Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Carlos Bianchi's Boca Juniors 2000 bring 4-3-1-2 and number 10 with two strikers. 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.
