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

[LFCB]

I am so scared that Pique will start just like PSG and ruin the structure, especially considering how well Mingueza and co have been playing
Stuck in the past if we try to rely on him again.

To be fair he almost always steps up against Madrid but I am with you. He has no match fitness whatsoever.

Messi Griezmann Dembele and Frenkie need to show up tomorrow

BREAKING NEWS:

Lahoz is injured, Gil Manzano will be the ref.




We've won only 1 of the 8 away league games when he was a ref.

Can’t handle two games in one week..... amateur.

I have a feeling Koeman is going to bench Griezmann and start with 3 at the back to be more safe

----Mingueza------Araujo----Lenglet------
-Dest-------FDJ-------Busquets-----Alba--

I hope he resists the temptation to shoehorn Pique back in. I think he will have learnt his lesson from the PSG game.

I think I can calm you down a bit. Araujo recently said in an interview that they made mistakes and he started too early because he wanted to help the team. The physical/medical team is aware of that and they are taking it more slowly this time like seen last weekend. I think it is the same with Pique. I doubt they rush him back another time in such an important game.

Imo, the situation is also totally different to the PSG game. Back then Koeman really had issues with his CBs and defense, players making lots of individual errors. System switch did wonders and there is no necessity to change things. It isn't even sure if Araujo comes back into the starting XI, who by far has been the best performing CB of the team this season.

Pique and Roberto in squad. Let’s hope on the bench.

Madrid has drawn their last game against Sociedad but won previous 15 home league games with Manzano.

Now we'll see how right Roncero was that the ref won't let them win.

Alba-Lenglet-Pique-Roberto... let's gooo.

Alba-Lenglet-Pique-Roberto... let's gooo.

Pleasseee no!!!
Same defence that started vs Liverpool and we still have it

Gil Manzano is the same ref that sent Messi off for no reason in SC

 

[JerseyAddict]

I am so hyped... And scared a bit too.
This is a crucial game!

Hopefully Real is satisfied from the CL match and go easy on us..
