I think KDB is going to play the false 9, so just swap him and Bernado.Does the team pick itself? What’s your starting 11?
Here’s mine:
Ederson
Walker Dias Stones Zinny
KDB Nando Gundo
Mahrez Silva Foden

The only choice to make as I see it is Rodri or Fernandinho.
I think Fernandinho's the better player, in better form. But his legs might struggle against these, he had an absolute nightmare when he came of the bench against them the other week.
I think Pep might just go for Rodri.
Excellent use of vertiginous there.Wonder when the news will be in about whether Mendy plays. (No, not Benjamin…!) Because if they have to play Kepa they're in deep shit. I can't think of any top club — at least, not in England — where the drop off in quality between first and second choice keeper is so vertiginous.
Not arsed, I think they are similar standard.I thought that when he was subbed.
Cheers. Dosvidana. Prost. Slainte and UP THE BLUESI’m absolutely over the moon at that result tonight but I’m absolutely gutted I can’t call my Dad to talk about it and I’m sure there are loads of blues feeling very similar today for friends and family no longer with us.
Win or lose in Istanbul, we’ve made history today and I feel for every Blue that stuck with us through the shit but didn’t managed to see this day. Those of us that have seen it are so very fortunate. Little Citeh in the CL Final, well fuck me.
Anyway, here’s to the Blues that weren’t blessed to see this day!
Mendy will definitely start
Mendy will play, and Pep knows it, just tuchel mind games methinks
I genuinely think he will go for Fern, thought so before Sunday, and Ferns performance v Everton was superbI think KDB is going to play the false 9, so just swap him and Bernado.

Not sure mate. I saw tuchels interview yesterday and I got the impression Mendy would play. Tuchel seemed pretty desperate that he doesDidn't he whack himself against the post trying to save Villa's first goal, though? He looked in genuine pain. The beeb commentary made some mention of a possible cracked rib. Not sure whether it's worth having your best keeper playing through a huge match in pain, or having an absolute duffer in goal. Probably the first option, if I'm honest.
He was dropped in the shit big style. Not a lot you can do, when a faster opponent has the run on you.Yes, it was a great day last Sunday. Only downside for me was seeing Reuben treading water for the penalty. He has to be sharp and absolutely on it for the final as they all do. Am sure they will be but that moment goes to show how important individual concentration is.
