aouar as a winger didn't see him in that position for a long time. no terrier, 3 defenders, garcia picked a rather defensive approach. guimaraes and toko ekambi are winter signings, both played a good match vs metz last weekend, and this is going to be their first cl match.
please pjanic be good. otherwise, i'm calm. how times change: i'm usually shitting bricks in pjanic's absence (see juve-real 0-3), now i'd be happier if he was rested. either way, no excuses this time for neither pjanic, nor anyone else.
Leonardo Bonucci during the warm-up is shouting at everyone, above all Blaise Matuidi, who looked incredulous. Not sure what happened there, but was giving him a big old lecture.
Probably because Matuidi is on the bench and not quite taking the warm-up as seriously as the others who are playing. Miralem Pjanic also joined in with the telling off afterwards.
