Don't think it had much to do with EuroMax. Pjanic and Mandzukic were on one leg by half-time, and Khedira had just returned from injury and wasn't 100% either. And for that formation to be balanced, all 3 of them needed to be fully fit. Zidane was smart, and Real players knew what they were doing when they systematically kicked Mandzukic in first half.
Losing to Real was inevitable. 1-4 happened because choking mentality crept in after the deflected goal.
He should've started a fitter Marchisio instead of Khedira, that's about it.
Alves Joker said it. Bonbon left. Some others jus mentioned it in a very sutil way so the evidence is against Max. If u wanna create a case, enjoy... but the true is we lost one captain just after that
Max isn't perfect and the way sometimes he talks about players is just stupid. You named Zidane, well IMO Max is way better coach but Zizou is way better manager. the french knows how to handle his players in a better way

Sampaoli isn't know how to play Messi and Paulo at the same time.
They would lose again with Di Maria, Aguero, Pipa and Messi in the pitch...
I would give a try to a 3-4-3 with Messi, Paulo and Pipa in front cuz Argies FB aren't just good enough and with 4 strong MF
