Toni Kroos role on the field
He was very good with the ball in the first half, oxygenating the white game. But suffering without possession, as he usually does when he has to play Tchouameni. It is not in the genetics of the German to keep the position and Valencia took advantage of it to start the race more than once. In the second half he lost control of the ball and Madrid noticed it. He was able to put Madrid ahead in extra time with a shot from the edge that Mamardashvili once again repelled. He scored his penalty of the shootout.
Camavinga was a painter in the first half
The French midfielder revolutionized in the first part, he saw a somewhat absurd yellow card that conditioned him and then he released a stomp that could cost him the second; Ancelotti saw it clearly and withdrew him at half-time to bring on Modric. He energizes the game in the middle, but he lacks knowing how to measure himself. Party to get an apprenticeship.
Carlo soon added power to Lucas Vazquez
It was difficult for him to deepen in the first part, he had to be attentive to the ascents of Gayá and Samuel Lino. He couldn’t have started the second part worse: he fell asleep on the mark and Lino slipped on his back to equalize. And to top it off, in a later play he hurt his knee after falling in a spectacular way and had to be replaced by Carvajal at 68′.
