Let's not joke, yes to rotation no to all new 11. We need to win and keep the gap. Pedri and Yamal are only who should be truly rested, all others can play at least some minutes.

Rumors are that Inter will rest almost full squad against Verona despite being 3 points behind Napoli

Need to be careful not to throw away the season in a week. We lose points here and we suddenly have a do or die Clasico against a well rested Real.

Rotations yes, but I wouldn't go crazy.

Flick underlined the importance of this match. If CL final happens great, if not, we'll still have a great season with La Liga, Copa and Supercopa. Losing the league though would be a disaster. Think the team knows this and won't let it happen. Not after all the work we put in this season.

Don't be like Inter. Chances are they will end up with nothing this season.

Inter won the league last season so it is a calculated risk to prioritize CL this week.

Us finishing the season with just the Copa would be terrible considering the position we hold as of today.

Plus Madrid do not deserve any silverware.

They so shook that the Senile old man is threatening the referees through RMTV. Again.

Feel the same re Madrid, I would rather win the league know that shuts them out, if I could only choose one.

And they lost it 2 seasons ago. Losing 2 scudettos to Napoli in 3 years is embarassing if you're supposed to be the best team in Italy. Before I think Milan won. Inter won 1 league title in the last 4 or something....

You ain't wrong. But success last season usually gives a little bit of leeway.

Bit like Madrid this year.

Don't think so personally. Not in Italy where you are the biggest team by a margin in the last few seasons. Madrid at least have Barca as competition.

It's piss poor by Inter and Inzaghi. That's how I see it. That's why Juventus have 36 league titles in Italy. Almost as much as Inter and AC Milan combined.

Inter were crumbling with financial difficulties when he took over. He made a squad out of scrap, practically, with old Prem rejects.

How about Napoli? They sold their only top class player in Kvara and could win a title ahead of Inter? How is that acceptable. :lol:

Their competition is Napoli. Not some rich club to use this argument. Inter has the best squad in the Italian league.

Even Napoli brought in some great players last window, but yeah, they are comparable squads, the difference is Inter is competing on three fronts and Napoli competes on one.

Not sure it is some massive disaster as you claim.

Yeah... for me it's not comparable. Inter has a better squad and underachieved in titles under Simone Inzaghi. Let's see if they manage to turn it around in the last moment.

I don't think you know much about Serie A, it seems this is more driven by your dislike of Inzaghi than an actual analysis.

Inter's squad on paper is nowhere near good enough to be competing for CL and yet they have been firmly in the mix now for 3 seasons.

However, more fool us for getting knocked out of the group stages by an incompetent manager. Oh well.

I'm not talking about the CL. I'm talking about their results under Inzaghi in Serie A league compared to Napoli. Their squad is rated at about 600m, Napoli's is at 350m roughly, and they could lose a league title to Napoli.

That's very very bad.

In CL they did pretty well. Domestically, not so much.
