MSG returns as Barcelona's trident!
Yes, people. Quique Setién has decided to reunite the MSG trident again for the match at Camp Nou. After months of not seeing these three headlines, the picture has changed.
XI of Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Piqué, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Vidal, Arthur; Messi, Griezmann and Luis Suárez.
Setien's words before the game against Athletic
During the pre-game press conference on Tuesday, Quique Setién mentioned how difficult this rival will be for Barça:
"Athletic is a team that defends itself well and it is difficult to harm them. Normally, we control the weight of the game, but they manage their options. It will take patience."
After a draw that cast doubts for the squad, the players are obliged to get the three points before a mid-table table. However, the Basques are no flan, the last time they met in LaLiga, the victory was for Athletic 1-0 with a goal from the eternal Aduriz.
Now without the legendary scorer, the team led by Gaizka Garitano will seek to emulate the formula of last August. Under this narrative, Athletic is still with the illusion of qualifying for the Europa League and there is still time to achieve it.
The Blaugrana will receive the Basques practically with a full car; Except for the losses of Sergi or De Jong, Barça does not present major inconveniences for this day. It may even be that we finally see the longed for 700 goal of Lionel Messi, who after the return has not scored a double; but on paper those from Bilbao do not know defeat after the restart; They accumulate two draws and a win.
