Having not scored in all competitions since Nov. 22, Ivan Rakitic finally found the back of the net in the first half of Barcelona's La Liga fixture at Granada on Saturday.
After Jordi Alba played an excellent long ball to Luis Suarez in the 26th minute, the Uruguayan No. 9 proceeded to blast a low cross into the six-yard box, where centre-back Cala failed to clear the danger and allowed Rakitic to step up and blast home a shot.
While it had been a while since Rakitic scored, it had been even longer since he found the back of the net away from the Camp Nou.
