UEFA Champions League: Legia Warsaw 3-3 Real Madrid: 5 Talking Points

Real Madrid played out an entertaining 3-3 draw against Legia Warsaw

#3 Real Madrid's defensive frailties were again on display

Dani Carvajal was not at his usual best for the Los Blancos

Zinedine Zidane has been questioned a lot on his team's defence and that weakness was again on show as Warsaw's forwards went past Madrid's midfield and full-back easily.

The duo of Fabio Coentrao and Dani Carvajal were targeted by Legia as the fullbacks went forward regularly which gave a lot of space for the likes of Radovic and Odidja-Ofoe.

The first goal for the hosts was a result of Carvajal's positioning sense as Ofoe was allowed to roam freely on his side. Nacho, playing as a centre back as a result of injuries to Sergio Ramos and Pepe and was disappointing as he failed to track the movement of Warsaw's forwards.
