If there's one criticism levelled against Pep Guardiola's greatness as a manager it's that he is prone to overthinking his team selections when it comes to the Champions League.
Fans can still recall the disappointments against Lyon, Tottenham and in the final against Chelsea in 2021, and so images of Jack Grealish in goal during training caused more than a few heart palpitations among supporters.
While fans took the photos of a diving Grealish - who seemed to struggle against his team-mates' firepower - in jest, it quickly became a running joke that here was Guardiola's latest twist.
Only a few hours earlier had Guardiola himself acknowledged the tension that surrounds his frequency of overthinking, promising that this time will be different.
'I'm not overthinking it,' Guardiola said on Tuesday after he had hinted at a tweak for the semi-final second leg against Real Madrid. 'Don't worry. It's nothing different from what we've done, just more fluid in attack and play a bit better.'
