Injuries to Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos in the 4-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in midweek forced Rafa Benitez to recall Pepe to defence and hand Lucas Vazquez his start for the club.
Granada were thrashed 9-1 here last season, but the Andalusian side appeared to have learned the lessons from that day and coach Jose Ramon Sandoval employed an intelligent game plan based on deep defending and purposeful counter-attacking.
Their approach meant Madrid did not create a clear opening until the 20th minute, when Isco played in Ronaldo, Andres Fernandez saved the Portuguese's shot and the ball dropped to Vazquez, who flashed the rebound well wide with the goal gaping.
Granada went straight down the other end and thought they had taken a shock lead when Youssef El Arabi passed a low cross into the net, but the Moroccan was harshly ruled offside.
Madrid recovered from this scare and grew in confidence. Fernandez spilled a free-kick from Ronaldo but got up in time to save Vazquez's attempt on the rebound with his shin, and on the half-hour mark the goalkeeper saved a stinging effort from Luka Modric with his feet.
Isco then flashed a shot just wide of the far post, which an anguished Ronaldo was inches away from connecting with. The Portuguese also narrowly failed to get on the end of a cross from Benzema a minute before the break.
At the other end, Granada striker Isaac Success was denied by the quick reactions of Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas, and the visitors continued to play well in the second half.
