MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona's season is threatening to implode with Wednesday's King's Cup final against Real Madrid looming after a nightmare week when they were knocked out of Europe and lost 1-0 at lowly Granada in La Liga.

Saturday's defeat at Granada means La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, who were also responsible for Barca's Champions League elimination on Wednesday, can pull four points clear of the Catalan giants with a win at Getafe on Sunday.
