As ever, we’re keeping a cautious eye on this one, as we’ve seen enough of coach Luis Enrique’s ability to surprise. We’ll have to wait until we’re sure of the choices he’s made within his great competition, the management of his squad and the precise analysis he’s made of his opponents.
Having played in the Champions League on Wednesday against Brest certainly counts for something, but there has also been some time to spare, and the Coupe de France quarter-final against Stade Briochin could provide an opportunity to give some of the senior players a breather. And they will undoubtedly need to put in a strong performance if they are to win in Lyon.
