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. Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea 2011/12 answer with 4-2-3-1 and low block with set pieces; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
