Apparently, Messi will be on the bench.

Messi rested, but Iniesta starts .

Would have been nice to rest Iniesta and Suarez.

 

[ThwiX]

Iniesta will be a dead man walking when we need him in the CL at this pace.

Suarez needs to get a yellow today, to clear his cards against Getafe.

Iniesta starting is not good though.

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

R.I.P Iniesta's CL performances.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

No Messi? Damnnnn. I'm afraid something is going to happen Iniesta. Why the hell is he playing in this game? I would have used him as a super sub inn case we would need him. Let Coutinho be the playmaker..

 

[Kuchi]

Iniesta will get no abuse from asspaniol due to the world cup celebration and respect for their sadly departed captain

 

[Iarwain]

Manzano is issuing licences to kill to Espanyol players as we speak.

 

[BigBarcaBoy]

Let's play the messi substitution sweepstake game, what minute will he come on in? I am going for 55 minutes

 

[Ousmane Dembélé]

So with Iniesta starting is Coutinho going to be forced to the right again?

 

[serghei]

It's a matter of time until Iniesta gets injured. Either today or vs Valencia it will happen. You just don't play a 33 year old midfielder (in a position that demands a lot of effort to begin with) in games that are 3 days apart so often.

So with Iniesta starting is Coutinho going to be forced to the right again?

Probably will play Messi's role. Free roaming AM-froward-winger type.

60th, for Iniesta. Coutinho drifts into Iniesta's place.

So with Iniesta starting is Coutinho going to be forced to the right again?

I'm hoping that this is a 4-4-2 diamond, because that would mean Coutinho at CAM. Otherwise, probably yes.
