Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Fabio Capello's Roma 2000/01 bring 3-5-2 and star forwards with wing-backs. Rúben Amorim's Manchester United 2025/26 answer with 3-4-2-1 and wing-backs with vertical attack; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
