Juventus 3-0 Atletico Madrid: 5 tactics from Allegri that won the game

#3 Nullifying threat of opposition attackers

Juventus v Club de Atletico Madrid - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

Diego Simeone knew that the home team would come at them with everything in their arsenal and as such plotted to exploit the spaces on the counter. However, Allegri seems to have anticipated these tactics from his opposite number and ensured that the away side found little joy in the final third.

Alvaro Morata had a couple of sniffs at goal, but apart from that, Atletico possessed little threat on the night. The occasion was there for them to capitalize, but Allegri's placement of his midfield and defense left little space for the away side to work in. Juventus paid close attention to Griezmann and refused him time or space on the ball. The midfield also covered well for the marauding full-backs and ensured that Juventus were never caught out on the counter.

Allegri's tactics pegged Juventus back and nullified their offensive threat. This enabled Juventus to take control of the tie.
