[Barcaman]

Strange he got no minutes.

 

[mc_lovin]

He travelled half the world mate.

getting fired up for atletico?

4d chess

 

[mc_lovin]

Played just 1 game and not a key player.

 

[JamDav1982]

Plenty playrs travelled that far and played this weekend.

Strange not to be used to even rest Lamine.

Feels like one of those Flick disciplines.

Those played the same number of minutes as Raphinha this season and have a key game midweek?

Flick is an Argentina fan

Did they play with players who played so many minutes on Thursday?

Can argue it either way.

 

[serghei]

Raphinha is not a normal player for us. I don't have stats, but he probably makes by far the most high-intensity sprints in the team over 90 minutes.

So he could have been used then.

 

[Maradona37]

He gets a rest and Barca win easily.

In Raphinha's case it's no harm done.

 

[mc_lovin]

Contrarian strikes again?

Not hard to see why Raph is the one getting rested.

 

[serghei]

So he could have been used then.

If score would've been 1-1 and we were in danger of losing points, he'd have been put in almost surely. As it wasn't needed, he was rested for AM. Less than a week from his last game with Brazil if he plays with AM.

He was making subs at 1-1 and Raph was not one of them..maybe later.

Even then.. to rest Yamal earlier.
