CL game 5: Chelsea - Barca

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Well, that sucks imo.

Rashy was ill so better not to start him

and Raphi just made his come back from injury, sub role sounds good

Tuna, Lewy, Lamine killed Bilbao and im sure they will play well again today

 

[Barcaman]

So it's Araujo for one of the toughest matches so far. He's very much alive in Flick's plans.

 

[MonteCuler]

Good lineup

Bench is also very good which could be helpful. Rapha, Rashford and Olmo could be crucial from the bench

 

[soul24rage]

The front 2 of Araujo and Lewy will be too much for Chelsea's CB to handle.

 

[HeadElastico]

Expected lineup.

Excited for tonight. Chelsea is always a BIG game for us. Brings back so many memories and feelings.

 

[ZenI]

I don't like this starting lineup, at all.

So it's Araujo for one of the toughest matches so far. He's very much alive in Flick's plans.

One of his biggest fuck ups...

 

[Devils]

Has that midfield ever played together?

A bit risky from Flick.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Has that midfield ever played together?

no, cant remember it

 

[MonteCuler]

Yes because Pedri is absent and Eric has to play midfield. Doubt he would be getting a chance otherwise

 

[ZenI]

A bit risky from Flick.

Imo midfield isn't not the worst of what Flick picked. We have to take a chance with Frenkie since he's our best CM/DM even after his short injury and Garcia almost always shows up. I'm more worried he made the right choice starting Tuna over Rashy - but also starting Ara and Balde.

 

[serghei]

Watched them vs Bayern and they sucked and a bit vs Benfica at home when they also sucked. Wildly inconsistent team. Blow hot and cold.

But this is Barca and they always showed up vs us big time on Stanford Bridge.

 

[serghei]

All in all, expect a tough game. Need to take our chances and hope Garcia has another performance like vs Newcastle where he saves us big time once or twice.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

vs Bayern they started well and then were horrible in defence, expect same vs us

especially with our power subs on bench i would be really surprise if we lose this match

 

[Masetro10]

Araujo yeah this is a free pk for chelsea
