Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Aimé Jacquet's France 1998 bring 4-3-3 and zidane control with defensive steel. Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus 2016/17 answer with 3-5-2 and bbc defence with wide wing-backs; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
