It's the biggest match of the season so far for Luis Enrique and his crew, as Barça takes on FC Bayern at Camp Nou in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals. With starting center-back Jérémy Mathieu out due to injury, Lucho will have to make an interesting decision. Who is he lining up for tonight? We have an idea:
Stegen; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar
- Out: Jérémy Mathieu (Achilles)
Neuer; Rafinha, Boateng, Benatia; Lahm, Alonso, Schweinsteiger, Bernat; Thiago; Lewandowski, Müller
Out: Ribéry (ankle), Robben (leg), Alaba (knee), Badstuber (leg), Rode (hamstring)
Pep Guardiola's teams, especially Bayern, are always ridiculously difficult to predict, but the narrow options due to injuries make that job a little easier, especially now that Sebastian Rode, perhaps the most versatile (and easily the most underrated) player on the squad, is also going to miss the match due to injury.
