CL | Round of 16 - 2nd Leg: FC Barcelona - Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 (6-5 agg.)

[Devils]

PSG XI vs. Barcelona: Trapp - Meunier, Marquinhos, Silva (c), Kurzawa - Rabiot, Verratti, Matuidi - Lucas, Cavani, Draxler. #FCBPSG #UCL

No Di Maria but still a very strong line-up.

For all of my negative talk, I never doubted Iniesta and his impact on the game. Yes I think that Xavi had more of an impact on the system but Iniesta is pure-brilliance for whom there's no dependency on the system.

It's funny to see comments like: I had belief that the team would pull off a comeback but it died when I saw Iniesta in the starting line-up

No, we are not going to make a comeback but Iniesta gonna fit the gameplay like a glove!

13 is way too little for a 4 goal lead. I'd put our chances at 1% at most.

Lucas is better in terms of defensive tasks and DI Maria isn't at 100%.

Maybe you should read the comment again, in which specific part I stated that I had belief the team would pull off a comeback?

Is Lucas RW? If so, Alba's pace will be missed.

I was very excited for the game and looked for 90 minutes of good football, but instantly when I saw Iniesta starting my good mood just died...

Oh well..... This makes it even funnier then! Iniesta, by default is better than any other mid fielder out there. So relax, your chances to see good football increased 10-fold by his presence

 

[Egert]

Players looking very serious when arriving to Camp Nou. Full focus!!!!
Let's make history!!!!!!!
Visca el Barca!!!

Yeah, my eyes glimmer at the sight of Lucas ripping Iniesta a new one. Alba should be starting here and Iniesta coming off the bench when everybody is a bit tired.

We will play the equivalent of 'ultra-attacking' mode on FIFA. Gambling with Iniesta is something we have to do imo. If Iniesta pulls off an classic Iniesta performance he will be a massive help both offensively and defensively.

I can understand why Lucho is taking the risk.

There's just no other way. Since Sept. 29th, they've only been defeated twice in all leagues by Guigamp 1-2 and Montpellier 0-3 [both losses in Dec.]. No team has been able to score 3 goals against them other than Montpellier this season. And PSG is equally strong at home or visiting. Marseille was sloppy on the ball and they got destroyed despite being on home soil.

I doubt PSG is even scared. They're high on confidence and I bet they expect a win. That's where we could possibly find the gaps.
Anything less than our top A+++ game won't cut it. Maybe the chef could slip in some King Cobra blood into the Gaspacho

Dont understand how someone can question why iniesta in first 11, he is not at his best, but he is 2nd best player on the pitch after messi, he can pull something out of nothing, and that will barca need tonight

 

[BarcaGirl]

All this comeback/remontada talk is really cute, but I think we'll get another beating. Just being realistic, no need for hate

 

[impeh]

they have alot of pace on the wings, i think we'll miss alba

 

[Raketa10]

God first 11, only player who I would not play today from the start is Rafinha. My opinion is that we have better solutions for that spot but ok, let's see what happens.

Iniesta is nowhere near the second best player on the pitch.

Can understand why he is in team tonight but he is a long way off the player he was.
