I fear not. I can drink tea, Englishman style, while everything around me is flying in the air. Hurricanes are overrated anyway. :coffee:



At minute 78 I plan to invade the pitch naked and hug Messi.
If you want I can draw a "barcaforum.com" sign on my back or.....lower if you want, for the price of one beer and bringing my powers back. :cheers:

I will give you your powers if you promise not to do it. :lol:

--Denis--Suarez--Deulofeu--
--Iniesta--Busquets--Rakitic
-Alba-Umtiti-Pique-Semedo-
------------Ter Stegen---------------

This would be my lineup. I would definitely sub in Roberto, Paulinho and Gomes, or probably Messi in late game if necessary. If not Messi should be rested.

Pre-match presser:

Paulinho: "I feel completely adapted and I feel the support of all my teammates. It is a privilege to play next to Messi"
"I am ready to run for him so that with his quality decide any match."

Paulinho:

"It is a great satisfaction to play the Champions League, in life you have to take advantage of the opportunities that you are given, not just me but anyone." "When I arrived, there was perhaps some mistrust. I always want to return the trust for those who believed in me, to give everything and to help my companions to obtain victories ".

"In Barça I can contribute in attack, always trying to improve. I always played in the same position, with three midfielders, in Barça and in the national team. The coach gives me freedom to score, to give assists. "

Would rest Messi for this one.

I've never seen Messi run out of gas and the reason is the single thing some people here accuse him of - playing most of the matches at walking pace, 70-80% of the time. In the end it's about his age, he is not 23 anymore to dribble past 4-5 defenders at a time like some ordinary thing. Also given the shit form and injuries of half of the Barca players... it's like the Argentina squad.

I would not rest for any other reason than why risk him? Some Olympiacos player could go in two footed and we have risked our global star for what? 3 points off Olympiacos we would get with or without Messi? Olympiacos are experiencing their worst season in a decade. This is the game Valverde should experiment with - not the Atletico game.

I agree with you on the injury risk, but this is the Champions League. The most important competition in the world, on a club level. Every appearance and goal counts. If you remember Messi played against Leverkusen in 2015, that strange Lucho lineup. Kaptoum, Samper, Gumbau and Juan Camara all took part.
