Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich, 2nd leg: 5 things to watch out for

#4 The tactical battle: Zidane vs Heynckes

Who will come out on top - Heynckes or Zidane?

Zinedine Zidane has proved himself as a genius with tactics, just like the way he was with the ball at his feet. He has landed every single major trophy with Real Madrid, with the exception of the Copa del Rey.

Zidane focuses a lot on pressing high up the pitch and attacking on the counter. He has been blessed with an immensely talented pool of players, who can score goals and contain opponent attacks with ease. Scoring from crosses with the opposition in their own half is precisely why Zizou's game is a delight to watch.

Jupp Heynckes was the manager of Bayern in 2013, when they won the treble of Champions League, Bundesliga and DFB Pokal. When Carlo Ancelotti left, he left behind a team of demotivated but good players. Heynckes has done an excellent work by transforming the lethargic team into a well-oiled unit that functions very efficiently.

Heynckes's game is more about his teams changing formations to adjust to the requirements of the game. Using counter-pressing to subdue opponents and pacy wingers/wingbacks to exploit the loopholes in the opposition defence makes his teams very difficult to deal with.
