Real madrid beat liverpool to claim their fifth champions league trophy in 8 years, with carlo Ancelotti becoming the first manager to win the trophy 4 times. It caps of an incredible season for real madrid and a disappointing end to liverpools season, narrowly missing out on both the premier league and champions league. Today we’re going to be taking a look at the tactics behind the champions league final.
The two teams adopted a very contrasting approach in the final, with Liverpool sticking to their typical aggressive vertical football but struggling to break down real madrids low block and deadly counter attacking football. This is also reflected in the statistics from the 90 minutes. Both teams lined up in their classic 4-3-3 formation with no variation in line-ups compared to their previous champions league fixtures. The first thing to note is the two teams average position throughout the match. Liverpool kept a much higher defensive line, often with Jordan Henderson pushing much further up on the right flank, with support from TAA. On the other hand real madrid kept a more standard shape throughout the match, with Benzema and Vinicius often staying further up the pitch to help with the teams counter attacks, a big part of their gamplan for the night. Possession was rather equal over the 90 minutes, but the xG shows how Liverpool had many more chances, with the biggest coming from Sadio mane in the first half and salah looking for the equalizer late on in the match. This is also a testament to Courtois man of the match performance, pulling off a number of world class stops to keep Liverpool at bay. Pressing intensity also clearly shows liverpools attempt at winning the ball back early, while real madrid had a much higher long pass share %, looking to directly bypass liverpools press and look for gaps either side of liverpools fullbacks who often pushed up on the flanks.
So these stats show how Liverpool may had more opportunities, but after a shaky first 25 minutes, real madrid stuck to their game plan and never looked out of control for the remained of the match, and slowly started to frustrate Liverpool.

Journalists are criticizing Modrics performance in the final saying he was to defensive and was too deep but as you mentioned the dropping deep by Modrić and Kroos was a tactical decision (probably Ancelotti'es) which broke Liverpools high press. This decision won Real a title.
@@gnello3713 how ?
I remember watching the match and I told everyone there, Madrid chances of getting a counter will increase if Modric dropped back.
Why?
Whenever Modric pressed the Liverpool central defenders alongside Benzema, it left gaping holes in the midfield and posed all sort of questions.
Kroos would have to vacate the wide position or half space to help Casemiro who's covering for Modric so Liverpool do not have a central overload. Now Kroos moving central meant Vinicius had to take up Kroos's former position which he didn't, that's why Henderson and Trent overloaded the right wing and right half space.
Again, Modric being upfront meant momentarily they didn't have the numbers centrally, that's why Mane received a lot of deep passes from Thiago, but thanks to Militao for tracking Mane as false 9.
The moment Modric dropped deep, their solidity was cemented. I don't know what those journalists saw or what match they watched.
Even Pep did this by dropping B.Silva deep to deal with Liverpool's press.
The Most fair analysis I've heard so far! Real Madrid's gameplan was superior & almost flawlessly executed
I'm a huge Real Madrid fan - 150% truth BUT to be fair the superior statement is interlinked with the flawless execution statement. Without execution a game plan means nothing haha. Liverpool had their plans and Real Madrid had theirs, difficult to compare the plan on a standalone basis, but Real Madrid executed their plan better and won.
If you watched the match.... You'd know this review is bang on accurate.... Great work @footballmeta 👏
thanks man 🙌
Ancelotti is not only a GOAT, A Tactical GENIUS too
Your analysis is really good, you should make videos like this more often. 👍👍
Wonderful Analysis! Superb Tactics by Ancelotti , my best players of the match were tibo, Konate and Carvajal in that order.
Very nice analysis. RM managed well Pool's attacking system. In that match, I witnessed the power of maintaining small distances between defenders to make the real deep block. Glorious!
Hang on, we the English pundits when analyzing any Real Madrid match: Real Madrid won because of luck.
Listen to Arsene Wenger's post match conference, they won not only because of lucky but look at the big & best teams they were beating coming through to the final.
How Milan transitioned their strenghts into 19th Scudetto?! Would that make a mamagable topic for a vid?
I think in the 2nd half, Klopp should've switched to 3-4-3 formation. Liverpool brilliantly marked Vini Jr in the first half with Ibrahima Konate and Mo Salah aid Trent to contain Vini but it's very hard to do that for the whole 90 mins. Klopp should've sub Matip for Hendo and Bobby for Diaz. Moved Konate to mark Vini and deployed Matip in a more central position. Matip is also a brilliant ball playing defender, he's also good at breaking and opening up the opposing team. Moved Mane to his normal left flank position and brought Bobby Firmino as normal no 9. Liverpool were really firing once they brought Bobby and he was really good and he opened up Real's defense on several occasions and found lil pockets. Trent would've been more free with moving up and be creative in the offense.
Chelsea thought they marked vini well until he struck, what you people don't understand will win some of the one on one battles against the best defender in the world will wait for the perfect chance or pass to finish off. That's how Madrid will have three chances and score two because they don't waste chances.
Your entire scenario above sounds nice and plausible but (1) would still not guarantee a W; and (2) would need practice to implement. On (2), If Klopp had not anticipated this and prepared for this system beforehand he wouldn't execute it. I think that was the scenario in fact.
Just giving the channel some content idea: Breakdown of underrated historical players playing style, I thought about this cause I'm someone who loves to know about former players greatness, not by their achievements but their play, and was struggling to find a good video about Clarence Seedorf. Would love if you gave it a thought, would be good for pushing more quality content and shed light on the greats who are forgotten in the debates.
Real didn't even need to use subs. That's how much in control they were.
The way you show your stats with animation are great. Keep on digging for more stats. We understand football more with statistics.
amazing analysis!
Just found your video. You analysis is accurate and unbiased.
Such an accurate and well explained analysis, great job!
Thanks bro
Could you do some videos one why you should choose a certain formation and how formations matchup with eachother on paper? I think that would be very helpful
thanks for the suggestion, I actually plan on starting this series in the near future 😉
@@FootballMeta that would be great. I expect full credit😂😂😂
Agree
Incredibly good analysis 🙌🏻 Hala Madrid 🤍 Champ14ons !
thanks man 🙌
Actually i think that the fatal mistake that klopp did was to push mane to the forward position and losing his abilities in the wing as a good dribbler and his speed in coverage which diaz lacks . That makes valverdi usually has one on one situation with robertson
Also nabi keita should have more time as he is able to pass through the lines and he is best in getting into the box
Enjoyed watching don carlo masterclass
The analysis was top notch.
Thanks man 🙌🏻
Tactical masterclass by Real Madrid
The more you have the surgical tools for every small detail during the heat of the game the more you will be effective on what you do without being the dominant on the pitch that's Real Madrid for you, Quality, Diversity, effectiveness, experience and mentality monsters themsleves
Can you do an analysis of the UWCL final between Barca and Lyon, too? TIA!
Lol are you serious?
Absolutely awesome to watch you could you please Captain Football Meta tell us why formation 4-3-3 does not work any more for Liverpool nearly from year 2020? And what the solution for Liverpool is it 3-4-3 or 4-2-3-1 .Thank you .
Thanks for the support man, I appreciate all the comments and insights! I think the 433 could still work for Liverpool, but maybe a 4231 with Salah firminho and Diaz behind Nunez would be deadly 💀 I've also always wanted to see Trent as a wingback, but I doubt klopp will play a back three
@@FootballMeta Hi Captain from ALexander Arnold side Liverpool conceded 2nd goal against city 2-2 at Etihad this year,, 2nd goal against Villareal away game a goal against Real Madrid this was with bitter taste the mistakes are on even happened at Anfield I
think if Liverpool play with formation 4-2-3-1 instead of 4-3-3 which does not work effectively with nearly because there are 8 new players coming in Liverpool now .Any way Captain that debatable issue let us see what is coming with EPL this season 2022-2023.Football Meta is the king of content sooner or later you will be on the top if you keep up the same quality work .
The moment Modric and Kroos dropped deep to soak up liverpool pressure knowing that they are best player on the planet to keep the ball under pressure and to deliver it forward with pinpoint accuracy meant that Liverpool gegen press became ineffective and since liverpool were occupying all their focus defensively on Vini meant that any forward pass to Valverde would allow him to have more freedom upfront, Real Madrid can hurt you in many ways they always have more tools during the heat of the game to change everything, quality and experience with winning mentality all overwhelmed liverpool aggressive pressing but ineffective against low blocks, Valverde tormented Robertson physically, hendo and Konate were all on Vini to not let h have his go on Trent who is weak defensively while Van djik was occupied by Benzema this let Real Madrid right flank of Carvajal who nullified Diaz and even went forward with Modric and Valverde, they thought the danger would come from the left to the right but it was the opposite
This guy made a valid comment you all have ignored. He said Realmadrid has 14 UCLs twice as many as the second best team in Europe. You know which team that is AC Milan, yes AC Milan not Liverpool.
Klopp played like Madrid did in 2019 and won, the Gegen press is excellent in the league but in a 1 off much. The objective in a final is not to score many but do not concede at all cost, because when you do, breaking down the low block is not an easy task. Liverpool had an all out attack plan. Its the reason they lost. But Madrid were incredibly luck too because Varlverde was shooting and not really trying to find Vini IMO
I felt a lot of people came into this thinking that Liverpool were massive favourites, but given Ancelotti beat Klopp with a same Everton team which barely survived relegation a year later… it seemed likely that he’d be able to do it with a Madrid side.
Also beat them a few times with Napoli as well
Liverpool attack like cats, constants swings with harmless scratches hoping one will sting. Madrid attack with venom, we make sure the kill is about to be confirmed. Marathon runners looked like they were dominating but we just let them have the ball because they don’t have any technical players
Trent may have been concussed?
This game showed me why Southgate still picks Walker over Trent for England. Trent is the best attacking right back in the world and probably the best crosser in the world but defensively he's a coin flip. I believe Trent would be so much better in a Fergie's United-like 4-4-2 formation taking the role of Beckham. For Liverpool he's exceptional but I can see why a defensive minded coach like Southgate wouldn't feel comfortable picking him over Walker.
I wreckon he'd be a great wingback, excellent offensive support but less defensive responsibilty. could mean he was even more dangerous going forward
Maybe Trent in a 5-3-2 would be play better since he could push forward and have less defensive responsibilities
@@lucacerullo3468 yeah I agree. someone needs to get in touch with klopp! 😂
I think he’s good but I myself prefer Carvajal but then again I’m a Madrid fan so I’m obviously biased 😁
Klopp , un tiro a puerta , un gol .... No , Benzemá , hizo el 1-0 minuto 42 primer tiempo . El gol de Vini , fue el 2-0 ... Resultado final !!!
Trent is a liability
When AC Milan won their 7th UCL in 2007, did they knw Madrid is going to win 5 more UCLs in the next 15 years??
Liverpool had an upper hand tactically n they managed to sustain opposition thread..
and they lost.
@@TheAlijator because in football that’s what happens
no tactical upper hand by Liverpool, they had 50/50 possession and ran themselves to the ground, that match had gone to extra time, it would have been 6-1 to Madrid. they conserved their energy and substitutions till the last minute.
Your name is not football meta
For me, it was a boring game because of Real Madrid tactic of staying behind and wait for the counter, especially in an era where often you need to press high to win but it was a deserved win, so congratulations to Madrid.
Then why they score a goal ?
@@lexkanyima2195 Counter attack, we saw the video. I didn't say that they don't deserved the win, I only said that I, my humble opinion, don't like that type of philosophy.
@@shiroda2338 ok
that's nice, but playing a style you don't like and winning the trophy, for most teams would be preferable over entertaining the fans but losing. In the end, you can win the league and UCL double while playing "boring" counterattack, or you can be entertaining but come two penalty shootouts away from being as trophyless as Man United. 330 minutes of finals, and their press was not good enough to score a single goal. Maybe it's just not as effective as you think?
@@lostn65 I don't mind the more focus on the victory than the "style", but playing beautifull football brings results, it's not only aesthetic. Of course you can lose, it's football after all but don't say that is only aesthetic because for me it is a myth.
Carlo is so underrated ! For me he's the best 🤍
