Fans attack Lionel Messi for 'losing La Liga title' after an episode during Granada game

Barcelona suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Granada in La Liga with the result severely impacting their chances of winning the title, in so small part thanks to Leo Messi.

Having already beaten him once to open the scoring, all Lionel Messi had to do was put it past the Granada shot stopper. However, the Barca talisman failed and the ball rolled out for a corner off the keeper's foot.

Barcelona squandered their lead in the second half, conceding twice in 15 minutes to eventually lose the game.

The loss left Barcelona in 3rd place behind both Madrid sides, with Atletico 2 points clear at the top of the table.

Here's how fans reacted to Messi's failed attempt on Twitter:

Why Cristiano Ronaldo will never swap shirts with AS Roma players

In 2007, Cristiano Ronaldo was emerging as a world-class footballer while playing for Man United.

In the Champions League quarterfinal, the Red Devils dispatched Roma after being them 7-1 at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo was one of the main driving forces of that team, scoring twice and providing two assists. He was not too pleased with the way the Roma players treated him, though.

"When it was 6-0, they asked me to stop, an opponent begged me to stop dribbling," he said at the time, as quoted by Express.

"Others threatened to hurt me. Roma? There is no player with whom I would exchange a shirt."

Now, Ronaldo plays Roma twice a year in Serie A, but we're yet to see him exchange shirts with their players so apparently, he still holds the grudge.

'Last thing they would want'. Raiola reportedly issues an ultimatum to Borussia regarding Erling Haaland

Mino Raiola is employing some underhand tactics in a bid to get Borussia Dortmund to sell Erling Haaland this summer, according to respected English journalist Leah Smith.

Raiola has warned Dortmund they stand the risk of losing their prized asset to Bayern Munich next summer if they don't sell him now, which is the last thing they would want.

Haaland's €75-100m release clause can only be triggered in 2022 which means Bayern can swoop in and activate it just as they did with Mario Gotze back in 2015.

BVB have insisted they do not want to sell their starman this year as they continue to battle for a Champions League place for next season.

The 20-year-old has plundered a staggering 37 goals in 38 appearances and is deemed one of the hottest properties in Europe.
