At half-time in the Principality Stadium dressing room, the Real Madrid players were frustrated, and feeling a bit of pressure.
Juventus had probably been the better team in the opening period of the Champions League final, and at 1-1 had been putting Zinedine Zidane’s side under a lot more pressure. So, the French manager gave Real rather elementary instructions to prove they were probably the much better team in general.
Zidane told them to use that frustration, to get on the ball more and deny it from Juve, and to aggressively play much higher up the pitch. It worked resoundingly.
