The path of the FC Barcelona in the Glass of Rey has been practically intachable, but has arrived him again the hour of the truth. It touches to tie up the advantage against the Valency to be in the final, and Ernesto Valverde will throw of his best men
The FC Barcelona looks for the final of the Glass of Rey, and after fulfilling with a victory by the minimum in the Camp Nou, has to resist to the push of a Valency that has him many win. This Thursday from the 21:30 hours, will be Mestalla the one who dictate sentence, in an eliminatory of semifinals that confronts to the 'che' against the valid champion.
In the announcement of the FC Barcelona there are not too many surprises with regard to the absences, since Ousmane Dembélé and Thomas Vermaelen apuran the straight final of his recovery and Denis Suárez and Lucas Digne go back to be the sacrificed by technical decision. The most important news in the list is the presence of Gerard Hammered, that could risk to throw a hand to his. This is our forecast for the party:
Cillessen
In his second year in the staff does not want to remain without the trophy to the that more esteem has. For Jasper Cillessen the priority are the titles, but if they can go through his hands, better that better. The Dutch has experience in semifinals complicated, so much with his selection like the Barça, and will try to repeat the big performance that cuajó does hardly a year against the Athletic of Madrid. It is prepared.
Sergi Roberto-Hammered-Umtiti-Alba
In spite of that the majority of the places are confirmed, the defence has been the big incógnita of the week, and only will resolve when they remain few minutes for the party. The sides will be, except surprise, for Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba, and Samuel Umtiti has guaranteeed a square in the centre of the defence. For who will be the another? As all indicates that for Gerard Hammered, that will play the type for scalar until the final. If finally the Catalan is not of the initial game, Yerry Mina, Sergio Busquets or even Nélson Semedo could replace him.
Rakitic-Paulinho-Busquets-Iniesta
Everything will depend on as it configure the defence, but in the medullary neither expect a lot of changes. The presence of Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets seems innegociable, and it will be necessary to see that it decides Ernesto Valverde with the rest. Andrés Iniesta and Paulinho would be the most logical options, although it neither is descartable some alternative. André Gomes, Philippe Coutinho, Aleix Vidal or Paco Alcácer also could have a place.
Messi-Suárez
His understanding was decisive to arrive to Mestalla with advantage, and there is not greater guarantee of goal that the series of two forwards of maximum level. Leo Messi and Luis Suárez will put the magic, the harp and the necessary gunpowder to arrive to the final, and depends on how give the meeting could have some companion.
