A long-term friend in Barcelona and wise cule thinks that Pep Guardiola, having assured himself of qualification tomorrow for the semi-finals of the Champions League , should go on to the Bernabeu with his reserve team.
His reasoning? Beating Mourinho that way would make an even bolder statement about the philosophy of La Cantera – and even if Barca loses, it would not mean losing La Liga, while strengthening the first squad for the other challenges left in the season-the Copa del Rey and the road to Wembley.
Of course Pep won’t do it. He is expected to beat Real Madrid trophy hunting not just once but four times in the next month or so. Our cules mad to dream? Probably, but not certainly. This rivalry defies logic.
