I don't think Pep will be as hung up on winning the title against the rags as we seem to be. With the title almost sewn up, his aim will be to give us the best possible chance of winning the CL. How he chooses to do this, I'm not really sure. He may keep playing a strong side to maintain momentum or he may play a slightly weakened side against the rags to keep something in the tanks for the second leg.We have nearly 3 weeks off now, so not sure we can really claim tiredness as a reason. More likely it could be a weakened team if he protects a few, but I have my doubts about that as pep tends to go strong most of the time.
Whatever he does will be a dispassionate decision made in the best interest of our chances of winning the CL tie rather than getting one over the rags.
