Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Jupp Heynckes's Bayern Munich 2012/13 bring 4-2-3-1 and wide forwards with high press. Hennes Weisweiler's M'gladbach 1974/75 answer with 4-3-3 and high tempo with star forwards; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
