Mikel Arteta

It's not going to change much from what we saw in the first game against Barcelona.

You could see today by the picks Simeone did against Sevilla, leaving most of the 11 starters on the bench waiting and rested.

I think he used in the second half a few minutes on Lokman and no much more.

The rest of the players...

I have been resting, not even warm up.

I saw Antoine Griezmann, Julian on the bench waiting to the end of the game.

So I think the Simeone's got very clear that he's going to stick with the same team, try to put exactly the same game with waves of pressure on Barcelona, playing at home sometimes with the crowd, you know, that you tend to show your presence, to try to dominate that sometimes.

But definitely knowing that you cannot give much space to this Barcelona today.

We saw another Barcelona with intention, with players that they moved from position in the middle of the park.

Gabi getting involved means that he doesn't have only the...

the possession, but the strength he brings, the energy he brings, is a leader into the pitch.

And even though there is not going to be Rafinha on the left side, Rashford, when he's been involved, he's looking good, he looks sharp, he looks determined to go forward and to try to score goals.

So I think there's plenty of options from both sides, but definitely Simeone has got the XI very, very clear and he's going to stay with it.

Yeah, I think that for me, I would start with Lewandowski.

He's a player who's got a lot of experience.

He's going to have a good work inside the box, try to stick with the two centre-backs, try to give a little bit of work to the defence.

He's a player that with his strengths can put in danger and allowing the players on the wide areas to run in behind.

So I think I would say that

For a dominated performance from Barcelona, having the ball, that's what I expect.

Having Lewandowski up front, I think, will be a fantastic start.
