A THREAD! 👇 Bayern Munich won their 6th Champions League with victory over PSG last night. Our coaches share the tactical patterns from the game.

#UCLfinal

🔍 Bayern Munich were organised into a 4-2-3-1 formation, led by Robert Lewandowski, again operating as their lone striker (1/8)

#UCLfinal

🔍 They remained in that 4-2-3-1 while they defended; Lewandowski led the high, intense press they regularly sought to apply (2/8)

#UCLfinal

🔍 Bayern’s full-backs Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich often represented their free options as they built possession from defence (3/8)

#UCLfinal

🔍 The understanding that exists between their front four was crucial to the success they had in advancing beyond Paris Saint-Germain’s compact midfield (4/8)

#UCLfinal

🔍 PSG were organised by their manager Thomas Tuchel into a 4-3-3; Neymar, Ángel Di María and Kylian Mbappé formed their front three (5/8)

#UCLfinal

🔍 They defended with that same 4-3-3, when their midfield remained narrow, and close to the defenders behind them (6/8)

#UCLfinal

🔍 Their priority, when they had possession, was to play passes forwards to their quick attackers, and to do so as early as possible (7/8)

#UCLfinal

🔍 They regardless posed their most consistent attacking threat during transitions; a poor run, a lack of detail on the relevant pass, or poor finishing then undermined them (8/8)
