If Thibaut Courtois played the whole game, Eden Hazard started on the bench in favor of a Valverde-Benzema-Vinicius Jr trio. Ancelotti then made nine (!) simultaneous changes in the 64th minute, to launch Eden Hazard in false number 9, in place of Benzema. Supported by Asension and Rodrygo in this new line of attack, the Belgian notably took part in the construction of the 2-0 by moving the lines at the entrance to the Turin rectangle before serving Vallejo perfectly … just before to be broke.
The referee let the action unfold and Vallejo served Asensio perfectly for the 2-0. An action that certainly made Brainois score points in the mind of Ancelotti.
