Spanish champion, Real Madrid and their opponent for the 2021/2022 UEFA Champions league final, Liverpool Football Club have released the list of players to start off the final match which is going down tonight in Paris, France....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
For Real Madrid one major tactical decision which the Real Madrid Coach made was the inclusion of Toni Kroos in the first eleven and keeping Camavinga on the bench. Kroos has really been poor in the Real Madrid’s run in the UEFA Champions league mostly in the knockout round.
For example in the Semi final match, Manchester City was having a smooth run in the midfield until Kroos was substituted in the dying stages of the game with Camavinga.
He came in an stabilized the midfield, he was the one that crossed to Benzema who assisted Rodrygo’s first goal. Camavinga dispossessed a Manchester City player and launched the attack that led to the equaliser which sent the game to extra time.
He was also involved as Benzema won the penalty that secured the victory. The French midfielder ought to start ahead of Kroos.
For Liverpool FC, the inclusion of both Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho in the starting eleven against a midfield that has a very brilliant Modric in it is very risky. Thiago and Fabinho are 2 great players but both players picked up injury in their recent games.
Fabinho got his injury against Aston Villa while Thiago was substituted in the first half of the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their English Premier league final natch day. Klopp could have deployed one of them in the midfield rather than both.
