You are missing the point. They don’t know how their players and system under Tuchel works in practice against our best team. Everyone knows the theory behind our play, but until they are on the pitch, they don’t know how well they can execute their game plan against us and whether it needs tweaking. And they still won’t know when they cross the white line in Istanbul. They will have a plan based on how we play, of course they will, but they won’t be sure it’s the right one. Giving them a test run, would give them a chance to improve on their first attempt. Why give them that luxury? No need for it.

also players involved makes massive impact .
Pep has tendencies to throw curve ball on top of that.

Exactly.
 
As long as Pep doesn't pull this matching them man for man with this three at the back in the CL Final, we're all good. This setup didn't get anywhere against them in the FA Cup Semi Final ... and if wants to try it again today it's fine as it doesn't matter ... but please please don't try it in that final in three weeks ... whatever the result today!
 
This looks like 3-5-2, or until we saw how it looks in the game at least. Fight fire with fire Pep, me like it. Easy 4:1 to us. CTID!

Do you want to win this game? If so isn’t it better to play a stronger first 11? Like I said before if we win great but if not we have handed our champ league finalists a psychological advantage.

Course i want to win the game, look at the players we’ve put out your telling me they can’t go on and win us this game ? Ederson Dias cancelo laporte rodri aguero Sterling Jesus etc
How will it give them a phycological advantage knowing they’ve beat was is seen as a 2nd string twice , now imagine this 2nd string beats them and 9 more in form players come in for the final. That will be a physological blow. We have come this Far rotating and keeping everyone on board what we’re trying to achieve they deserve to play and prove they can win us the league in a big game

I wonder how Chelsea will feel about the final if we beat them with this side.

Is it worse because our B team beat them, or is it better because the final will be completely different?

I can’t imagine either Manager see today’s game as indicative of how the final will be played. Both starting elevens will be significantly different.
