Alba should rest too. He plays a lot and his game is dependent on his fitness. If Messi starts he should be replaced by Rafinha immediately after we are up 2-3 goals (hopefully after 1st half). It doesn't matter we have 6 days for next game the next stretch is going to be difficult and now is the ideal time for rest. I'd let him on bench for whle game, but I believe after Sociedad LE will be quite risk averse
