Sorry, it might be Lewandowski because if Atleti do the... I think you said last week, when they're caught between a rock and a hard place, do we defend this 2-0 or do we try and make a game of it and kill it off?
They usually defer back to the...
I think we're going to defend a little bit deeper.
And then you saw that ball from Luminia Mal to Ferran Torres.
It was into space for him to run onto.
They might not be, certainly early on, they might not be that space because Atletico could defend deep.
But if Basava were to get a couple of goals and Simeone's side have to come out later in the game,
then that's maybe the time for Ferran Torres to come on and run into that space.
So there's so many different ways this game can go.
It's funny because I would have gone the complete opposite of what you two guys were saying.
I would go with the legs to start with.
Because Atletico absolutely are going to hold their position and hold the line.
They're not going to be gung-ho and try and go and win this game.
And so I think if you use the legs of Fer and Torres to begin with, to close them and squeeze them, because Barcelona want to stand on the half, the back four wants to be on the halfway line.
That means that you can squeeze them early and in their own area.
And I think if you've got the legs of Fer and Torres to do that and you get a goal, then you can bring Lewandowski on.
I've gone completely the other way around.
I was the same earlier, but Luis convinced me.
Luis convinced me that it's going to be Lewandowski, which I kind of think it will be.
