in October, PSG were still pressing in 4141 w +1 atb, and led by Lee, their OOP was well-exploited by Arsenal via FB inversion, 8s dropping wide, overloading Vitinha as the single pivot

In the opening 30' of the CDR final, Barcelona exploited Ancelotti's 4141/4231 (Tchou man-marking Olmo so even 541 gave up central combos) with
- left side 3v2 (Rodrygo')
-Pedri manipulating Valverde w his movement
-Inigo line breaking to Raphinha inside reception/lay off to
-Gerard Martin free runs
- left side 3v2 (Rodrygo')

Bit of fun with taking penalties (in context of the J. Alvarez debate): went up vs a Freestyler and then Patrik Demjén (MTK, Hungary NT) in a shootout. Let's find out how it went:

In the 1st leg, flex occupation of spaces btw the lines by PSG forced #Emery into difficult choices: the 6s were often pulled wide/needed to follow the frequent deep runs, while CBs needed to follow into midfield, leaving #Vitinha free to operate. Eventually PSG tried more dribbling + chips to runs

What a performance by the forgotten BVB defenders
-Niklas Süle won 3/3 duels vs BdO candidate Raphinha (3/14 on duels, FIRST Barca game this season w/o a shot creating action)
-Ramy #Bensebaini + Daniel Svensson (11/18 duels) held #Yamal to 2/9 dribbles (6/6 1st leg) and without a key pass + 1 shot

This #PSG @astonvillaofficial.bsky.social is special for many people (from Emery to Asensio), but it's a once in a lifetime affair for the great @jonlegossip.bsky.social. He was kind enough to go through the tie from a personal + professional POV, answering a few Qs below:

After a recent drop-off in intensity vs the ball, it's been nice to see #Inzaghi's #Inter display some very impressive pressing displays vs Atalanta and Udinese - something @fcbayernmunich.bsky.social should be also concerned about.

I wrote a very in depth #MCI analysis back in late November/early Dec:

Despite substantial efforts tactically and via transfers, there's an argument to make that #Guardiola and the team's been going in circles....

Every time I watch/analyze #Lille in UCL (RM, ATM, Juve) I'm highly impressed by #Genesio's match plans and execution
-the medium high block that LIV struggled to play through (goals from deflection and random transition)
-patient and flex buildup to find free man

In the final game for Nuri #Sahin, Bologna managed to dominate BVB. While often #Italiano is rightfully praised for his suffocating m2m (see Inter), I thought his in poss. has evolved (see Fiorentina) nicely. Think BOL will continue to cause problems for opponents...

hot take: think Bayern are the best/most dominant team itw at the moment - the ease with which they create chances (despite missing Musiala, etc) and the sheer power of their OOP risk just allows absolutely nothing....

Story of #FCBRBL is (a mad start) FCB's complete control vs a 532 that is built upon their relentless m2m oop, a tightly connected, flexibly occupied positional 3-1-3-3 that dominates and counterpresses to completely pin Leipzig in.
They present RBL with a series of losing propositions:

One of the things that's always really impressive about #Slot's LFC is the instant in-game adjustments - in this case it's the manipulation of the wingers (does he follow to CB and leave the FB?) via inverting both FBs

despite the hilarious (dare I say ARod-esque) handball punch, #Mbappe continues to work hard and it's nice to see him overload/roam across and he seems to be connecting more with teammates/playing within the game

lil live ttx thread on #GIRRMA where the hosts are high pressing especially on the left side - even doubling up Lucas Vazquez - with successful regains and a chance created by Miguel + Bryan Gil for Miovski
in addition, they're unsurprisingly playing calmly out vs RM and getting transition opps
