I’d play as close to that lineup as possibly Pep can. Allowing for tiredness. Maybe bringing Rodri in for Fern.
Lay down a marker.
Show that the FA Cup was an anomaly and put doubt in their heads for the CL final, shout they get there.

Hope Chelsea v Madrid goes to extra time and penalties.

Just want the 3 points or mathematical certainty as soon as possible now, so we can plan properly for the final.

Pep will go all out to beat them. Two or three changes I would guess. May be Rodri, Laporte coming in. Aguero/Sterling to add some freshness to front three.

Winning the league this weekend doesn't matter. We'll win it anyway, BUT if Chelsea beats Madrid, I'd go with our main XI:
- To show them we can beat them when we go with our best squad, and that'll be the result at the CL final. It gives us an edge mentally(even more if we beat them comfortably), and even better we'll celebrate the PL title in their faces.
- If we beat them, Chelsea needs to go full strength for the next 3 weeks against Leicester (PL and FA Cup final), Arsenal and Aston Villa(away) to secure their CL spot. Those are really difficult matches, so we will have the edge physically.
If Madrid beats Chelsea, then I don't care, rotate those who are physically tired.

Well, I think it's very important psychologically to beat this lot, and show that the semi-final no-show was an aberration that simply doesn't represent what we're about these days. Pep will rotate — obviously — but even a defence with Cancelo, Ake, Laporte and an attack with Kun, Jesus and Raheem is rather good, isn't it?
