I'm afraid we'll have to play a 4-1-4-1 again as Dantas isn't registered to play in the CL. Unless maybe Stiller is?

Nübel
Richards - Süle - Alaba - Hernandez
Javi
Gnabry - Müller - Musiala - Sané
Choupo

If stiller can play we should give him a chance with in a double pivot with Javi, then no Musiala next to Müller.

Edit: seems like Stiller is in the squad, so in that case I would prefer a 4-2-3-1 like

Nübel
Richards - Süle - Alaba - Hernandez
Javi - Stiller
Gnabry - Müller - Sané
Choupo

then, of course, I would give a chance for Musiala to sub Müller eventually, so he's not too tired for the Leipzig game. Coman and Douglas can come in as well to rotate and keep the wings fresh. If Pavard or Sarr aren't too tired, or if Süle isn't entirely fit, I would like to see Richards at RCB and Pavard or Sarr at RB. Or Hernandez at CB and Alaba at LB. This game should be interesting to watch and a great oportunity to test our youngsters.

Nübel
Richards-Süle-Alaba-Lucas
Javi-Stiller
Gnabry-Müller-Sane
Choupo

In such cases I think the streak is not just important for the record books but in psychological terms too. The more we win the more our players’ belief increases, and the more menacing we appear to our opponents in the games that matter. I fully support playing our best 11.

... Which could lead to overconfidence...

I'm not happy that we're ridiculing the Champions League by fielding a purposely-weakened squad.

We are not ridiculing the CL but our possible CL record. We already qualified as no. 1 team in the group with 12 points, but I want us to see winning 18 points once again and make something that nobody has ever done before.

Nübel being our GK tomorrow and the fact we are conceding goal(s) almost every single match...

Lmao it's not ridiculing the CL. We are taking benefit for our hard work put in to win the group in 4 matches. This season is unusual and we never had an offseason. Most of our guys are tired and fatigued. You have to take advantage of any opportunity to steal rest days at this point for the key players. Plus many of them are truly injured and dealing with muscle problems. There's zero problem with finally giving our most important guys a chance to finally recover a bit.

Do we need the belief though? I mean we are reigning champions in 5 competitions. It would surely worry me if the players don't believe they can win and need a near-meaningless victory against Atletico for their confidence boost.

BS... The CL is simply not an important competition for us CURRENTLY...

whatever you planned, just don't play 4141 with Javi as anchor, again, Hansi.

So happy that Nübel gets to see the pitch.
