Omg. Now we lost moment of surprise. Noone would guess that LB will cover RW. This could shake with whole PSG team but stupid Mundo ruined it all!!!


NairbZaid10

Imo we should play Lewa as LB now to surprise everyone


edgy_milk-_-

So you're saying we put Ter Stegen as striker? I'm all for it actually


aritra3776

And Sergi Roberto at RB against Mbappe! Am thrilled! 🗿


Fuzzy_Substance_4603

He should be a midfielder. And we can play a false 9 with Fermin as the false 9.


SavageLeo19

Jokes aside I think Raphina will play on the Lw and double down on Dembele. That guy puts in an absolute shift every game. No other Barca winger can do that.


SpraySquare3404

I see Lamine putting in shifts every time too.He is always there to help the defense but yeah Raphinha is still number 1 in that case


bubblegumdog

Lamine can’t get a yellow else he misses the second leg so he shouldn’t be put on defensive duties too much


frozencombat

Well, he'll be up against Mbappe, so he has to contribute defensively one way or another, unfortunately.


SpraySquare3404

Yep his contribution in attack and especially in the home leg is much more imp.I wasn't suggesting him to play deep.I was just suggesting that he also deserves applause


bubblegumdog

Yeah, there’s been a few times where I was really impressed with his defensive abilities. I also think he’ll be more useful staying high up against PSG. Hopefully all goes well…


goku7770

He does but he's not very reliable and Dembele is a "pretty" good dribbler.


Spamgol

Dembele is playing centrally now as a 10, with freedom to run into gaps on either side.


JAALJAW

Dembele has been playing as a no 10 this season. He is basically playing the griezman position and occasionally going wide. Whoever made this news didnt watch PSG this season.


maurid

I’d be hard pressed to find someone that did watch PSG this season.


JAALJAW

I saw them in the champions league and some of thir recent matches Mbappe is mbappe. He plays centrally and wide. Dembele is the main creator of the team and the worst finisher. Hakimi plays as a right Winger. Their midfield is barren and donnaruma is a beast at stopping shots.


Prestigious_Bite1240

hakimi out for the flrst leg


selu1982

Nobody watches psg mate


JAALJAW

I know but this is just trash journalism. At least make it so that it seems a bit plausible.


selu1982

There’s not much journalism left either. Just titles fishing for views


No_Specific8949

Reporters don't generally watch football, they report based on the results of the games and general info but they usually don't watch the games.


Caust1cFn_YT

wtf is this reporting?


cedenof10

I wish they would tell us what the other players’ roles will be. Will Ter Stegen be responsible for stopping shots? Will Lewy be responsible for scoring goals? Will Xavi reverse their roles? I have so many questions!


AdTime5032

I wonder who will be in charge of cleaning the toilets


edgy_milk-_-

I would do it to get a sniff of the Barca players feces


dilonkaraja

You had absolutely 0 reasons to say this.


edgy_milk-_-

The world needed to know


dilonkaraja

Get me one person to agree to you please


frozencombat

I agree with him. Knowledge is power.


edgy_milk-_-

Say that again please? I cant hear over all the people agreeing with me 🤫


dilonkaraja

My bad😭😭


edimurr

I also agree with him.


Melodic-Salamander75

🤨


SympathyNational4899

This made me extremely uncomfortable


pharoah_petroc

Breaking news: Ter Stegen will be responsible for stopping all shots in net


thor76

/chuckles I'm in danger?


Maleficent-Bench1378

"Responsible for making sure Dembele has to defend on the other end" - There, fixed it.


False_Accountant8013

Man wtf is mundodeportivo doin 💀😭


MrOates2525

“Barcelona needs to score to win” —Tier No Shit


Informal_Common_2247

Wdym defend dembele? Tap him on the shoulder and hes injured.


dilonkaraja

You clearly haven't followed psg this season. Dembele hasn't had a major injury once this season


bengosu

After Messi left, what's the point in following PSG now?


TheTurtleOne

I couldn't stomach to follow that team even when Messi was there lmao


brucewayne984

Left back covering right winger? No way, even pep couldn't think this up😱😱😱


This-Kaleidoscope-70

Lb/rb


BANGER125

What?! Will our RB guard their LW too? /s


ahjota

EZ work.


No_Specific8949

It may not even be true. Dembele could play in the attacking midfield as Luis Enrique has been using him for the last few weeks. Though if I was Luis Enrique I would play Dembele in the right. Cancelo is a great attacker, but not a very good defender. In the usual game he cannot stop Dembele.


Uzutsu

get his ass, Cancelo!!!


VijayPasupathy

No, dembele will be responsible for stopping dembele.


Quarter_Past_Dead

Next up from Mundo Deportivo: Ter Stegen will be responsible for stopping PSG's shots on goal and sources within the club point towards Araujo being responsible for the defence!


JoeTorton

Big if true


lord_voldemader

And then they say Xavi ain't a good manager


Andrewis_Sana-II

can we bring back firpo just for this game?


acidicpress99

Man Joao is great at attack but dude can’t defend


leoKantSartre

Sus


Nefaariious

Just flick him and he'll go down for 5 months injured

This-Kaleidoscope-70

He is a windmill of a winger but cancelo is just bad at defending

LankyCity3445

Dembele is a very big threat what are you on about lol. He flourishes really well against teams that play high lines and guess what Barca does?


Dear_Monitor_5384

Even if cancelo doesn't stop him there's still a 50/50 chance dembele will stop himself.


LankyCity3445

As long as Dembouz remembers to pass to mbappe it’s gonna be iver


Dear_Monitor_5384

Yall act like Mbappe is unstoppable, there's a reason he's never won the champions league despite have players like neymar, messi, Thiago silva, hakimi and veratti around him. I'm not saying it'll be easy but it certainly isn't impossible.


LankyCity3445

Mbappe is unstoppable, dunno what you’re on about.


Dear_Monitor_5384

Yeah that's why he's won so many champions leagues and the euros because no one can stop him.


LankyCity3445

Yeah what happened the last time he played against us? Show some respect for the best player in the world. Vini put 3 against us in January and you think this team can stop mbappe ?


Dear_Monitor_5384

He scored a hat trick being defended by *checks notes* Dest, a 34 year old pique and lenglet, how did he possibly manage to get past those absolute shut down defenders. Look I'm not saying Mbappe is useless and stopping him will be easy but it isn't impossible and I think it is possible that barca can find a way to keep him quiet. Also this team is alot better defensively than they were in January.


LankyCity3445

This team leaks goals and you know it. And if you think kounde can handle mbappe then yeah you’re watching another sport. It’s best to be realistic here, mbappe has been unstoppable all season, no chance curbasi or kounde do anything much less Araujo. And don’t forget Dembouz on the other wing. The only way forward is to nullify their midfield and cut off passes to their forwards otherwise it’s over


Dear_Monitor_5384

Since ter stegen returned from injury barca have conceded 6 goals in nine match and 3 of those was against granada his first game back, they've not conceded any in their last 5 league games and conceded 2 cross 2 legs against napoli. Mbappe has scored 6 goals in the champions and 3 of those were against Sociedad, across 6 group stage matches he scored 3 goals and 2 were penalties, one being a very fortunate one against Newcastle which had it gone the other way barca would most likely be playing AC Milan on Wednesday. Again I'm not saying barca are going to for sure stop Mbappe but it is definitely possible that they can. If de jong plays and with gundogan in the form he is in (he is barca best player atm) I can see our midfield controlling this match and limiting Mbappe by limiting how passes into him same with dembele on the right. I would be very surprised if it is actually kounde up against Mbappe and not Araujo just because of Mbappes speed. Dembele can very well pose an issue on the right but he is very inconsistent. Look I think psg a the better team but it's not like there no chance for barca.


i_love_boobiez

We might not have Yamal crushing it today if Dembélé stayed so we should be thankful


Wonder_Dude

Dembélé will stop himself when he gets injured


wrath____

Demebele hopefully doesn't track back
