100% to play:
Tek
Kounde-Cubarsi-Inigo
Pedri-FDJ
Lamine-Raphina

3 question-marks:
1) LB Martin, Fort, or someting else?
2) MD Olmo, Fermin, or Gavi as 3rd md?
3) CF Ferran, or Hansi goes for Olmo false 9?

Trying to keep low expectations. Copa is not a priority for me, even if we are only a Clasico away from winning. Like I said before, this would be much more interesting if it had been at the end of the season without being shoehorned between crucial CL and Liga games.

RM will be playing this Copa final with everything they've got. I know I would be very motivated to play RM if they were on the verge of winning the treble. That's also why I think they won't drop points in Liga. And sooner or later they gotta figure out how to play v Flick. 10 games left for treble but it's still a loong way to go without slip-ups.

However I wouldn't mind us continuing where we left off before Tek got sent off last time. Just avoid extra time.

🚨🎙️| Javier Tebas: “Barça are currently leading La Liga, they're in the UCL semi-finals, and also in the CdR final. They have the chance to win all three titles — or end up with NONE. As a lifelong Real Madrid supporter, I recall the 1982-83 season where we finished as runner-up in five competitions. We reached every final, but came up short in each one. Real Madrid usually wins finals, but not that year.”

“Let’s see how things unfold for Barça. La Liga is still wide open, they have the CdR final ahead, and Real Madrid has some top players. The UCL semi-final will be tough too. Inter is no easy opponent. There’s still hope for them to finish the season empty handed ”

Lahoz will be cloned multiple times for this game to come back as main ref, line refs, fourth ref and 10 versions of him in the VAR room.

The pressure on the referees/calls will be tremendous obviously - on the precipice of a quadruple from the Catalans, Spain won’t have it

Then, there’s the Liga Clasico

Crazy 2 weeks upcoming

Let's go for the first title!

---------Szczesny
Kounde--Cubarsi--Inigo--Martin
----de Jong ---Pedri
Lamine---Fermin---Rapha
----------Ferran

I'd keep Olmo as a decider on the bench for second half, as we would lack in quality subs if we need them. Fermin is in my opinion also more valuable in starting than being a sub.

The key to this game will be again not to lose the ball stupidly, pressing like mad men and a working offside trap. Score early again to force them to open up and destroy them in counter-attacks with Rapha and Lamine.

Midfield will be key again for this game.

Real last two games have more or less been 442 and been completely vacant in centre midfield area.

Surely they cant repeat that again.

Think they were pinning their hopes on Ceballos a bit but he was fucking terrible the other night.

Would guess Real go a tighter midfield three of Tchou, Valverde and Modric this time and try to get stuck in. Going to be a battle.
