I was really surprised by Juventus, they were perfectly tactically prepared for this match. I actually expected them to defend much more, but they were amazing, and deserved the win, could have scored another 1-2. Real on the other side was just crossing like United last season.
CATENACCIO is not bus parking.
The game yesterday was a beauty to watch in a different way. Finally, we saw some old Italian beauty back... I miss those time.
It was an intense game, we all saw how both teams missed their best players (Modric, Pogba)... but Juve's performance sparked out something we thought to be long dead from Serie A (or long sleep).
On paper, to be honest, Real could eat Juve alive... but the game showed otherwise.
Now, that's CATANACIO/Catenaccio guys. The actual good defending system that please our eyes. Not bus parking tactic. Some would argue it's Zona Mista.
I haven't seen so many beautiful tackles from individual in a while (not just throw bunch of people to block an attack)... despite some of those tackles almost caused them trouble (if a player do a sliding tackle and got passed, it would cost them 1,5 second to catch up)...
PS: Morata's goal is also a new record of number of passes before goal (27), broke the record from Bayern against Porto (26) - details: see comment
