Where did you see the failure of the second half ? Sorry if you allready shared but i have limited time online recently.
except for playing time.. @juventus4life posted a very good point in the match thread.
we had 2 weeks, had Allegri saw the players out of stamina, and did not have fresh legs, he could have gave them a week of rest instead of playing them at Bologna, playing time was not a reason.
real started to play with high tempo and pressure and we stood, had it been longer 5 mins till that deflection, Allegri would have changed Barza and Pjanic (injury) for Cuad and Marchi. our player stuck to the plan, Real had no big chance in the 15 min before their goal.
anyway, they were more prepared in all aspects.
I always did not like Allegri's approach of late subs.
part of the plan introducing Barza was to have Cuad's fresh legs in Second half, when? around 70'? was he really planning to keep absorbing the pressure till 70?
fuck it.
