Real Madrid’s weakness in the mid-block: when Bellingham steps out of the central area to press wide, it leaves space behind him that opponents can exploit. Teams often target the left side — Vinicius’ zone — where defensive coverage is limited. #FootballAnalysis #LaLiga

Joshua Kimmich shows brilliant awareness in Bayern’s high press and transition phases. He tracks his opponent deep into midfield, wins the ball back, and immediately orchestrates the attacking transition that leads to Bayern’s goal against PSG.

FC Barcelona – Structural Weakness in Pressing Phase
Barca press is intense on the flanks — but when opponents find the far-side free man, the structure opens up with progressice pass. This often leads to 2v2 transitions and big spaces behind the press.
