Think it's reasonable to think they can beat us as at home it was a fairly even game until the red card.

Messi is definitely going to play. I would like to see Neymar sit as well, but can't see it happening.

It's an early season, there is no need to rest anybody. Play full squad, there will be time for rotations against Malaga. Overrotation is one of the reasons we are in a shit mode.

Lucho is going to get killed if he does rotation experiments in November.
Sevilla (A), Malaga (H), Sociedad (A) and Real (H) is about as bad of a schedule as one could recieve. November could be a very bad month for us.
We have limited room for rotations with this schedule, City in the CL is one of the games that would allow for us to rotate without great complication. We should take it.

Yep. With the CL no1 spot in the bag we need to concentrate on La Liga. I mean, we can lose to City 0-3 and draw with Celtic and still go through as group leaders. But knowing Lucho he will play the best team vs City and rotate vs Sevilla and lose that game. He seems to have an odd way of deciding which game counts most.
There are positives even if we lose vs City, as the team will naturally be more motivated after a loss and maybe go all in vs Sevilla. I liked how we played Sevilla in the Supercup. We were very sharp.

Lucho will go full force, no doubt, if we win and Borrusia lose points, we are guaranteed 1st place with two games left and then we can play Paco, Marlon, Gumbau or whoever.

When Barca goes to play a big club in England in CL, the team is going to go all out. Barca will not settle for a draw, they very much want to beat City in front of the global audience. I could see Lucho rotating one spot max. My pick would be Arda for Luisito. Then bring in Luisito for Neymar, if the game is going well.
Rakitic needs to be ironman until Iniesta returns, no rest unless he can get subbed when the team has a big lead.

Good point on the global audience and brand exposure
yeah Raki would need the xtra spinach ... unless he goes 100% in the 1st half and gets subbed by rafi for the 2nd
