Real Madrid’s weakness in the mid-block: when Bellingham steps out of the central area to press wide, it leaves space behind him that opponents can exploit. Teams often target the left side — Vinicius’ zone — where defensive coverage is limited. #FootballAnalysis #LaLiga

Joshua Kimmich shows brilliant awareness in Bayern’s high press and transition phases. He tracks his opponent deep into midfield, wins the ball back, and immediately orchestrates the attacking transition that leads to Bayern’s goal against PSG.
