The final frame

A mention of Barça's finish to the match. While Araújo played as a striker against Girona , Flick used a different approach against Madrid. He kept three players at the back (Koundé, Araújo, and Balde), with De Jong helping out in the back as the main midfielder, Roony on the right wing in width, Fermín on the left as a false winger, and Lamine Yamal with complete freedom. A few minutes later, even the Uruguayan center back joined the line as a striker. And Barça managed to push Madrid back into their own box without letting them out: 78% possession, only 27 touches of the ball by Real Madrid outside midfield, and five shots by Barça (two on target).
