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. Marcelo Gallardo's River Plate 2018 answer with 4-3-1-2 and high press with number 10; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
