Zidane might have been questioned by the Madrid fans for his starting XI but the substitutions he made were brilliant. The timing and the player selections were just too good and that changed the game in Madrid's favour.
He first brought on Gareth Bale for Karim Benzema in the 68th minute and that made things difficult for Yuri Berchiche. The full-back was unable to contain the Welshman just because of his sheer pace.
The best substitution, however, was bringing on Asensio for Isco in the 79th minute and he provided an assist to Ronaldo within 4 minutes. He again provided a beautiful ball to Marcelo and the Brazilian full-back made no mistake and won the game 3-1 for them.
