Valverde Seated to Coutinho and Arturo Vidal against the Lyon!

The FC Barcelona had a key drop of face to the party of gone of the eighth of final of the Champions League: the one of Arthur Melo, that suffers a muscular injury in the sóleo of his left leg. Thus, the eleven of Ernesto Valverde to play in front of the Olympique of Lyon saved the incógnita on who would occupy the place of the Brazilian.

Finally, the doubts cleared little more than an hour before the party, when the FC Barcelona did official that would be Sergi Roberto the one who would play beside Ivan Rakitic and to Sergio Busquets in the medullary. The Catalan, advanced like this his usual position of right side to leave him the lane to Nélson Semedo, that is in a good moment of form.

Of course, so that Sergi Roberto went in in the eleven, fell two important players, that began from the bench: Arturo Vidal and Philippe Coutinho. The Chilean split like the player with more options of suplir to Arthur, but his last performances, quite discreet, did that the Txingurri opted by another option.

Coutinho Neither went of the game in the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, although the suplencia of the Brazilian saw to come. With an Ousmane Dembélé totally recovered, the French had all the ones to win him the game to the carioca. The ex of the Liverpool neither likes to the Txingurri like interior, by what finally remained without place in the eleven.

So much Arturo Vidal like Philippe Coutinho will have to work hard if they want to recover his place in the alignments of the FC Barcelona. The presence of a Nélson Semedo grown does that Sergi Roberto, that surrenders well almost any position, was a joker for the Txingurri in the centre of the field. The Chilean and the Brazilian have to put the batteries when it give them opportunity.

The 'MSD', indisputable for Valverde

The French, of the same way that Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, is an intocable in the forward since it snatched him the place to Coutinho. The 'MSD' has beautiful challenges by in front.
