Would've preferred Rakitic over Xavi, but oh well. Nice to see Enrique adding some solidity at the back with Mathieu starting over Alba. A draw is all we need imo.

Mathieu in the Abidal role. Busi-Xavi-Iniesta. 3 world class forwards. This is how Barca should play. Win or lose.
 
The more I think about it the more I think this lineup will work. Even if barca line up as a back 4 I don't think Mathieu will go forward much at all. Dani will bomb forward as much as usual but Busquets drops back and again makes it into a back 4.

This isn't like our barca of the last few years. Like many have said, having Mathieu at LB is like having Abidal reincarnated. Both are French even.

I agree, this is like the good old days. We even have the two wingers acting as forwards when we attack. It is basically Pep tactics.
