Won't be easy for Flick now that we won big v Dortmund. The opportunity to rotate is available in that game too even if I don't think he will take it lightly.

Objective is to win with minimum amount of firepower. Against Dortmund it could actually be good to rotate as the bench players will want to prove themselves. I don't think Raphinha or Lewy will rest v Dortmund because of their hunt for G/A, especially Rapha. Iñigo at risk of suspension if carded v Dortmund, better not take that risk.

For Leganes, perhaps something like this:
Kounde, Araujo, Iñigo, Martin
Pedri, Eric
Yamal, Gavi, Raphinha
Ferran

v Dortmund
Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde
Pedri, Frenkie
Yamal, Gavi/Fermin, Raphinha
Lewy

Kounde (probably not), Pedri, Yamal, Raphinha to have minutes managed in-game.

It's very hard and unpredictable now that I think of it. To reach our objectives, Leganes is the harder game, but CL QF away is different despite initial lead. Can't see a guy like Martin starting in Dortmund.

Is it too risky for momentum or even a possible comeback to rest a lot of players in the second leg? Surely they cannot win by four even at home. However, even if you rested a lot of players and Dortmund win, it could kill momentum as I say.

If only we had won against Betis, would have been so much easier to risk many rotations.

So true. :(

I think this will be complicated game. We just won a big game and by large margin. Not exactly top motivation coming in. It's more of a "burden game"(must win) than fun football game.

We should have this game more as a priority because we should be confident about the Dortmund tie now. I just don't think players will be as motivated vs Leganes though.
