3 of the 4 teams in the semis are excellent on the ball and have an attacking mindset, the remaining (Spurs) are pragmatic, but they can play attacking football if they want to.

Every CL winner since 2013 imposes their style of play in a match rather then constantly reacting to the oppositions' play style. If Max hasn't made that observation after five years here, then he never will.
