#4 Raphael Varane pushing up
During the Final against Gremio, Real Madrid had major control of the game by dominating possession; Gremio conceded the ball and fell back to condense the team's lines in the middle. This resulted in space being granted for Madrid's centre-backs - Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos, for them to advance with the ball.
Trending
Typically, Ramos would be the one pushing into opponent's middle third; however, Varane was seen taking the ball and sprinting into space, showing extraordinary calmness and brilliant dribbling quality.
His courageousness in moving the ball upfield opened up passing lanes for his midfield teammates Luke Modric and Toni Kroos, allowing the team to circulate the ball better and find spaces behind Gremio's midfield line.
