Real Madrid Vs Benfica Tactical Match Analysis

Описание: Real Madrid vs SL Benfica – Tactical Analysis | Build-Up, Pressing & Counter Attacks

In this video, we break down how Real Madrid advanced to the Round of 16 with a tactically sharp performance against Benfica.

We analyse Madrid’s structured build-up, including how the goalkeeper stepped into the defensive line to create numerical superiority and stretch Benfica’s aggressive man-to-man press. Special focus is given to Aurélien Tchouaméni’s role in dropping deep to break lines and progress the ball under pressure.

We also examine Benfica’s tactical approach — their inverted full-backs forming a midfield four, their pressing triggers, and how they attempted to create overloads in wide areas. Despite showing clear improvement from the first leg, defensive transitions once again proved costly.

The video highlights:

Tchouaméni’s intelligent movement for the opening goal

Benfica’s wide overload that led to Rafa Silva’s finish

Madrid’s compact 4-4-2 defensive block

Why Madrid were far more dangerous in transition than in settled build-up

Vinícius Júnior’s perfectly timed run that sealed the game
