I don't think it's going to be Messi vs Busq. More like Messi vs Moore. Busq is kind of the player you need when Messi drops back. He's good at cutting lanes and incepting opportunities before they develop.

Rensenbrink vs Puyol is more concerning for me. However Boniek vs Sagna makes it equal opportunity weakness.
 
Aye, that was what swung it for me: the 1v1 capabilities of Messi against Busquets and equally Rensenbrink against Puyol (who is a tidy fit but could be exposed against a nimble dribbler in wide areas).
I expected to lose because of those points, although I genuinely was more afraid of a midfield team with Lerby and not Didi in it (NB: only in this particular case!). With De Bruyne, Messi and Rensenbrink (and also Müller/Lerby/Rijkaard to be fair), you have tons of creativity already, and if that team was on a same wavelength, it would've been simply devastating. The core of Messi/Rijkaard/Scirea is also absolutely insane.

And another huge performance by Kevin tonight by the way. I wonder if anti-modern bias worked against @Šjor Bepo here.
 
That was a fantastic team and I wasn't at all looking forward to this game! It's nice to see Cruyff getting appreciated though. Tough luck @Šjor Bepo @Enigma_87

Was saying the same to Sjor yesterday. His stocks have risen recently along with Beckenbauer and both are genuine GOAT vote magnets, compared to what it was 2-3 years ago.

Good game @harms , you had one of the best teams out of the first round and can't begrudge you of the victory here.

Good luck going forward and you have the quality to go all the way!

Cheers, although I'm pretty sure that I'm going out in the next round, it's really hard to reinforce this team with all of the restrictions :)
