Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Massimiliano Allegri's AC Milan 2025/26 bring 4-2-3-1 and counter attack with wide forwards. Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen 2023/24 answer with 3-4-2-1 and positional play with wing-backs; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
