We should just stick with German managers for the foreseeable future. 😁

Need white man to lead.

Would start Ferran or Balde at LW and Cancelo at LB.

2 of our 3 best players missing diminishes the anticipation for the game sadly. Rapha's and Pedri's pressing will be missed hard, especially because cup Atleti is much more difficult to beat than league Atletico. The mission tonight should be to secure a result we are able to overturn in the second leg.

 

[Andresito]

A draw tonight would be great.

Loss by 1 goal would be OK but with bitter aftertaste. It would still makes us favourites to advance but against this Atleti we shouldn't be able to lose, even away with Rapha and Pedri out.

Apart from a 0-2 or 0-3 Barca win tonight, I can't realistically see a result that decides the tie.

Don't know why the Spanish FA keeps this shit format that favours the big teams. Should be one match per round all the way to the final. That's the beauty and unpredictability of the cup.

Think the format is ok. Problem is there are way too many internationals (nations? cup) and European matches.

Would trim the league by 2 teams too and you have 4 matches less.

Excited fot this match. Expecting Atletico to give 100%, their only chance to win a title

 

[MonteCuler]

We can lose this game 5-0 I wouldn't care tbh. Only that it can ruin our momentum

With all players back for 2nd leg in March we will probably finish them on Camp Nou

But think we are winning here at worst a draw

 

[ZenI]

Would start Ferran or Balde at LW and Cancelo at LB.

Lol no

Team is mostly set. You have Olmo instead of Pedri and Rashford instead of Rapha. Only big question is wether we go for Ferran or Lewandowski.

Rashford is out too and even if he was there his lack of effort in pressing is a big handicap
