Every team is an impossibility, but we must remain cautious since nothing is certain with these lineups. Luis Enrique doesn’t give any instructions to the media, who must try to anticipate his choices. These choices stem from a precise analysis of the opponent, each player’s playing time requirements, and the competition for places.
All this within a squad where he cultivates versatility, leaving himself several options. Not forgetting the lingering doubts about some players’ ability to play 90 minutes after various physical setbacks, and others who have played a lot of matches in quick succession.
As always, we’ll wait for the official team announcement, about an hour before the match, to have any certainty.
