Rico coming for Akanji should work since Vini isn’t going to out muscle him. Hopefully Rico doesn’t get caught out and need to play catch up
 
Rico up against Vini Jnr.
What could possibly go wrong?
Much more to do with our build up. It’s been noticeable that Akanji and Gvardiol have both been tucked in alongside Stones, which is a role Pep is always going to earmark for Lewis over Nunes or Khusanov
 
I’m actually surprised we are not 4-0 down
Consider we don’t have Nico
We’ve played better than I think some realise.

Real are not at their best, to be sure, but they are still a very good side and on their day can beat anyone. We were never going to restrict them to no chances. We didn’t even do that when we dismantled them in 2023.

For me, aside from a few slips and one bad decision passing out from the back, that is in the running for our best 45 minutes of the season thus far. Lowish bar compared to previous seasons, sure, but everything is in the trends and this bodes will in my opinion.
