An Improved performance

‘Super Frank’ tweaked his 3-5-2 formation he employed against Real in the first leg, at the Santiago Bernabeu. On paper, the formation the formation was a 3-6-1 or a 5-4-1 depending how you view on the wingbacks. A very compact, midfield heavy tactical battle. And to the surprise on literally everyone, considering the backlash on the lineup news, the Blues played really well.
