How expansive we’ve played so far worries me. Even this Real Madrid isn’t one I think we want to go toe to toe with and try to outplay. Spanish teams are just quite simply better at that because they do it every weekend.
I actually think the Inter from the second half of last season would give this Madrid team a very hard time. It’s a shame we never really clicked until we were already out of UCL. We never really got to see the best version of Conte’s Inter in Europe.
I’ll be very interested to see how this match goes. Madrid did lose to chelsea who also plays a back 3 over two legs. However Chelsea have better athletes (Kante, Rudiger, James, Azpi) which helped nullify the counter attacks. Not to mention the pace in the front line was tough for Madrid to deal with.
I would like to see us use the following line up:
Handa
Skriniar - De Vrij - Bastoni
Dumfries-Barella-Brozovic-Vidal-Dimarco
Lautaro - Correa
I think we have to be able to use the bit of pace we have to get behind their aging midfield and run at their back line and create havoc that way.
