He’ll demand a place in the starting 11 but hopefully he’s not fit and is as ineffective as he was in the CL final.

That's a good thing for us ... he has anyway not scored in last eight against us or something like that ... it's Son who always scores against us ... and Bale, always scores in Finals ... those two worry me more than Kane in the first place so if Kane starting means one of them (Son/Bale) sitting on bench then even better.
 
I hope that Sergio starts - don't care if he isn't match fit. Him simply being on the pitch will give their defenders something to think about.
And anyway, even though he is leaving us in a few weeks it is about time he got some of the game time that Pep said would help us win trophies. If he gets injured it will not be a loss as he hasn't played for ages so will not be missed (except by us fans)

So you want to treat a final like it’s a pre season friendly? I love Sergio, but this isn’t a game he should be starting.

I'm just preparing myself for yet another of Pep's multiple rotations and couldn't think of who he has available from the 'B' list.. I think he threw Ake into a game without any prior action (I could be mistaken though), so why not Kun.
 
Absolutely pumped for this. Feel it's needed after the week that's been and to follow on from the Villa win.

As other posters have said if we win this it will set us up well with PSG just around the corner.

Hoping we pick up where we left of from Villa, and Aguero nets one if he plays.

Hopefully not to much rotation from Pep for this final.

Because Sergio has had prior action and was worryingly off-the-pace. We had no reason to suspect Aké would be a significantly worse player than he was before the injury, whereas Agüero...

Fair enough
I am just praying for a win - 1981 still hurts because we were so close in the first game.
The only thing I am concerned about is that KDB plays - I'd give him a few more days rest so before the PSG leg
 
With PSG game so close its inevitable Pep will rotate heavily for Spurs. So expect something like this.

Steffen
Cancelo
Garcia
Ake
Mendy
Fernadinho
Bernado
Gundoghan
Torres
Jesus
Sterling.

5 subs to use if we need them.
As it’s PSG away 1st Leg Pep won’t want to risk his key defenders in Spurs game.

If Mendy starts we are a man down straight away.
