Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Diego Simeone's Atlético Madrid 2020/21 bring 4-4-2 and low block with counter attack. Carlos Bianchi's Boca Juniors 2000 answer with 4-3-1-2 and number 10 with two strikers; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
