Lliga | Round 3: Atletico de Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-2

[mazp]

It's so annoying how everyone is expecting us to lose/drop points on twitter. That Martinez and Greizmann will run riot our defense,etc. Messi and Masch won't be ready, Bravo injured, etc.

Hope we win

 

[Neymessi]

too many first team players missing but I still believe we will come out with a win.

 

[Kohe321]

If anyone missed it, Bravo is injured:

Sucks.

#TerStegIn then I guess

 

[Mido]

I hope I am totally wron.g but I have a bad feeling when it comes to letting Bartra play as a RB. Bartra + Rakitic + Messi wouldn't fit that well I believe.

 

[Bran the Greenseer]

Isn't Roberto fine though? I read reports that said he has the greenlight to play.

 

[Flavia]

Isn't Roberto fine though? I read reports that said he has the greenlight to play.

No greenlight yet. He trained apart from the group today.

 

[serghei]

Will Alves play?

 

[Flavia]

Will Alves play?

No, he's not even training alone yet. But Adriano might be back.

 

[Bran the Greenseer]

No greenlight yet. He trained apart from the group today.

Damn I hope he comes back in time, he's been really good. Bartra might b more solid defensively but doesn't bring anything when on the flank attacking wise, oddly enough he brings much more while as a CB.

Good news: Iniesta did not start for Spain vs. Makedonija
Also, Dunga said, Neymar won't start yet again in Brazil friendly

Mascherano could start but Argentina is playing this morning in US so he could be fatigued come Saturday.

Piqué is still suspended, isn't he?
Hopefully Roberto will be fit. Aside from that the lineup should be a no-brainer.

Oh yeah, damn.
I think they appealed again but don't expect anything of it.

Yeah, I'm not exactly getting my hopes up either.

Both Masche and Messi starting, Neymar getting subbed on in the beginning of the 2nd half. Not good.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Both Masche and Messi starting, Neymar getting subbed on in the beginning of the 2nd half. Not good.

On the other hand Neymar who was ill for a longer period gets playing time (and scores in the process), Rafinha makes his debut for Brazil and should be really confident (if he will be subbed in) and Messi's goals probably helped him too because he was really wasteful in the final third in the first games.
Our Spaniards had good games too and were able to find the back of the net.

I would have liked our guys to be rested too of course but just be confident and believe in the team. No need to worry.
