If you take a look at the path Real took and what teams they beat this season i think they showed they were the best team once again B)
well 1st 25 mins pre injury they sure looked overwhelmed by the pace of the attack and the quick passes they basicly were playing 10 man on D and just surviving 1st half to hopefully tire them out and com out swinging second half thats what it looked like they were passing alot forcing them to pressure
u clearly saw that real madrid went into survival/tire the opposing squad strategy wich i doubt would've worked because the 3 upfront have insane cardio and the liverpool defence were barely getting worked + the 2 full backs are young af and are on the same boat cardio wise
bale on the bench was precisely what zidane wanted because bale is huge problem to defend and at 60 minute in u know everyone gona be a bit tired so its even worse
but i think that strategy would'nt have worked if salah was still on because it prob would've been 1-0 or 2-1 liverpool
