La Liga | Round 30: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 2-1

[Gari]

Bar?a bench: I?aki Pe?a, Arnau Tenas, Piqu?, Griezmann, Pjanic, Braithwaite, Riqui Puig, Trinc?o, Sergi Roberto, Umtiti, Junior and Ilaix Moriba.

I like the lineup. Would prefer Pique to start if he was ready but seems Koeman learned his lesson from the PSG game. No point forcing him unfit.

Pretty good bench.

 

[jairzinho]

Good lineup. I just get the feeling like Messi will bag a brace today.

FDJ in midfield and fact Real rain in the crosses so Araujo better suited would guess at why made the changes.

Griezmann cant complain when shite in last match and team looked better with FDJ pushed on.

 

[Barcaman]

+ Not forcing Pique in
+ Staying true to new formation

Now Frenkie in midfield. Not sure how I feel about that as it leaves us without ball playing CB at the back.

Extra man in midfield is needed against Madrid's Modric-Kroos axis.

 

[Andresito]

Valverde starting for Madrid. 4-4-2 there. A bit cautious from Zidane as well.

Valverde is always good in the big games.

Yea, good points about the crosses. Maybe it's for the best. But I will be nervous with Araujo on the ball in a back 3 if Madrid play with intensity and press high.

 

[Rory]

Great lineup

 

[hardyboy]

3-5-2. Not starting Griezmann is a mistake imo. Dembele should've been benched. He anyways doesn't perform in big games.

Vinicius and Benzema up top?

 

[serghei]

Messi + Dembele should be better on paper than Benzema + Vinicius.

 

[jamrock]

Damn jessie smollett is starting, was hoping for anyone but him.

Also Araujo better vs Vini.

 

[JamDav1982]

Also Araujo better vs Vini.

Yeah quicker. Depends on who is on RCB but even in middle to cover pace helps.
