Lineups
The hosts’ coach set his team in the 4-3-3 formation with their biggest strengths in the right-flank engines embodied in Jesus Navas and Lucas Ocampos who were playing down the right-handed sideline as the full-back and the winger respectively. The main creative force of their side was Ever Banega and Joan Jordan, who held the midfield together with Fernando, while Nolito on the left-wing and Javier Chicharito Hernández were the key threats for the opposition’s goal.
José Bordalás went into the game with his usual 4-4-2 formation which was quite strict and was mostly depending on the good defensive block. Nemanja Maksimović and Mauro Arambarri were the players that were planned to be in control of the central zones, along with the help they got from Jason and Marc Cucurella who were lined up as wide midfielders. On top of their eleven was the attacking duo made by Jaime Mata and Jorge Molina, who were supposed to be in the lead of their fast transitive actions but have struggled to find ways through the opponent’s lines.
