Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale combined to score the opening goal in Real Madrid's 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund, they also made significant contributions in defence on Tuesday evening.
Their
respective heatmaps show that the No.7 and the No.11 spent almost as
much time in their own half of the pitch as they did in the opposition's
half.
Zinedine Zidane's message that the defence does not depend
solely on the defenders finally seems to be understood by the attacking
pair.
They tracked back time and time again to offer support at
the back, before sprinting forward several times on the counter attack.
Given
that Los Blancos have only kept a clean sheet in two of their nine
matches so far this season, this could be a significant development for
future matches.
