On Paper the Midfield is really balanced.

A lot better than that shitshow at Anoeta with Rafinha-Raki-Roberto.

Eleven is good but Valverde is still cautious about the bench.

Vermaelen could have taken Umtiti's place, and Rafinha/Aleña instead of Rakitic. Coutinho is there if we need goals.

Wtf Umtiti is banned from CL but Pique is still playing over him?

Plenty of games ahead of the Spurs game.
I think this would've been the CB pairing even if Umtiti wouldn't have been red carded, he's been playing a lot.

Is it though? Doesn't strike me as a creative one. Can't wait to see how they perform.
In terms of ball retention and passing it's a lot better in that regard than the one at Anoeta.

And you have Vidal who is B2B Midfielder making runs into the box supporting the front three. The Anoeta Midfield lacked quite a bit in the ball area not just creativity but being able to withstand getting pressed and moving the ball around quick enough.

What a pleasant surprise that line-up is! Got to give it to Valverde for that one. Didn’t expect that at all.
