What should I do in 2nd leg vs this formation? As I will need to score at least 1 goal and either draw or win.

I see that 3-5-2 flat is recommended, but I don't have ML, only AML
I suffered a 2-2 draw at home in the CL Quarterfinals. It was frustrating for me as well since I'm not a fan using three 3 DCs against two strikers using July Fourth's counter formation list against a team 11 points below me as well as suffering my second ever draw in the six seasons in the Champions League. My butterfly vs 4-1-3-2 Wide. I switched it up to a 4-5-1 V in the away leg and won 3-1.

It's all about re-adjusting your formation will benefit you. I will also use the element of surprise... save your lineup 3-4 minutes before game time. So that your opponent won't have enough time to change his/her formation.
