I agree about the result, and expect a committed performance today from the team, FWIW.If you’re worried about effort, the kids will put a shift in, I wouldn’t worry about that. Pep never tolerates anything else. Whether they can get a result is a different matter. Whilst I always want City to win there’s nothing significant to read into anything that happens and any “performance” today will be irrelevant to next weekend because it will be a different City team
I am not sure I agree, though, that the performance today will be completely irrelevant to next weekend, as Pep will be assessing who should and not participate in the opening league match today, largely based on the shift they put in. And I also tend to think everything is connected in some way, however small the influence, so I see each game in a close series having at least some impact on the one before and after.
