I... did not expect this one.
That's a bit of an issue don't you think? Not expecting for rotations when it's the logical thing to do?
Can be. I thought he'd only rest Messi/Rakitić and go for the rhythm. 3 players resting is decent.
Isn't Suarez the one struggling more with an injury than Messi?
Yea it is. I would've used Alena too. A bit of a shame he hasn't played much lately.
Besides, Atletico is 0-0 at HT. If they don't win vs Girona and we win today, it's basically done. La Liga in the bag, resting done, we can even afford to treat the Atletico game as a good rehearsal for CL with United.
