He won't play. There's an asterisk on his name denoting he's not registered for UCL.

Look am well

Who else noticed that Busquet is becoming better. There's this calmness and maturity he brings to the midfield

Fear

Off to Naples, where Barcelona will be without five players, testing their already small squad. Alba, Sergi Roberto, Suárez & Dembele all inj. Braithwaite not registered. Six Barça B players travelling

Vidal Griezman Messi
Arthur Busquets De Jong
Firpo Umtiti Pique Semedo


This line-up should do.

Yeah bench Rakitic who kept misplacing passes the other day, while contributing nothing in attack.

Two years ago today, Lionel Messi broke a La Liga record with his 148th assist. He's now on 181.

Rakitic will start, hasn't it dawned on you people that Rakitic is really liked by Barca coaches since Enrique to Setien? Some fans smh

He had a poor game against Eibar. Poor in defending, poor in passing and poor in attack. We will see if the coach benches him, which would be deserved.

He won't start;

The established midfield trio is Busi, Jong and Arthur.

Rakitic is an integral part of our midfield, whether fans like it or not. I prefer FDJ, Arthur and Rakitic but Busquets is showing how awesome he is again and so is Vidal. But I think Rakitic will start today but if he doesn't, he will start against Madrid

Barca now have 2 aggressive attack minded players in Vidal and Braithwaite. The later can't play against Napoli but will trouble Madrid defense come weekend.

LOL, the same Rakitic that has been chopping bench all season?



we've played about 35 games this season, Rakitic never start pass 10 inside

bros, Rakitic is surplus to Barca now. Even Vidal has played more games than the according to you, "integral part of our midfield" player.


He's a bench player now who even Roberto and Vidal have played more league games than. Rakitic is currently our last midfielder in the pecking order

Setien's bad luck since becoming Barcelona boss



Quique Setien has seen his squad lose six players to injury since taking charge at Barcelona, with Sergi Roberto the latest to pick up a knock.

This is why Setien has opted to take five Barcelona B players to Italy for their Champions League last-16 tie against Napoli on Tuesday night, in addition to Ansu Fati, who has been in and around the first team since the start of the season.

While he was negotiating with Barcelona, Setien received his first blow: Luis Suarez would undergo surgery and what was expected to be a month and a half absence turned into four months, which practically means he's ruled out for the rest of the campaign.

Just a few days into his new role as head coach, there was further bad news as Neto was ruled out for three weeks with a strain, although this wasn't an issue as Marc-Andre ter Stegen was healthy.

Shortly afterwards, a concussion caused Arturo Vidal to miss the match against Levante.

The second major blow came with Ousmane Dembele as the Frenchman had ruptured the proximal tendon in his right femoral biceps, an injury that has seen him wave goodbye to the 2019/20 season.

Setien was confident that Dembele would come back from his previous injury and be an important player for him, but this fresh injury came at the worst possible time in that regard.

Also, with Dembele falling injured, it further dwindled down Setien's options in attack due to Suarez's absence as well.

In the last two games, there have been another two casualties.

Jordi Alba has again suffered problems in his adductor and will be unable to face Napoli or Real Madrid, with this being the third time he's picked up an injury this season, and it is unclear when he will return.

Finally, on Sunday it was revealed that Sergi Roberto will be out for three to four weeks.

The Catalan had become a vital player for Setien due to his versatility, with Sergi Roberto able to play at right-back, centre-back, central midfield and at right wing.

there is grumble as to how or what will happen with the Metsalla return leg as Spain don't want the virus in their country

I think Alba is even more surplus to requirements now than Rakitic.

Neymar was asked to name his top five players in the world and included two of his former Barcelona teammates.

Leo Messi and Luis Suarez were followed by current PSG strike-partner Kylian Mbappe, while Paul Pogba and Eden Hazard completed the list. There was no room for any of his Brazilian colleagues, nor Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar added that he would have wished to have played alongside Romario, Zinedine Zidane and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as well as Ronaldo Nazario, although he did play in the latter's testimonial.

Bernardo Silva wants to play with Messi amid Barcelona transfer talk.....

Cules, what's up??

Who should now go?

So Messi has 27 UCL round of 16 goals. Wow, who would have thought?

The guy and injury are becoming too friendly, Alba that used to be so reliable is now getting injured so frequently. Maybe it's because he is getting older

If Bernardo Silva comes we would have the heir to Iniesta's throne not Coutinho that isn't even starting in Bayern again. B. Silva is a work horse and can play very well in CM or at the wing and he can dribble too and won't have issues playing with Messi that's if he operates from the right not the left. B. Silva will gel extremely well in Barca, he can play possession, counter and when it's time to get down and dirty he will do so with relish for someone his size. He will do well IF we get him.
