Arriving at the away Bernabeu with a 3-1 defeat in the first leg, Tuchel and Chelsea were ready to make a beautiful start.
After Chelsea 3-0, there was not much time left for Real Madrid, but Carlo Ancelotti seized it. When Tuchel replaced the attacking core Werner, the home team decisively took the defensive colander Nacho, and the result of Real Madrid's reversal of promotion in extra time was not surprising.
01. Werner instigates the attack: hit the soft underbels of Real Madrid's centre-back
Because of the 3-1 defeat at home, Chelsea, who went to the Bernabeu, were very proactive from the start. James replaced Christensen as the starting centre-back on the right and Cheek went to right wing-backs which was the biggest difference from the previous game.
The ensuing change was James' resolute assist forward insertion, and Chikney received a local numerical advantage from the midfield. Real Madrid's biggest weakness is the weakness of the center-back, and the three veterans of the midfield are getting worse and worse as they age.
As can be seen from Chelsea's attack this time, it was right wing-back Cheek who received the ball in the middle. He picked up the ball in midfield and moved forward, passing to Havertz in the front line and then following up on the big penalty area line, and the area of the outside line was reserved for right wing-back James who assisted.
Chelsea's first goal, the key point came after Werner pulled nacho out after a retraction, causing a hole in the Real Madrid defender line, and then Werner and Mount moved quickly to play a deadly rhythm of breaking defense.
Neither of Real Madrid's two centre-backs has the awareness of dragging back, Nacho followed Werner halfway, and after retreating, he wanted to go forward, and worse, Alaba himself was the one standing behind, but he blindly overlapped with Nacho, resulting in the complete exposure of the space behind him.
Werner's role in this goal was too great, he led Nacho to stand and then ran back, receiving the ball from The Collected Cheek, sending a wonderful pass to Mount who was inserted at the back, bringing the team's first goal.
In the first half, Real Madrid shot 0 on target and Chelsea had a big advantage on the offensive end. Unfortunately, the team's lack of shooting efficiency led to some opportunities being wasted, and they could only enter the second half with a score of 1-0.
02. The same routine is played twice: Werner breaks through Nacho again
Chelsea have two key points in this game, one is right centre-back James and the other is Werner in the front. They won 10 times in a single-player confrontation (James won 5 times against Vinicius in the first half) and 6 wins against each other.
The former ensured that the defensive line could withstand real Madrid's counterattack, and the latter brought the advantage of breaking the defense on the offensive end.
Chelsea's second goal was a corner kick that hit Alaba overhead and Rudiger's header behind him. Apparently, Tuchel has seen the video of Barca's 4-0 win over Real Madrid and is well fed up with the weaknesses of the home defence.
Reversing the third goal of the total score, continuing the routine of the first goal, in the same way, the second time through the combination of Nacho and Arabba, a center-back combination that no one would drag behind.
Werner passed to Havrets of the Pseudo-Nine, who once again pulled out of Nacho's front. At this moment, Alaba, as a centre-back, had to quickly laterally make up for the space behind Nacho, but he did not move.
In contrast, Werner's insight into space is a perfect score, and he directly drills into the space left behind Nacho's front and back to bring in the subsequent goal.
Alaba's sense of replacement was really too poor, and when Werner came to this position, it was Still Casemiro who made up the position, and Arabba did not move sideways in the end.
After dunking Casemiro, the shot scored, and Werner handled the ball this time with a perfect score. The golden reconnaissance plane directly destroyed the opponent's lair, allowing Chelsea to win a magical 3-0 comeback.
03. Ancelotti, who turned the tide: The substitution is too resolute
As Real Madrid is about to collapse, Ancelotti's adjustment is admirable. The previous substitution of Camaringa for Kroos was to strengthen the midfield defense and sweeping ability, which also freed Modric. After 0-3, Marcelo and Rodrigo were replaced, and Real Madrid added two attackers.
But any team that wants to reverse the second leg will often output wildly from the beginning, resulting in a physical node in the backhand. Chelsea, after 3-0, were a bit unable to run. Real Madrid added an attacker at this time, instantly reversing the situation.
Where did Real Madrid's goal of equalising come about? It was Camawinga who quickly stepped forward during the offensive and defensive transitions, disrupting Kante's rhythm.
Alaba is suitable for front pressure, so he is more useful than Naccio after he comes out.
The person who intercepted Kante's pass with the header at the crucial moment was Alaba. Under the failure of the staffing, different playing styles will have different effects.
Chelsea really couldn't run, and Rodrigo, who had just played, stepped forward, and Alonso couldn't keep up. Even before Modric sent the ball, the Blues players lost the physical strength to rebound and press.
Ancelotti has led 4 different teams to reach the final four of the Champions League, which spans 4 decades.
If Real Madrid can win this season's La Liga title, Ancelotti will become the first manager to lead the team to win the championship in the five major leagues.
How did this goal in Real Madrid's extra time come about, that is, Kante could not run, and Camarvin stepped up to break the ball. Vinicius then flanked the cross and the Chelsea defender stood unsteadily as Henri Benzema's header killed the game.
We can't blame the Chelsea players for not being able to run because they're really running too much. It can only be said that in order to win the first 74 minutes 3-0, they really tried their best.
Unfortunately, the front missed too many opportunities and made Chelsea pay the price.
Conclusion:
Tuchel won the layout first hand, and the old Ancelotti won back the on-the-spot decision and adjustment. In recent years, reversals and reversals have become more common in the Champions League.
As the inferior side of the first round, the coach will have the courage to break the boat when laying out the layout in the second round. However, when the physical energy is exhausted, whether it can keep the victory may depend on the coach of the other side, whether he can keep calm and pluck up courage.
