Summary of Football tactics
Bayern Munich started off with a 4-2-3-1 formation, but switched to a 3-4-3 after 10 minutes, as they had lost possession of the ball. This change allowed them to have more possession and also prevented Barca from scoring. The two central defenders were Jerome Boateng and Javi Martinez, while Philipp Lahm and David Alaba played as wingbacks. With this change, Bayern was able to turn defense into offense and create an equal number of opportunities on goal. They also defended well against Barcelona's attacking players by making it difficult for them to get through by getting in front of them or tackling them before they could get too close to the goal.
