Wouldn't be surprised to see Pep go a bit different here. We don't need to win to go through.they aren't brilliant on the front foot, their best form of attack is on the counter, I wouldn't be surprised to see Pep go for both Rodri and Fernandinho sitting with one infront of those two and go for total control and minimal exposure to the counter attack.

Something like

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Fernandinho
Kdb
Grealish
Mahrez
Sterling


Seems mental to leave Bernardo out and to a slightly lesser extent foden and gundo but we can easily bring on those second half if we need to change it and add energy. We need to silence their crowd early, stopping them having the ball or any opportunities will wind them right up.

Pep will never play rodri and fern together
 
Don’t think there will be that many changes, given what’s at stake. Think Gundogan, Grealish and Mahrez will all start though.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan
Grealish
Mahrez
De Bruyne
 
I think Jesus should continue in the line up imo gives us so much more energy up front which could be vital in breaking down there style of football
 
Be careful if your out and about late with Chelsea and both Madrid teams there it could be a bit tasty stay safe and have your wits about you blues
 
Saw a stat saying Atletico have always progressed when they have been 1-0 down in the first leg. There will be a lot of tired legs, but this is a tough game, so I prefer we start our strongest players, get the tie done by half time and then rest for the FA semi-final.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Fernandinho and Ake starting, maybe Zinchenko as well. Gundogan for Kev is also another possibility, Pep might feel he needs some fresh legs in there
