how can you be so sure? they are already qualified and might not care too much for the game.
Cause Sporting are honestly garbage. A Barca 2nd team could probably beat them at home

they play a fast paced physical game but they aren't very good. They won't be able to keep up the early tempo they've tried against us for very long, especially not when they barely have 35% of the ball

The Good: Benatia, Dybala, Costa, Sandro (at times), the midfield after Bentancur and Marchisio came on

The Bad: Khedira, Cuadrado, Sandro (at times)

The non-existent: Higuain.
Of course he was non-existent. He had more defensive tasks than attacking ones. You can't score having the ball 30-40 meters from the goal, can you?

It’s plain and simple. Forget thinking about Barca/Sporting game. It’s in our own hands now. I’m undecided what Juve will turn up.

Sporting are not garbage, but your post is close to being so

May I also add this thought, I feel that all our problems would be solved if he played with 3 at least in the midfield, the Khedira-Pjanic midfield is terrible and embarrassing. It was very obvious in Cardiff and the last 2 months its getting exposed on every game, everyone attacks us through the middle, without Pirlo, Marchisio or EVEN HERNANES the way is open till goal, where we also lost the sweeper Bonucci

It was a solid defensive performance and that too against barca (sometimes people forget there is another team playing also)

So far this season we've been open leading to lots of goals conceded, but we've also racked up lots of goals

To compensate, like a see saw, we needed this overly defensive performance after conceding 3 to sampdoria

Hence, we are slowly getting closer to finding a balance, and its good to know we have both aspects of the game in our arsenal

We need to remember this team hasnt had much time to do this in practice this month with the international break and matches every 3 days

What the fuck. Barca was just trying to hold possesion all game, and we let them. They are totally touthless without Messi and we still decided to defend with 11 men on the last 1/3 of the pitch.
That was not a good defensive display, it was just an awfull showing of full on pussy tactics. No heart, no guts and no glory. Fuckong embarassing to watch one of the best teams in the world not beying able to string 3 passes together.

Barca only beat them by an own goal the first game, barca also tied oly 0-0 so really no gaurentees at all

Barcelona didnt even tried for most of the game...

Thats how bad we were
Yeah, they could have put us to the sword fairly easily if they so wished.

Just the technical ability of each of their players to control the ball and make a pass is like night and day compared to ours.
