If KDB gets a yellow card, He will lose the final match?

No. Only a red card in the second leg to make a player miss the final

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I wonder if Ferna coming off early and Rodri playing the whole game today means ferna will start.

I think it does mean that.

Good to know we've got a sharp Sergio and Fernandinho on the bench.

That's the exact team that I'd go for and I thought it would be the team that Guardiola selects but with Fernandinho being subbed fairly early today, I have the feeling he'll go with 2 DMs which I think would be a mistake. Our overall play tends to suffer when we have 2 DMs.

Of course he could just go with Fernandinho but our best performances have been with Rodri, Gundogan and Bernardo and the central 3.

If he was going with two DMs he would have subbed Rodri. I think it will be a straight swap.

Please can we score first and early

Possibly. I hope we start with Rodri, Bernardo and Gundogan though.

DiMaria and Verrati rested
For a title decider no less!
Mbappe injured but Neymar playing

I reckon Pep's thinking is if we are ahead with 15/20 mins left is to give fern that time to defend our lead

Still wondering why Fernandinho got taken off after 60 today? Could be a double pivot with Rodri.

Annoying thing on Tuesday (sort of) is that scoring first makes very little difference. They need to score twice whatever. I’d quite like to score the first 3. That may make me chill out a little bit but I can’t guarantee it.

Well let’s hope they drop points today, lose to us and win fuck all of import.

it makes a difference. Scoring no goals and conceding 2 means goodnight.... scoring 1 goal and conceding 2 means atleast Overtime.

But the best result it shouldn‘t come to that point. A 2-0/2-1/1-0 victory is fine too

Believe me, I’m well aware of the maths. My point is that conceding two (or more) is the only thing that can fuck us, scoring first makes only a small difference to that. I won’t feel warm and snuggly inside heading into extra time.

Also, “overtime” get the fuck out of here.

Lad I know has stuck £100 on PSG to win at 4/1. I couldn't do it

So is Bakker. I thought he was one of their best players last Wednesday.

Think Rodri played himself out of a start on Tuesday with his passing today. Hence Ferdi coming off.

How much it matters

But what if they get a touchdown in that period?

 

[Harrilew]

Might be over thinking bit.....but would it be too much of a change/risk to put gundo at 6 to ensure the ball is retained, and early goal is (potentially) scored...

Ederson
Walker stones dias zinch
Gundo

Maybe its too much, and Ferna/rodri has to be in there
