Pep trusts this squad. Today's lineup was a statement to that, he expects professionalism and the job to get done. Sure, a loss could have come anyway, but it's the manner in which it came about. Should not be the case.

The City team at half time today

Weirdo.
We made our own luck. Mendy was getting absolutely rinsed by Reece James down the right, Rodri was too busy complaining to the ref when he should've made sure he was back in position defending. Pen decision aside, we should not have let them score like they did. It is not good enough.
Aguero's missed pen was not a turning point. We were still in control for majority of the game, should have created more. Another day the panenka comes off and we'd be praising him for the sheer audacity.

Yada yada.....
As for people who think we've 'shot ourselves in the foot as we'll have to play a strong team'
That was going to happen regardless. Today's rotation was also rather obvious. Pep may want rotation but he knows how important rhythm is. Those players will play and get games, as for injuries, we cannot guarantee anything.

We don't know that. I guess you can understand the fans being upset as they are our CL opponents, we just expected a bit more seriousness maybe.
Of course this won't be the way we play, of course it is not our strongest XI, and of course we will make changes and be a lot more aggressive. But all that said, let's not undermine them. They have made the CL finals after all, no matter how easy the route was. In a one-off game anything is possible. No first timers in a CL final have ever won it. Lots of other factors. We shouldn't be overanalysing the final right now, but the point is, we should also not be taking them lightly.
