carmenes.
