Champions League: FC Barcelona - APOEL Nicosia 1-0

[spark]

Finally Samper gets his debut. I'm doing mental cartwheels.

 

[Zebulun]

Imagine samper to learn from the master Xavi, must be surreal for him. Same for munir with messi and neymar.

 

[Hamzah]

Roberto aside it's a great lineup.

Great line up.

Why Sergi Roberto??

He has not played this season and needs to get some match fitness this is the best time to get it.

Lucho

Hope that Sergi Roberto will make a very good performance to show that the club is right to extend his contract til 2019.
Good composition, la masia power !

If Roberto plays well it will be dismissed as Apoel...... if Munir, Samper, Rafinha etc play well they will be world beaters.

Interesting Line Up.

Two more for Neymar today. Xavi will dominate. Good to see Mats and Adriano getting starts. When it gets to 3-0, pull Messi for Sandro.

Using lineups like this for Apoel and early Copa rounds will permit Barca to finish stronger next spring. Don't know about Douglas and the #3 keeper, but all the rest of the players are certainly good enough to be trusted with some playing time.

Sad but true.

Why Sergi Roberto??

Sergi Roberto might not be Iniesta or Rakitic quality, but he is certainly a good player. I'd rate him at about the level of Montoya. Both would be regular starters on most La Liga teams, just the right level for their roles as Barca squad players.

Good lineup, Roberto and possibly Samper aside. Think Lucho might be overdoing it a little by starting them.

Another opinion based on air, I presume.
