To beat Madrid you need to be confident in your technical ability and don't give up on your game plan. The issue is 1-2 teams may have that kind of elite ability on the ball to implement that type of game plan on full 90 mins.
Likes of Liverpool, Bayern, are good teams, but their style of play is rather direct and similar to Madrid, while having lesser players compared to those of Madrid.
You are obviously referring to previous iterations of Liverpool and Bayern
- To beat Madrid you need to have first of all good pressing, as they suffer when teams press them in coordinated and intense way
- Then you need to take control of md, which I have no doubt we will do with Pedri-Casado
- You need your attackers to take the (many) chances Madrid's defense let go through. Obviously that applies to any game
- Finally you need good 1v1 defence on Vini. I don't know if we have that now without Araujo
