Soldado and Granada hope to break Camp Nou curse against Barca

The striker will try to score against Barca, who has scored only one goal in the 16 games he has played, while the Andalusian team has never won at Camp Nou.

After winning the first round match at Los Carmenes stadium (2-0), Granada flew yesterday to Barcelona with the intention of breaking tonight the curse that haunts him at Camp Nou.

Of the 23 visits to the Coliseum of Azulgrana in all its history, Granada has not only failed to win but even to grab a single point. In those 23 matches against Barca at Camp Nou, the Andalusian team conceded 86 goals and scored only 18 goals.

One of the players who have to grab the Granada to try the miracle is Roberto Soldado, who is also choked by Barça. Of the 16 times that the Azulgrana team has been measured with Valencia, Getafe, Villarreal, Osasuna and Granada, the striker has only managed to score one goal, with Getafe at Camp Nou in the 2009-10 season, and he has once beaten Barça, which coincided with the triumph of Granada in the first round at Los Carmenes stadium.
