However, it did it of way forced this time, because of the absences of Javier Mascherano and Gerard Hammered in the defensive saga, in addition to the will to give rest to the two carrileros "titled".
It was therefore by what Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba remained in the bench, when being very loaded of minutes since it began 2017 and, therefore, having of time of rest to face of the best possible way next Tuesday the party of gone of eighth of final of UEFA Champions League 2016-17 against Paris Saint-Germain in the Park of The Princes.
Luis Enrique, conditioned by the drops in the Barça
Javier Mascherano will be some weeks of drop by fault of an injury in the biceps femoral, whereas Gerard Hammered gave the surprise to the not going in in the list of summoned this past Friday, by fault of some annoyances.
All this propició that this Saturday could see on the lawn of Mendizorroza an atypical defence in the Barça, and that never had been ranged up to now: Aleix Vidal, Samuel Umtiti, Jeremy Mathieu and Lucas Digne.
The tarraconense was the only in breaking the "French tuning", and the reality is that it can not say that it treat of a defence that have big synergy in commitments of elite, since never before they had played together.
In any case, Luis Enrique left in the bench to players like Andrés Iniesta, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto to give them gone in when it was necessary, in the case that the things did not work properly on the terrain of game for the interests culés.
