Koeman mulling over making many changes against Juventus

The coach could once again go for his Plan B in the Champions League

Jordi Delgado

Barcelona may make changes on Tuesday against Juventus after the Cadiz debacle.

Ronald Koeman, like the last two weeks in Europe, could make a few swaps and give younger players a chance. It worked against Dinamo Kiev and Ferencvaros.

Ronald Araujo might get minutes after recovering from injury, while Miralem Pjanic could also face his former side. WIth Ousmane Dembele's injury, Trincao and Pedri are likely to start.

Koeman needs to get the team circulating the ball at a better, higher speed, which could be a reason to play younger lads with fresher legs. It could be an experiment which becomes a project of its own.

Barca are already through and if they avoid defeat, finish top. Juve must win by two goals or more, but not 2-0, to beat the Catalans to that spot.

 

Neto is likely to play in goal ahead of Ter Stegen, although not because of the error he made against Cadiz.
