[La Liga - Jornada 38] FC Barcelona - Deportivo La Coruna Tumblr_mx0uqbotcb1rjnrw2o3_500

Predicted Starting XI:

Bravo; Montoya, Pique, Bartra, Adriano; S. Roberto, Xavi, Rafinha; Messi, Neymar, Pedro.

OPTA Facts:

Barcelona claimed their 23rd La Liga title last weekend.

The Catalan giants are unbeaten in nine league meetings with Deportivo, winning seven and drawing two.

The Galicians have only taken one point from their last eight league visits to the Camp Nou (D1 L7), failing to even score in their last four.

Barcelona are unbeaten in 13 league games (W12 D1); their best run under Luis Enrique.

Luis Enrique’s Barca side will finish the season with at least 93 points; that’s already six more than Pep Guardiola managed in his first campaign in charge.

Deportivo are without a win in eight away league games (D4 L4), failing to score in half of them.

Depor have drawn more games 0-0 than any other La Liga side this season (6).

Victory in this game would guarantee safety for the Galician side.

suarez to regain some fitness for half a game
and perhaps we wont play mats or bravo but masip

by billy_gr Thu 21 May 2015 - 10:15

All regulars should start with MaTs between the posts.
It shouldn't be intense and everyone who plays against Juve should stay active IMO

by Donuts Thu 21 May 2015 - 10:20

i think a week vacation would do good for our starters after such a crazy two months of 2-3 games every 7 dayd

by neuro11 Thu 21 May 2015 - 10:26

dont think we will rest out front three for entire game...also no point in resting MatS but i think Bravo will play which might even be his last game with us - who knows.

by The Sanchez Thu 21 May 2015 - 10:45

I believe MATS should play the next 2 games given that he will be playing in goals for the final
Front three won't all play at the same time. Suarez will come on after half time.
Montoya, Bartra, Adriano, Pedro will all start imo.

I assume Bravo will be here next season and play Copa... Perhaps even LE keeps him as Liga starter... who knows.

I think we'll mix it, playing some starters and some rotation. I see Messi starting. Something like:

MATs

Montoya - Bartra - Mathieu - Adriano
-----------Roberto
---Rafinha ----- Xavi
Messi -- Suarez -- Pedro

Messi and Suarez probably will be subbed in the second half.

by Donuts Thu 21 May 2015 - 11:53

is our B team still have a chance to not get relageted?
if they are mathematically not out then i can see messi/suarez starting for munir to go back to b team.

by The Franchise Thu 21 May 2015 - 12:56

There is still a chance they dont get relegated. The won a dramatic game on the weekend 3-2. Hailovic scored the winner.

by Deja Vu Sat 23 May 2015 - 14:23

Squad: Bravo, Masip, Montoya, Adriano, Alba, Mathieu, Bartra, Mascherano, Vermaelen, Douglas, Xavi, Iniesta, Sergi Roberto, Rafinha, Pedro, Munir, Neymar Jr and Messi.

So, the players missing are: Ter, Pique, Alves, Rakitic, Busquets and Suarez.

by MSN FTW Sat 23 May 2015 - 14:31

So Alves maybe played his last league game for us. Harsh, but there's a cdr final next week.

Yeah, I mean there is a mathamatic chance but its time to accept reality. The team isnt good enough, some individuals may be good enough for the even first division, but its teams which get results.

1-0 Messi, header. Nice ball by Rafinha.

by RealGunner Sat 23 May 2015 - 18:47

Pedro lmfaooooo How can you miss that.

Fairplay to the GK though

by jibers Sat 23 May 2015 - 19:05

Mathieu is a terrible side back.

by windkick Sat 23 May 2015 - 19:51

So with those 2, how many goals does messi have vs Cristi?

by The Franchise Mon 25 May 2015 - 12:53

Im going to go ahead and say it. Douglas played quite well in the minutes he had Laughing

by windkick Mon 25 May 2015 - 17:50

Let's not ignore Verminator beasting.

The grace of Baresi, the aggressiveness of Puyol and the looks of Jude Law. What a lad. :bow:

by neuro11 Tue 26 May 2015 - 15:26

Bartemou agent should stop the false campaign Mad

by windkick Tue 26 May 2015 - 15:54

Suarez still a doubt for the Bilbao game, hope he can get fit soon
