Umtiti - Injured for a long time, still finding old form.
Arthur - Backing up the rest of the "B" Team.
Vidal - Substitution for Arthur, same role.
Boateng - A backup striker to Suarez.
Malcom - Youngster who's looking for opportunity.
so yeah, i guess they were pretty much a second team. no excuses though, we were lackluster in attack. not enough attempts and pointless passing throughout the match.
And about Barça losing. Yes Its a lot better to lose a meaningless game with young players than winning it with the starting 11 while they have a CL game few days from now.

I hope this is a good chess move from valverde to rest his first eleven, but can someone show me a significant proof that this influences the next game, which is frankly quite important. One thing it influences for sure are the lucky teams to play against the top 6 in the remaining season, who indirectly are strengthening weaker LaLiga teams whose motivation gets boosted, and not to mention, the chance to practise. omg that's a long sentence. I profoundly apologize for that long sentence.
