I guess Valverde is trying to finish Valencia in game 1 with Sergi Roberto, who is obviously better going forward than Semedo.

If I lived in Barcelona and had the money I would go as often as I could. I lived there during the 2010/11 season and went like 8 times despite being poor. I get it if you need to work early, have no money or ticketprices are too high. But still we should be able to get high attendance from locals and a better atmosphere. Sometimes it feels like you are in a movie theater.

I think the only question for Valverde is whether to start Iniesta or Paulinho. Busi, Raki and Cou will all start imo and the rest of the team is pretty obvious (now that I've said this I can totally see EV surprise everyone and start Denis, Vidal or even Mina 
). I would like to see Coutinho as LM so I'd go with Paulinho this time. Also considering the fact that Iniesta has played full 90 minutes on Sunday.

Try to repeat the Celta game and score a goal in the first 10-15 minutes then it will be easier. It's true Valencia is better defensively than Celta but they are missing key players in defense and midfield so we should try to take advantage of that. It's also important not to concede though unless we score 4 or 5. Personally I would be happy with 2-0 but hope we can score more so we can give some rest to Messi/Suarez, Rakitić and Pique/Umtiti with Mina getting his first minutes. Pique has played non-stop for the last almost 2 months and I also wouldn't like to push Umtiti too much so soon after injury but with Mina still adapting and Vermaelen out we don't really have many options.

Just avoid spoilers and watch the match the next day or when you have the time. That's what I do when matches are at inconvenient start times or I'm busy.

Nop ,i stay late . Haven't missed any matches for the past 4 seasons. Before that it was difficult for me to catch up with my graduation . Now i can stay late . I am used to it ,because of the late night kickoffs be it La liga , Cl , Copa or Fifa events.

Better end this in the first leg, won't be confident going to the Mestalla with the tie still in the air.
