Copa | Semi Final: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-4 agg.

Villarato!
Because that combination of Madrid players doesn't equal an offensive sacrifice for the sole purpose of taking care of a dangerous player/wing.

I'd buy it if Marcelo and Reguilon started on the left side.

When you think about it tho, if Valverde starts ahead of Kroos in one of the Clasicos, which isn't all that unlikely considering we cannot play the same lineup in 4 games in a row, would that be comparable?

He is still entertaining the idea of going Vidal-Busi-Raki again.


You fool.

So now a days Murillo can't even make the squad?? Why did they loan him then? Or is it Pique successful politicking that got this? The guy at least has Liga experience and can atleast play a game here and there, not necessarily this one but like the game previous weekend at Sevilla? Probably why we should get rid of all the seniors if we have a chance this summer...Else all the new players we could buy and we would still have the seniors starting every game!

I hope he starts a a midfield of Alena Busquets and Rakitic. No point in rushing Arthur back. He needs to be healthy for Lyon.

We’ve faired well in Madrid recently and I don’t see why we can’t do the same tomorrow.

:lol: not a chance there is no Vidal in midfield, EV is going for 0-0, no tactics, all out defence, hoping Messi will make the ball end up in their net somehow like every game.

Most sources assuming it will be Bob-Busi-Raki midfield.
I think for this game this could work because all 3 are very good in keeping possesion.

Imo if our forwards have a good day, we will win this

EV and Barca always play to win.
I don't remember defensive matches.
Last year in Madrid I don't think we played as you wrote.
It's clear that, when you have a player like Leo, the tactic is to give him more space possible to create attempts.

The previous Barca trainers the same, no difference with EV.

Coutinho clearly has the potential to become one of the best offensive/central midfielder in the world.

It's a shame he has been underperforming, a Coutinho on fire in midfielf could give Barca a decisive edge.

It's a risk to put him there at the moment but a risk that could have huge rewards.

If he gets it right in the upcoming days and weeks this could give the team a massive push.

Starting Vidal would be a mistake imho, mind tells Roberto but heart tells me that Coutinho can do it. I was amazed last season to Watch him play there in midfield.
