Unit B again

More than 120 years of history in the two clubs and the Barça I had never played in Budapest an official match with him Ferencvaros. It is today's, therefore, a date with a sentimental point, because Hungary it was before Holland at Barça. Platko earned an ode from Alberti; Kubala is at the top of the club's historical players; Y Kocsis or Czibor They crowned a top team in the late 1950s. To play in Budapest it requires a special liturgy. Sure that Koeman, one of the main representatives of the Dutch school in the history of Barça, knows how to respect it no matter how much its main figure has been left at home (follow the game live on As.com).

Messi Therefore, he will not be able to take his private revenge with Budapest, the city that saw him make his debut with the Argentine national team. He was sent off when he had been on the grass for a minute. Koeman explained yesterday that Kiev and Budapest will be the last two opportunities to rest the Argentine, perhaps until the Cup. And at this point, and with no records in sight (for the first time since 2010, Messi will not reach 50 goals in a calendar year, he barely adds 24), the most reasonable thing seems to take a breath for the sprint of games that they wait for Barça until the end of the year.

It will be a laboratory Barça again. A unit B has even been reduced by so many casualties in addition to the breaks. Still, Koeman hopes to trace the Kiev match. Expect seriousness of Pjanic and Aleñá in the double pivot, the momentum of Dest on the side and the good time of the forwards. Braithwaite and Griezmann they have started to score; Y Trincão and Dembélé they also got very close in the last games.

The game has some importance, because the map of the groups in the Champions League anticipates that being the group leader will avoid a good handful of ogres. If Barça win, it will be enough for them to even lose by the minimum on the final day to be first. Messi will no longer rest there.
