Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Luis Enrique's Barcelona 2014/15 bring 4-3-3 and msn front three with direct combinations. Giovanni Trapattoni's Inter Milan 1988/89 answer with 4-4-2 and box-to-box with two strikers; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
