Ivan Rakitić

[FinBarcelonafan]

hopefully he can get rest vs Leganes.

 

[Messi983]

Yeah, let's play with Gomes and Paulinho.

Funny thing is, Denis will most likely get minutes because Valverde has risen him from the dead after he failed to prove himself in all those chances he has given..

 

[Messi983]

Agree but I don't see Denis starting.

Midfield will probably be Coutinho-Raki-Paulinho-Dembele

 

[RMU ReBorn]

Mighty Raki . Our best player today

 

[Cule4life]

He really needs rest but sadly won't get it.

 

[raki]

Superb season. Valverde did wonders with several players.

 

[Horatio]

Wonderful season yes.

 

[GOAT_SUAREZ]

He needs rest. Badly.

 

[FC B]

Should start on the bench just like Iniesta but we are speaking about Valverde here...

Start Busquets and Paulinho. He needs more rest than Iniesta.

 

[FC B]

If Busquets has fully recovered from his foot injury.

 

[PhilS]

I've seen no sign that he needs rest. He remains peppy at the end of games. Of course, it is bound to catch up to him sooner or later.

Up 4-1, resting him today would be fine. He will be needed undiminished for the CL semis, Copa del Rey final, and el clasico.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

As long as Busi is recovering and not 100% fit, Raki needs to play.

 

[te amo barca]

Raki-Busi double pivot is probably the most solid in the world atm. Our midfield is almost impenetrable if those two play.
