Zapping Our Mondial Adrien Rabiot at Juventus Turin: the wrong choice? Philippe Genin’s opinion
It’s a final before its time. For many, the winner of this meeting could win the Champions League. FC Barcelona face Bayern Munich, two ogres of European football in search of redemption in this competition. If the Bavarians appear favorites in view of their exceptional form and their recent treble, Barça has a strong argument: Lionel Messi. Let us study together the two probable team compositions.

For this meeting, still no Arthur (discarded), Martin Braithwaite (not recorded) or Samuel Umtiti (injured). Antoine Griezmann should start on the bench after his still sluggish performance against Naples in the previous round. Quique Setién should adopt a 4-4-2 diamond. Sergio Busquets a notch lower would allow Frenkie de Jong, Sergi Roberto and Arturo Vidal to squeeze the opposing midfielder higher. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez would complete the attack.

Only one absent to denote for Hansi Flick: Benjamin Pavard injured. Otherwise, we would stay on the classic 4-2-3-1. A Jérome Boateng hinge – David Alaba, Joshua Kimmich on the right and Alphonso Davies on the left. In the middle, Léon Goretzka and Thiago in construction and Thomas Muller in pure 10. The attacking trio would remain unchanged.
