Laimer was quite clearly the man of the match for me

i was a BIG fan of how Laimer was fighting for every ball in the midfield. Kind of reminded me how Kante was running up and down the field for the ball.

This manager gets way to much disrespect. if Kim didnt have brain farts bayern would have won smh

Title suggesting that it is Tuchel's Bayern who got lucky in this game, while all the facts showing that Real should be very happy they didn't loose that game.

Tuchel won the coaching battle. The difference was the defender that replaced de Light. Compared to de Light is Kim these typ of defender who like to defend agressively and "foward". Tuchel said after the game that he was too greed. Apart from those 4 mistakes from both sides, Tuchel had the better game plan for the match.

Tuchel's tactics in this one were incredibly impressive. Bayern's chances of advancing in the second leg will largely depend on their health. They showed that they have the heart & talent to make it through, if their top defender & attackers get/stay healthy I think they'll have a good shot at the UCL title.

Critics often accuse Carlo Ancelotti of lacking clear strategies against top opponents on big Champions League nights. However, if we apply the 48th Law of Power, "Assume Formlessness", we can view Ancelotti's approach in a different light. Ancelotti's strategy could be seen as a form of "formlessness". Rather than adhering to a rigid, predictable game plan, Ancelotti may be choosing to remain flexible and adaptable, adjusting his tactics based on the specific circumstances of each match. This approach can be advantageous as it makes Real Madrid difficult for opponents to analyze and counter. Just like water, which assumes the shape of its container, Ancelotti's team adapts to the challenges posed by different opponents. This fluidity and unpredictability can be a strength, not a weakness. It allows Real Madrid to respond to the unique dynamics of each game, making them a formidable opponent on any given night. In the high-stakes environment of the Champions League, where games are often decided by the smallest of margins, the ability to adapt and change can be the difference between victory and defeat. Ancelotti's "formless" approach keeps opponents guessing and allows Real Madrid to seize opportunities as they arise. So, while critics may perceive a lack of clear strategy, Ancelotti might be employing a sophisticated approach inspired by the principle of formlessness. This approach requires a deep understanding of the game and the ability to make quick, effective decisions under pressure.

I honestly cant fathom how twitter calls tuchel a football terrorist while ancelotti parks the bus for 4 straight cl games and inshallah.

Vazquez lacked support on the right side

Laimer had both incredible defensive obligations in covering Vinicius Jr. when he dropped and offensively in the second half he was their sole buildup link from midfield. Great stamina that makes me question his limits and will definitely warrant a rest day during the weekend in the league. I also think Tuchel's match plan and 2nd half adaptation don't get the praise they deserve when you consider man city struggled to create high yield chances against this side.

for me, Ancelotti got to change whole gameplan in 2nd leg because Bayern almost win the first leg

If there's someone to beat Madrid at the Bernabeau it's Tuchel. He's unpredictable compared to a Pep and his tactical nous is up there with the very best. I think Madrid will play a bit freely at home and that's where Tuchel will show how good he is. Predicting Bayern to go through

Why is Tuchel’s tactics explanation 6minutes whereas Madrid’s is only 1 minute 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂 “Vibes Based”

People are underestimating and quickly forgot what happened last year at the semis. Madrid were demolished by City in the second leg and Ancelotti admitted that. Also, Real were struggling against Barcelona and were outsmarted tactically several times by Xavi. Real wanted to avoid this happening by any means during this season. Given the fact that Benzema left, changes were desperately needed. Last year Real played with the conventional 4-3-3, which Ancelotti adopted during his first stay at Madrid. The very same construction was later used by Zidane. However, it became very predictable and Ancelotti knew during the summer that it is the right time for experimenting and selecting a new gameplan. Not only Ancelotti changed his own tactics, but as @sparkle-stories rightfully indicated now Real is indeed "formlessness". Sometimes they play 4-3-1-2, sometimes 4-4-2, sometimes even with Camavinga as inverted back and asymmetrical formation, sometimes Modric plays to the position and the role in which Pirlo used to play and it is difficult to predict how Real will play, regardless the opponent. Do not forget that this year Real suffers from severe injuries of Militao, Alaba and Courtois! Against Atleti, they even played without a natural center back! No other team would have managed to adapt so quickly and still be at this stage of the season in a top shape. Madrid put Barca at their place, kicked out City, won the Supercopa, needing only 4 points to take over La Liga again and now fighting for a third trophy! In fact, Real only lost this season against Atleti! So hands off from Ancelotti, he is a Mastermind! Can't wait for the next season and the new arrivals. Real will be stronger!

Great analysis 👍 l also liked Tuchel's ingame adjustments

very good analysis. When you have seen this match, you cannot understand, that one of the two coaches got fired shortly before...

Your videos and explanations are worldclass!!❤

Wtf is this comment section

In an age were football is filled with system players, Jamal Musiala is shining like a bright diamond. What a player. Tuchel showed his tactical acumen in this match, he deserves more respect than he gets tbh

Real Madrid will win in the 2nd leg with Carvajal...Lucas Vazquez couldn't offer anything at the front last game but Carvajal is different breed in important games

Switching Sane and Musiala was genius!

I liked Ancelotti's subs. Replacing Jude with Brahim was a big call, and also replacing Nacho with Camavinga to push Tchouameni back in defence, lead to Madrid restoring the control of the ball and equalizing.

Toni Kroos and Laimer were the best.

Next game Nacho is dropped in order to gain speed. Mendy, Tchoua, Rüdiger, Carvajal, Kroos as pivot with Valverde and Camavinga tight on either side with freedom to go up wing, then the top three of BVR. They did this vs Man City 1st leg to great offensive effect. They just have to control pace of pressing better during 1st 1/2 to avoid early exhaustion in 2nd.

Your analyses always consider Ancelotti as the 2nd best but he still wins most of the occasions. Is he too much of a genius to be analysed?😂

OG layout! 😎

you are calling Bayern to be tactical and Madrid to be individual brilliance of players, while none of Bayern goals are really tactical.

I liked how the ref handled the game

The first leg tactics seem fine for attacking but wasn’t the fact that the central defenders were so far apart the reason why Vinicius had this much space to score? I feel like this is a very risky tactic against a team like Madrid which is known to not play for possession but transitions very well.

Football Made Simple summed up Madrid's tactics by referring to his name: "Brazilian vibe and German precision, that's why it didn't last more than a minute 🤣 i loved. Very bad luck for Bayern, their centre-back Kim tried to Measure up but lost concentration and made the mistake 🙃

Next leg will be something special ❤... great game

Real plays bad for a couple games in league and championsleague now and always end the games lucky bc enemies do exceptional stupid mistakes. Your commentary is insane if you raise Real that high.

Konrad Laimer really surprised me with how well he played

When you have wingers as good as Sane and Musiala why wouldn't you keep them as wide as possible as much as possible to attack the fullbacks 1v1? the bayern fullbacks would then overlap or invert into midfield. Isn't that the tactical question here? Bayern have 2 outstanding wingers Tuchel was playing not on the wings but in the channels 🤔

You didn't clearly touch on how Real made the first goal, the gap between the mid and the defense line was already pretty wide for Bayern. Everyone who's blaming Kim didn't clearly see that the moment he goes to press Vinicius, he's in two minds because there is Bellingham lurking in the half spaces.

Also please 🙏 analyze PSG vs Dortmund.

Ngl, the production of this video feels off compared to your previous works. Theres a bit too much silence compared to your other videos. Ion know maybe add some background music or something. The analysis is amazing though.

great quality

Talking about Tüchel adaptation and giving him a credit for that. While ignoring Ancellotis adaptation by changing the shape of the team by putting Camavinga alongside Kroos and Valverde and closing all the half spaces and made Tüchel look clueless then the equaliser came. Respect Ancelloti respect!!!

tuchel, like many managers, are sacrificing wingers for control and playing full backs as wingers. Ancelotti takes a little bit more risk and organizes so that attackers can do their work.

How can you make these so quickly? The game was just a few hours ago.

Please post tactical analysis of leverkusen vs AS Roma please please 🙏

Well "saved" can be understood in multiple ways but in general real was the team that saved themselves since Bayern was slightly better

mark my words when kroos retire real madrid will struggle they have no other player in the squad like toni but we have his playng style player in man city who else rodri if ton retire i think they should sign him

You no longer do Barcelona match analysis again. I hope you keep to the same process when the get back to their best form??

As always, Ancelotti as a tactician gets disrespected. A draw away at the Allianz is a good result.

If Bayern really have to play with Min-jae again, they'll be out of the CL. You can buy a player like that to play in the DFB Cup against second or third division teams or a CL preliminary round match against Istanbul and sell a few shirts in Asia. But you don't seriously buy a player with his lack of quality to actually play Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the CL. The mistakes he made caused both goals and at least the first mistake (even though Kroos' pass was great) was on the level of an inexperienced schoolboy player in the district league.

I love how Madrid haters asses are burning in every single of UCL season🤣.

I'm love with madrid but tuchel is tuchel come on mate he always had a surprise with chelsea/munich over 3 years, he always giving a best (out of the box mindset) tactics to face good/best team 👍

Tuchel did good with changes madrid played on kim lack of composure the second league will be interesting tuchel didn't show all his tricks thoo!

Very smart change from Tuchel. Goretzka had a stinker of a first half

BVB vs Paris analysis?

Real Madrid will win at Bernebau...

We are winning the 15th i said it after the first leg against city as well. we adapt and kill the game.

People in the comments praising Don Carlo for being a reactive manager and adjusting his tactics during the game while GOAT Jose gets criticize for doing the same thing and parking the bus as well

as you understand the 2nd leg is going to penaltys. and neuer will win it. its written and its going to be epic.

Tuchel masterclass as always

Where’s the Bellingham video

I'm a huge fan of you but how could you ignore the Toni kroos masterclass

Bring Tuchel back to Chelsea ASAP, he understands tactics which Poch doesn’t, just look at the difference, Chelsea usually play worse in the second half of games which has to be blamed on the manager, where here Tuchel seen what was wrong tactically and changed a few things at half time and Bayern were better in the second half, I just don’t think Poch is good enough tactically to manage Chelsea. I think Poch will be sacked when the season is over and Tuchel is definitely gone from Bayern so if there’s any chance of getting Tuchel back Chelsea owners need to swallow their pride and try get him back 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Don't get to excited, they have no chance on Bernabeu.

Bayern were sitting deep a lot of times, just rotating with the ball, wich led to 5-6 vazquez long balls to vini and bellingham, who couldnt win aeral battles cause goretzka and kim are way superior in the air, but tchouameni also dominated the high lose balls

I think Real Madrid were brilliant in preventing the central progression forcing the Bavarians in the 1st half out wide what do you think ?

no video on Dortmund v PSG?

I think Madrid are going to win their home game by a very small lead, simply by virtue of not being in the habit of giving away easy goals, unlike Bayern's defense.

I love you Tochel

Yeah, bro, Real reached semis by just vibin'...

Hi,I have a doubt Bayern got dominated over Madrid with this tactics then why they didn't use the same tactics in second leg

Madrid did exactly what they planned to do😂, they don’t care if it doesn’t look like their the best, as long as they have the quality to put goals away with minimal time on the ball they can play however they see fit

Where was the "best player itw"? Pocketed by Laimer

Tuchel masterclass

Tuchel is an underappreciated coach. It's a shame his CBs are trash.

Can u do rangers tactic

Real always wait for the mistake of the opponent. And Bayern will make one or two, that should be enough for Real to advance.

Bro what … 🤨

All my wish is to see Harry kane win something..The guy is the most complete striker any where .

Let’s see how he’s gone survive it inside Madrid 😂

"Madrid Tactics Is Vibe based as usual"

If bayern keep away from conceding goals as much as they can in the 2nd leg, and play the way they played in the 2n half ,they will beat madrid

💎🔥

That's the only thing i hate about Carlos Real Madrid....They play to the level of the competition.

Kim Min Jae 😂 "Give" 2 goals for Madrid 😅

Laimer was the best player last night

what about the kroos show

Can't see actually bayern making the barcelona mistakes in defense.Bayern should have won the match 3-0 honestly.Bayern defesive mistakes.

Rip angry rantaman

You never cover psg games

Tuchel may be the best tactician in Europe over the last 5 years. I always love Ancelotti's Real vs a Tuchel team because both are stylistically versatile and it's difficult to predict what gamerplans the sides will put out. These days where defending is harder than ever with the new Var interpretations they always somewhat amount to attackfests.

Actually Bayern played to win and Madrid was trying not to loose..

Even as a bayern fan i dont think bayern will win the second leg

Real madrid needs to keep sane and musiala at bay to win the 2nd leg. Respect for Tuchel📈

In my opinion Carlo will have to change a lot in next 7 days because i think bayern will be even hungrier and better in second game.

I Genuinely Think That If RMA Had Both Kroos And Modrić In Midfield, We Would've Won The Match. Especially When You Have Tchouameni Handling The Defensive Duties.

Tuchel fucked up first half tho, reversing musiala and sane on the wings.

Definitely Madrid!😂😂😂

I don't give more than a 15% to Bayern to go through No chance for any team at the moment of beating Madrid after surviving in their worst scenario by far from them the Etihad Winning or losing they were performing dreadful vs Leipzig both games and man city second leg Still believe that City is the best team itw since 2020

Vibes based tactics 😂😂😂😂

Kim was the best Real player.

Tuchel, Welcome to Manchester? 😁

Madrid are definitely winning this tie. There is no way Bayern will beat them at the Bernabeu. But hey, I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
