FC Barcelona Femení’s 4-1 victory over Real Madrid Femenino was a rather intriguing encounter from a Madridista perspective. Las Blancas coach David Aznar did the unexpected and deployed wingers Sofia Jakobsson and Marta Cardona up top in a 4-4-2 diamond, leaving star striker Kosovare Asllani on the bench.

Now, this is controversial. There was a fair bit of criticism of Aznar’s aggressive approach on the ol’ twitter TL, especially when looking at how high Madrid’s line was on the open play goals they conceded. However, I believe that Barcelona’s second and third goals arose from an entirely different problem, which I will get to later in the piece.
