I think Barcelona's going to win this game.

It seems to me recently that every time Atletico Madrid get themselves in a position where you start talking about them being favourites to win a game, a big game, they somehow seem to always let you down.

So I'm going to go for a Barcelona win here.

Sorry, there's a recipe for, as Ian said, with their home form and against Barcelona, there's a recipe for them, how they have really destroyed this back line, particularly early on in that Copa del Rey semi-final, first leg.

And you would always sit here and look at it and go, right,

Does Hansi Flick look at that and learn a lesson and try something different?

And the answer is no.

So those opportunities are going to be there again, particularly early on.

It's whether Atletico Madrid can reproduce that.

Those moments, those passes, those runs, those finishes that really...

Certainly destroyed him in that first leg.

I mean, it was close in the second leg in the end.

I thought it was always going to be.

But the blueprint is there for how you'd really get this side at home.

The big question is whether they could do it again.

I don't trust him, but I don't trust Basa at the back, and I don't trust Basa.

to try and change the way they do things, because he's already said a million times, a hundred times, they will not.

It's whether they can reproduce the possession and the guile that they had brilliantly in that first 45 in the Copa del Rey.

If they do that again, then they could be two or three up before you know it.

I mean, it's an intriguing match.
