Well.. it kind of is. On the other hand, when you watch a 2 minutes video and everything that came from Barcelona follows the same template, that should tell you something.
They will definitely score (as in awesome team move results in a goal), or we will definitely concede (as in defensive lapse/brain-fart, napping on a corner, misplaced pass).
I still think we should edge this, or it could end in a draw. I want us to preserve our proud record, and ensure we have a shot when we go to Spain in two weeks time.
I hate the way we defend with this two banks of four. I think we get drawn out of shape a lot easier nowadays. The RM and LM don't have a good understanding with the RB and LB on who to mark, when to double etc. Sometimes Alves is in midfield and Cuadrado is at RB ffs. Then the two CMs shift too much laterally sometimes. I much prefer 5 across the midfield. The extra player in the centre makes a big difference.
I don't think we defended well against Napoli and they play a similar setup with their threats on the wing and constant movement in and out of the spaces.
Atletico succeeds with this 4-4-2 defensively but their two strikers make it like a 4-6-0 as they sit right on top of the CMs so in the end it's different.
I expect us to concede a couple goals but I think we can score a couple as well.
Mascherano to sign a 3 year contract, joining our first team immediately (as Rugani back up)
Neymar to sign a 4 year contract, but is afraid he's tactically inept, so before joining Juve, he'll play on loan for Sassuolo, to show his worth and gain Serie-A experience.

Then after his season with Sass, he wins the WC with Brazil and like all Brazilians, loses his motivation, so his Juve career is short lived and he returns to Brazilian football by 2019
This wait felt like an eternity. Lets make this count, come out confident and hungry. We can beat them, and they've never looked more vulnerable than now.
Typical rigged game. they beat us in the final few years ago and we get to meet them few years later.and we get to beat them yaay! sweet revenge. fuck it let's lift this trophy. football is dead ever since 06 in Berlin.
I think we will combine pressing with patient approach, changing the tempo during the game. And we will definitely attack them since their defence is shit.
