#3 Zidane’s tactics and the form of BBC integral in the absence of Casemiro
Bale may have been the only one of the attacking trio not to be on the score sheet. However, the zip zapping movement of the trio along with assistance from the full backs was responsible for the creation of chances.
Zidane’s faith in the midfield trio also yielded a very commanding display from the Los Merengues. While the impetus to win was always there the early goal from Varane helped the Madrid side settle into a rhythm and also calmed a lot of nerves.
With Zidane missing Casemiro and Ramos, it was imperative that the side he had named put in convincing display. With a Champions League fixture scheduled in midweek against Legia Warsaw, Zidane needed a win and his side delivered emphatically.
