We need to scrap the win somehow and then in portugal is everything possible.

According to MD, both Puig and Ansu will be on the bench.

According to MD, both Puig and Ansu will be on the bench.

I think that was inevitable unfortunately. Shame is that Setien has made that choice even without Busquets and Vidal, making Riqui back as 6th midfield option, despite being our best offensive midfielder in the LaLiga sprint.

Ansu to be "freshlegs" in the second half which isn't too bad, just as long as he gets 20 minutes or more. Because in a tight game I can see Setien sticking with the same 11 until too late in the hope a moment of brilliance and experience. It might work once against Napoli, but I doubt it can be repeated against better sides.

Messi and Suarez almost certainly won't go off, so only Griezmann to go off and only if he is performing less than average- or if we're losing the tie meaning Ansu comes on for the most expendable defender/midfielder (Semedo).

Just my predictions. Hopefully I'm wrong.

There's no problem if they start on the bench as long as they get proper minutes.

I think Fati is the best vs tired legs. Puig could start from the beginning but i understand why he chose experience over him.

 

[Hardy]
