Real seemed to tactically have a plan which is weird considering the starting 11 Zidane picked. He picked both Isco and Vasquez who aren't that physical yet seemed to set his team out with a solid back 4 then a 5 across that with Ronaldo alone up top. They forced Bayern outwide and wasted little energy in defending, Bayern still created many chances because Real defense is not that good lol but Bayern didn't take their chances and the very good chances they got, Navas actually made a save (or two).

I also saw a very tired Bayern by the end of the game which shouldn't have been either, they need a good rest this weekend in Bundesliga so they can really go hard in the next game which if they score first will make it interesting. However i can't see Real Madrid playing like they did this game, seems to be an "away performance" specifically and will control more of the ball at home and actually give Ronaldo service.

But isn't that down to Zidane has rested players in the home games and it has bite him on the ass doing so? I mean forget the Juventus home game and most of the issues are at home in the league when he has rotated his squad ? That is what i thought anyway, if it is generally shite home form with his best 11 then ok xD
