The last day of the phase of groups puts end to the Champions in 2017, and the FC Barcelona will look for a victory that needs more the Sporting. Having the requirement of the calendar, Valverde has opted by the rotations. These are the eleven elected
Last day of the phase of groups and the FC Barcelona will jump to the lawn of the Camp Nou with the duties done. The one who faces a reválida in search of the classification for eighth is the Sporting of Portugal, very pending of the Giorgios Karaiskakis but also of his own possibilities against the Barcelona. Valverde Stood out the requirement and the respect that requires the competition, by what in spite of the rotations, his will think in the Champions before putting his look in Villarreal.
For the duel, the Catalans arrive with the drops of Ousmane Dembélé, Rafinha Alcántara, Burn Turan, Javier Mascherano, Andrés Iniesta and Samuel Umtiti. There is not possible rest for the only central healthy, Gerard Hammered and Thomas Vermaelen, although if for some of his mates in the defence. Another of the big doubts, those that had aroused the presence of Leo Messi in the eleven initial, has resolved of negative way: The Argentinian finally will not be headline.
This is the XI of the Barça in front of the Sporting
XI of the FC Barcelona: Cillessen; Semedo, Hammered, Vermaelen, Digne; Gomes, Rakitic, Denis; Suárez, Alcácer and Aleix Vidal.
XI of the Sporting: Rui Patricio; Piccini, Coates, Mathieu, Bruno César; Battaglia, Carvalho, Ristovski; Bruno Fernandez, Coins and Alan Ruiz.
Bench of the Barça: Ter Stegen, Busquets, Messi, Paulinho, Deulofeu, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto.
This time there are some doubts with regard to a tactical training that it could repeat a 4-4-2 but also plant a 4-3-3, with the need of Valverde to dominate to a team that already showed to be very uncomfortable in the gone. With the rotations, the medullary will remain composed by Denis Suárez, Ivan Rakitic and André Gomes; and in the forward, Paco Alcácer and Aleix Vidal will accompany to Luis Suárez. Jasper Cillessen is the big novelty under the sticks.
The Sporting, by his part, will repeat the plan that gave good results in José Alvalade: Speed up, pressure asfixiante in the exit of balloon of the rival and a puntería that was missing him home and that needs if it wants to be in the following round. The classification is not directly in his hands, but the triumph is indispensable to dream with the pass.
