If we can put out a full strength side and go for it like we did against Chelsea then we can beat them whether they put a strong side out or not. We will have to hope they aren't playing at their best which is possible since they don't need to win it. Plus they're not the peak Barcelona they were years ago.
There are things in our favour but the one thing I believe won't be is the Inter match. They're going to win that game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They may not be peak Barca, but they are still considerably better than spurs. If they aren’t bothered then you may have a chance....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You say that when we have 30 points from 13 games in the PL and they have 25 in La Liga. We're a pretty good side ourselves you know when we want to be.
Yeh that’s true sandy. Look, we have a small fighting chance and it’s in our hands. Win against Barcelona and it doesn’t matter if Inter beat PSV

Don, very annoying that Spurs are having an uphill battle to qualify, when such poor team like Man United have already gone through. That is why cup competitions are so hit and miss, the better teams do not always get through. Reason Liverpool got to the final, they had a very easy passage.

I know you are a good side, impressed with your footy at times
But they are a whole different level up.
Last year Barcelona similarly won the group after 5 games and then made 6 changes before their last game.
Team-sheet for their 6th game last year, with the team for the 5th in brackets:
Cillessen (ter Stegen)
Semedo
Pique
Vermaelen (Umtiti)
Digne
D Suarez (Busquets)
Rakitic
Gomes (Paulinho)
Vidal (Iniesta)
Suarez
Alcacer (Deulofeu)
Messi came off the bench in both matches, think he was coming back from injury at the time.
So, it is very possible that Barca decide to rest a few key players. If we go there with a high intensity gameplan there's no reason we can't spring an upset.

It does, doesn't it? Don't we need to match Inter's result?
We've had good results against Real Madrid, Dortmund and others in recent years.
Of course we can beat Barca. Even more so when you consider that they've already qualified top of the group.

I thought we just had to match their points from the last game as we have a better head to head (away goal).
Yes Edbo. PSV get a draw at San Siro which is possible and we draw against Barcelona, then we go through. But obviously we want to go for the win to make sure we are through. It’s in our hands.

We are.
We are still through Edbo. Inter are at home so can’t get anymore away goals. Match their result then we are through. They could win 8-0 it doesn’t matter.
If we were in Barca's position I would be very annoyed if we played anything other than a reserve team. But you know Kane would be banging Poch's door down to complain.
Given la Liga is very competitive this year I think it would be silly for their manager to play Messi and the big guns. Their second team is still very competitive though and would be a huge task to beat them.
Anyone else trying to get Barca tickets in the home end?
What is wrong with that club's site? I cant complete my purchase
Facking infuriating!!!
That’s what I was thinking. It’s such a meaningless game for Barcelona. Surely they won’t play Messi and Co
Go on Palmers!!! You off to Barcelona yeh ?

If Real Betis can beat their top boys then we can certainly get a result against their reserves.
I have booked a flight and hotel mate but cannot get a ticket through their fecking website.
It's so annoying. There are some left but the purchase won't go through!
Just had a look and they play Espanyol (5th and local rivals) on the Saturday before. That helps our cause.
Really expect them to at the very least rotate a lot
Shame Atletico couldn't have held on to beat them at the weekend. Would have left them in third place with surely both eyes on La Liga during our game.

No mate, the head to head between Spurs and Inter has already been decided, Spurs won that, because they scored an away goal in games between the two sides. Spurs only have to match anything Inter do to finish above them.
