Copa 1/2 Final: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 3-2 (agg)

[Messi983]

I expect the best possible/available XI at this time to start.

MATS, Mingueza, Lenglet, Umtiti, Alba; FDJ, Busi, Pedri; Dembele, Messi, Griezmann

Will also be a good test to see if/how Umtiti and Lenglet will work together before the PSG game and then if Dest will be ready next week Koeman can decide to either keep them Frenchies together or move Mingueza to a CB (he hasn't played there for weeks so this could also backfire though) to replace one of them.

Add one good defenseman (athletic), healthy Araujo and change Busi to mobile workhorse and we would be pretty good. Of course lack of ST hurts us a lot too.

Rakitic playing match of the season tonight. But i have faith in our squad, excited! Lets hope we achieve our first win against one of the spain's very best teams this season

High intensity pressing on Rakitic with Frenkie and Pedri and it's a clear chance for us

 

[Horatio]

Today is a beautiful day because Barca plays today.

Now that you said it, Rakitic is definitely scoring against us.

He’ll now be completely press resistant... and athletic

Just like Suarez is banging in nearly every chance he gets for Atletico yet he was top of the big chances missed tables by far for us last season.

Upamecano/Kounde, Wijnaldum.

Originally said 1-2, but I'm re-adjusting it to Sevilla 1-3 Barcelona.

True.. it is such a joke. Suarez missed so many chances for us. One season he had the most misses in LaLiga by far. He's been lucky this season.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Upamecano/Kounde, Wijnaldum.

Absolutely. Those guys would cost more than 40mil though. Tough for us.

MD says Firpo will play as an RB.

Lenglet not in the starting XI apparently either.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Umtiti-Minqueza CB then....

 

[Katarina1]

Firpo-Umtiti cb duo
