The line up that Barcelona will play in this match is actually the best line up they have right now so in this case we definitely know that Barcelona will take this match quite seriously now even though their goals are definitely in La Liga and Champions League but there is actually no reason for them to back down especially this is a semi-final and the advantage is in their hands with a much better squad even though the performance is still not perfect at the moment.
Im hoping for a good result today for Barcelona because the reason is very clear that if they win this match we will definitely see El Clasico which is always awaited because it is a classic derby that is always worth watching in every appearance especially when it is a final even though the trophy is not as luxurious as La Liga or Champions League but of course we know there is prestige that must be maintained in this case.
Best line up? I don't think so, Ferran Torres is a damn bloody gambler, why's Joao Felix on the bench? Counting on both Robert Lewandoski and Raphina to perform in the game tonight.
Took a good look at the away form for Osasuna and they looked poor in the last four, the last game actually saw them keeping the first clean sheet and later going up to win the game.
Barcelona players should already be aware of who they be playing against, I doubt they'll attack Barcelona tonight, Barcelona will have to take the ball to them and invite them out, it'll be another tough night for Barcelona. Osasuna would be a hard nut to crack!!
I'm not going to argue with what you're saying in this regard but in any case what Xavi did I think was quite right.
Indeed Joao is still better in terms of performance and experience but on the one hand we also know that trying to continue to play Joao on the wing and not giving Ferran a chance in this attack could be a bad situation in the end.
We know for now the status of Joao is on loan and the end of the season is the end of his contract at Barcelona so if in the end Barcelona cannot afford to bring Joao to the squad permanently then there must be a replacement option and currently Ferran is the option especially when Gavi still has to rest for a long time so the decision in this match is actually very good and the result also with a 2-goal advantage is not bad because with this result it immediately brings them to the final and is ready to face Madrid.
