It is absolute must win for us too and they know that .a park the bus and counter attack is their biggest hope .
they know they are practically relegated tbh and they might be more motivated to make us lose some points so they make some headlines
It's not an absolute must win for us as it is for them. For them if they don't win this game, they will relegated 100%, and if Barca dropped points, there's still a good chance to win the la liga because RM for sure will also drop points by going through that hell like schedule. Obviously the best scenario is to win the game, but I'd rather not risk our key players if we could still win the game comfortably with our bench players. Can always sub in the important players if it didnt work well. Can't see Madrid winning all the games in that crazy schedule like we gone through. Sevilla juventus valencia and then juventus, all separated by 3 days or so.
Ideally, I'd like to see at least one of MSN to be rested, busquets to be rested, alba playing half time, alves rested, rakitic half time, Rafinha to start, iniesta half time. All our players must play cautiously when we gone ahead and must play to cruise the game and main mission is to avoid injury and stay fit to prepare for the bayern game.
