If EV would rotate properly in order to fully rest key players before CL matches I would agree but he won't, he is too conservative.
It was obvious that Atletico would drop points in the away games. It would not last forever.
Think he will and has to some extent.
Dont know what 'being conservative' has to do with anything, not that think he is really.
He won't fully rest Iniesta, Busquets, Pique, Alba, Rakitic, Messi. Even Umtiti or Roberto could use some rest before the CL matches if we pass to the semis which will surely bring a very demanding and tough tie against a top opponent..

Conservatorism in overplaying essential players needlessly as he won't rest even half of the above mentioned players had we progress to the semis, he should rest most if not all of them before both legs of the semis.
He will definitely rest for the final. If things go accordingly then we have won the league long before. Also Copa final is played earlier this year.
Firstl its Roma, then the semis, Barca won't play directly in the final of CL ofc.
Busi and Iniesta are rested with the injuries.
Semedo return helps Sergi. CB´s need rest and Alba. Same goes for Rakitic.
Busquets will probably be rested for the semis if Barca gets there, Iniesta already returned from his injury. What about the other core players?
