No real need to rotate or rest anyone as Clasico postponed, so assuming almost everyone is healthy again what are the lineup questions in order of importance: 3rd forward - Griezmann or Dembele? Tough one but with Dembele still suspended for next Liga match there's an argument to start him here. However, since G has to start next Liga and just showed best linkup with Messi and Suarez in Eibar game, that's a solid reason to keep him in the mix. Is our midfield better with Busquets on the bench and FDJ at DM, allowing Vidal (or anyone not named Roberto) to start along with Arthur? Well I think we will start with FDJ, Busquets, and Arthur, then do some subbing. Are our fullbacks decided yet. Should be Semedo at RB when healthy but Valverde loves to play Roberto. Should still be Alba in big games, with Junior Firpo resting him in between.
Forgot about Roberto's injury, don't wish that on anyone, but it clears up that Semedo will start and perhaps Wague will make the squad even. Also read that Umtiti is injured again, damn, what a bad string of injuries he's had for over a year now.
Starting lineup; MATS Semedo, Piqué, Lenglet, Alba, Busquets, De Jong, Arthur, Messi, Suárez y Griezmann.
That was a good pass from Arthur, he could have rushed a quick pass to Suarez who was about to get crowded and he waited for Messi to get into that gap. And Messi passes the ball to the goal as he does best.
CL and on the road. But if he could finally get a CL road goal again that could go along way towards Barca's CL hopes for the season, and this might be the best chance.
Stegen with super game, Messi, Arthur and Semedo playing well, others meh, shame on Suarez, Alba and Pique.
Well deserved equaliser. Take Busquets and Suarez our for Vidal and Dembele ASAP. And keep Roberto and Rakitic on the bench
