But thats what the video kinda says. We were better 1st half, Madrid made adjustments in 2nd half and won
The video mentions 3 changes
1) move to flat midfield instead of diamond cause we lack cm's that get past players and need to pass wide or switch play
2) kroos marking khedira
3) Isco playing much higher
the first change was made halfway the first half, before we even scored. It barely changed anything as we kept comming high over the flanks.
In the first half, we had plenty of times when we had pressure on the center 3. But we combined our way out of it.
Marking Khedira and putting Isco higher made it more dangerous for them to attack, which was their goal, but it would have barely made a difference for us in possession.
Here is the deal. We sat back, we didnt combine. Our backs stayed far in our own half, the cm suddenly stopped passing and combining at all.
If Max would have switched to 4231 by taking off Barzagli and putting Cuadrado, took off the failure called Khedira for Pjanic, we would have easily anticipated their change. Which we did at some point, except Pjanic went off instead of Khedira
Did it change anything ? No, it didnt. We lost cause we completely collapsed on our own. Not cause Madrid pushed higher through the center.

Sorry but that's BS.
We lost that second half more than Real won. We totally an absolutely collapsed from the moment the 2nd half kicked off. That Real Madrid team are great, but not unbeatable and we're definitely there for the taking. They were nowhere near as dangerous as that Barca team of 14/15 IMO.
All these 'changes', but it took 15 minutes without a single chance and a deflection to get a goal past a completely crumbled juve.
Who offcourse got exposed now it needed to go forward

A world class winger, top CM, attacking midfielder and reserve striker (Schick)...and we are set.
i'd switch that to
A worldclass cm, a versatile forward (lw/ss/rw) and Schick + Pjaca returning would make me a happy panda.
We need that cm. Fucking khedira piece of crap.
