I don't expect much from tonight's game, hopefully a 0-0 or a 1-1 draw and take it to the 2nd leg in our territory.

Exactly the line up I expected

Alternative line up

DDG
AWB Varane Shaw Malacia
Casemiro Fred
Bruno Weghorst Sancho
Rashford

Good team, I think we will lose tonight, we're not great away and Barça are fine team
I hope we keep it down to two maximum.
ETH taking it seriously

Surprisingly Christensen and Balde do not start for Barca


Marcos Alonso at CB and Jordi Alba at LB

Dembele not being fit a blow though.

2 keepers?

So we have....

De Gea
AWB Varane Shaw Malacia
Casemiro Fred
Sancho Bruno Rashford
Weghorst


Not too bad considering the players out:
- Martinez
- Sabitzer
- Eriksen
- McTominay
- Van de Beek
- Antony
- Martial

Is it an early KO?

yeah

Thought he'd play Dalot over AWB

Good job I looked on here

Pretty much what we expected, lets see how we do. How the f-ck does a team with Marcos Alonso as CB have the best defensive record in Europe?

Usually 12 bench players in European games I think

We only have 10, so probably not enough players fit to name, hence may as well name both keepers

Because he is not first choice

They have surprisingly taken out to of their first choice back 4

I was wondering how many posters would not realise the early KO. I only found that out yesterday myself tbf

We've discussed us with our eyes elsewhere but perhaps Barca are doing the same as well.

It's not as if Christensen or Garcia are that good though.

Christensen has been surprisingly amazing for them all season

and Balde is their first choice CB

Making changes is a surprise though, since Barca are 8 points clear at the top of La Liga

Starting without 4 first XI players (Christensen, Balde, Busquets, Dembele)

Not even heard of him before?

Isn't Araujo a starter, I was quite impressed with him when I last saw Barca play. Odd they seem to just be resting their CBs, the other 2 are injured.
