[Antimadridista1]

Alcacer, Turan, Denis, Rakitic and Lucas Digne will probably start the game. Lucho is gonna rotate a lot knowing that we have another game against Celta later in the week.

 

[Altomonte]

Messi should be able to avoid yellow cards, as long as he keeps quiet

 

[Barcaman]

Gomes too is likely to start again.

 

[beogatts]

some barca B players should start in this game

 

[Neeraj]

Gomes too is likely to start again.

Maktub.

 

[Neymessi]

3 consecutive home games with the last one with psg. This should be considered as a starting point for a plan to comeback against psg

Make a concrete strategy that has the same lineup,formation and tactics for the next 3 matches and try getting used to it as much as possible and hit as many goals as possible to be in control and maybe fire a comeback.

A 6-0 would be a good start.

Can we all agree cl is gone? We are not winning that tie. People expected the same against Bayern since we did it to Milan and got beaten up 0-4.
This match should be an easy win though, but Real getting gifted a penaldo for another comeback for the 40th time this season ruins my mood about la liga. Like having to box a fight where the other guy doesnt get counted out when you knock him down while you get points deducted.

There is no way Lucho will start 3 games in a row with the same lineup. In his place I would do some rotations against Gijon, go with the best lineup against Celta, play Barça B against PSG (because there is no way we'll make a remuntada) and then next week again go with the best lineup away vs Depor.

Just do our job and win every remaining game in La Liga (and of course CDR final) and then if the refs will continue to do their job and give a title to RM everyone would know that.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

10-0 vs Gijon is far more realistic than 5-0 vs PSG. No team has ever even come close to such a comeback, let alone against one of Europe's finest

 

[bismp]

If we win every game,including the match at Bernaleo,we have a big chance to win La Liga.Real will lose/draw at least one match,even with the refs' help.

 

[Mido]

Time to find the right balance between building on the game vs Atletico and resting players that need to be properly rested. Would like to see the following line-up, and shall it not work we can go back to the 4-3-3 :

[formation=barca,6]
Ter Stegen
Mascherano-0-0-Piqué-0-0-Umtiti
0-0-0-0-0-0-0
0-0-0-Busquets-0-0-0
Denis-0-0-0-0-0-Alba
0-0-0-Rakitic-0-0-0
Messi-0-0-0-0-0-Neymar
0-0-Suarez-0-0-0-0
[/formation]

 

[JerseyAddict]

But the problem with La Liga is that it is done to RM. Barça needs to be 3 times better go win RM and Refs. At this time it is not the case.

 

[Neeraj]

Every season Madrid get ridiculous referee calls in their favor; it just feels too much this season. I would be looking forward to each league game, but the kind of blatant corruption we are witnessing sure puts a dampener on things. With no CL to fall back on, just cannot wait for this season to get over.

Regarding the game against PSG, I'm surprised people have a hope for this game. Even against Atletico, in the first half you saw barely anything changed. Lucho is either blind to the obvious problem in tactics or is completely clueless how to fix them. If anything, I see PSG coming away with a victory in that game - they will be extremely buoyed with the first leg thrashing of us and will play with no fear; which is important to play in the CN.
