#2 Getting Marco Asensio on

Ente
Asensio was impressive on yet another big occasion

Isco suffered a shoulder problem and had to be taken off at halftime. In his place, Zidane sent in Marco Asensio and, once again, like on several other occasions, he stepped up to the task and made Madrid a far better team.

There was more pace and directness about their counter attacks and Bayern were thrown into a tizzy by how Madrid had switched up their play going forward. They slipped up and Rafinha gifted the ball to Asensio in Zizou's men's defensive half.

Asensio played a quick one-two and motored into the box before bamboozling Ulreich with a delightful finish. His pace down the flanks proved to be a menace and that resulted in Kimmich having second thoughts about joining the attack at every opportunity.

It's not that Asensio is a better player than Isco or vice-versa, it's just that Real Madrid have an abundance of quality in their lineup and each player is a weapon uniquely configured to wreak havoc.

Simply put, Real Madrid will always have a Plan B and the ability to execute it.
