The game. Unlike Juventus, Real was not
Juventus proved she did not know defense. She put more intensity and tactical discipline to match input, but its movement in an attack that lopsided Real pretty wobbly. The Old Lady should have further capitalize on this high point in the first 25 minutes. Behind, it posted its limits with too low block on the stages of Madrid’s possession, just like the equalizer and James bar.

Juve have played differently to the recovery. More “Italian”, committing more mistakes far from the goal just to break the possession of Real phases and try to counter it at the first opportunity. Work pay, because it is on a consecutive penalty against an attack that perfectly led Juve scored the winning goal. A goal which also illustrates the defensive shortcomings, particularly in the fold, merengue club in Turin.
Players: The nightmare of Ramos, the dream of Morata
If Real appeared as unbalanced in Piedmont, it is mainly because the tactical choices of Ancelotti have not been paid. Sergio Ramos, so brilliant defender, lived a nightmare in the middle. He never found the right position, and multiplied the lost balls. If Real Nor has sunk in midfield, he owes it to Toni Kroos, precious recovery as recovery. Before Gareth Bale was transparent and Cristiano Ronaldo for little. But the Portuguese has managed to include this goal that could be worth gold in return. It is already huge.

Massimiliano Allegri was more inspired Ancelotti. The Turin coach tried a winning bet by aligning the young Stefano Sturaro, author of a full match in midfield, as Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio. But it is especially the duo of Turin attack that made the difference. Carlos Tevez, in the tradition of the season, but Alvaro Morata. The Spaniard, inexperienced at this level, perfectly negotiated his reunion with Real beyond a goal that has not celebrated. Finally, Giorgio Chiellini has given himself for Juventus takes in hot moments.
Weekend stat: Real favorite to reach the final despite losing
Juventus won, but she conceded that goal at home that often makes the difference in the European Cup. Despite his defeat, Real and has 50.7% chance to qualify for the final, against 49.3% for Juventus. This is not necessarily a bad result for the Spanish club.
What could have changed everything
On the match, this is the bar James Rodriguez. Real had a tremendous opportunity to lead at the break, and that would have changed significantly the data from a match that Juventus could not have addressed the same way in the recovery. But more generally, the absence of Luka Modric has been very damaging for Real, as the Croatian is the guarantor of this balance that has been lacking in Madrid in Turin. Perhaps even more than Paul Pogba for Juventus, although the contribution of the French offensive could enable Turin to sign a broader success.

The declara: Carlo Ancelotti (coach Real Madrid)
“In return, it will take a real patient, especially.”
The question: Is this a good result for Real
?
Real Madrid lost, but it was not necessarily a bad operation in Turin. Statistics show that still has all his chances with a view to qualifying for the final thanks to goals scored in Piedmont, and assuming a 1-0 Madrid win the return is far from unrealistic . In front of his home crowd, with his experience of the competition, the title holder will have the strengths to reverse the situation.
Real is not so far from Berlin, but it would be wrong to see already. Juventus have already shown this season that she was able to fit in these conditions. In the eighth-finals, it was imposed by the same score against Borussia Dortmund, and hell had promised to return. Ultimately, she signed a huge success in Germany (0-3). Moreover, Juve has never been eliminated on a knockout round after a 2-1 home win in the first leg.
The certainty is that Real will have to show something else to Santiago Bernabeu. His approach to the game was not good in Turin. The Ancelotti game plan did not work, and his players did not put the necessary commitment for a match against a Juve that level. Madrid coach has a week to find solutions to problems encountered in Piedmont. Otherwise his team, yet not so far from Berlin, could not see the German capital.
