Chapter 457 Finals Begin

On May 5, Bayern players arrived at Madrid Bajaras Airport and received intense media attention.

Three finals in three years, since the restructuring of the Champions League, Bayern is the second team to complete this feat.

They are also considered by the media to be the second team to defend the Champions League after Real Madrid.

Manchester city duo, Barcelona, ​​from the knockout stage, Bayern began their difficult road to promotion.

The hardships along the way made them the most champion-like team.

With 15 goals in the Champions League, Rossi leads the scorer list and is locked in advance as the top scorer in the Champions League this season.

In contrast, Liverpool led by Klopp is very smooth on the road to promotion, and has hardly been blocked.

But this season's Liverpool has a characteristic, that is, they can often win with wonderful offensive scenes against strong teams.

This gave them enough confidence.

What's more, Klopp's Hornets made it to the final as a dark horse back then.

This time, the duel between Heynckes and Klopp must be very hot.

After checking into the hotel, Bayern started closed training.

The training content is naturally how to deal with Liverpool's high pressure.

There is no doubt that Liverpool's high pressure is an enhanced version of Klopp's time in Dortmund, faster, simpler and more effective.

Bayern's current midfielder can no longer be compared with the configuration five years ago.

Piggy left the European mainstream league, and Mr. Tony became the core of Real Madrid.

The only remaining Hama has already passed its prime.

Whether it can withstand the impact of the current Liverpool team is related to the victory of this game.

Martinez, Thiago, and James put on the red vests that represent the starters during training.

During training, Heynckes chatted with Kimmich and Alaba alone for more than ten minutes.

All this points to the tactics of the finals the day after tomorrow night - defense.

In the first two Champions League finals, Bayern and Real Madrid launched offensive football, both of which were big score scenes, and wonderful goals did not stop.

Facing Liverpool this time, Heynckes unexpectedly kept a low profile and chose a more secure defense to fight against. Was he too cautious?

Bayern has never been afraid of the opponent's attack.

Because no team can attack better than them.

Time flies, and soon it's time for the finals.

Tickets for the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, which can accommodate 68000 fans, are hard to come by.

After the warm-up, the staff quickly set up the stage to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Champions League final.

Pepsi, together with Magnum, cheers for this season's Champions League final.

Songs such as "Believer", "Thunder", "Radioactive" and "On Top of the World", one after another, were superb and sensational.

The gorgeous and shocking stage and the dazzling fireworks made the fans hooked.

You can also watch live concerts.

This ticket is worth it!

As the smoke above the stadium dissipated, players from both sides, who had already lined up in the player tunnel, walked into the stadium with their heads held high under the leadership of referee Damir Skomina.

What attracts everyone's attention is naturally the UEFA Champions League trophy sitting quietly in front of them.

Since the home jerseys of both teams are red, the entire Wanda Metropolis is covered in bright red.

The only difference is that on the stands of Liverpool fans, there are different styles of team flags hanging, which has a sense of history.

"You'II Never Walk Alone!"

And Bayern's fan stand is a whole horizontal bar, spanning half of the stadium, full of momentum.

"Mia san Mia!"

revenge?

In the previous press conference, Klopp faced sharp questions from the media, sneered, and answered sonorously.

"We are here for the championship!"

Obviously, Klopp will treat this game with a more objective and calm attitude.

After taking a group photo, the players from both sides came to the middle circle of the stadium, stood shoulder to shoulder with each other, and performed a simple mourning ceremony.

Spanish winger Reyes, who once played for Arsenal, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, died in a car accident today.

All held a simple moment of silence for him.

After the ceremony, the captains of the two teams walked to the center of the court to guess coins.

Liverpool captain Henderson got the kick-off for the team.

This gave Liverpool the head start.

At the same time, the camera also found the previous captain of the Red Army - Steven Gerrard.

He is now the head coach of the Rangers.

During the glorious period of Liverpool, as the captain, he once led the team to create the "Miracle of Istanbul" and hold high the Champions League trophy.

After 11 years, the team reached the Champions League final again, how could this not make his blood boil.

Suddenly, he looked at the player wearing the red No. 4 on the court, and his heart was complicated.

If the club listened to their own opinions and signed Rossi early, the league title and Premier League title would have been won already.

Now, the player he had been optimistic about stood on the opposite side of his home team, and his mood was complicated for a while.

Bayern Munich is wearing a red jersey.

Goalkeeper: Neuer.

Defense: Alaba, Hummels, Boateng, Kimmich.

Double midfielders: Harvey Martinez, Thiago.

Midfield: Rossi, James, Muller.

Center: Lewandowski.

Liverpool are wearing a gray away jersey.

Goalkeeper: Alisson.

Defense: Robertson, Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Alexander-Arnold.

Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Henderson.

Forwards: Mane, Firmino, Salah.

After the two sides stood in their respective positions and the referee team was in place, the referee Skomina checked the timing and gave a long whistle, blowing the whistle for the opening of the 18-19 UEFA Champions League final.

With Firmino's return pass to defender Van Dijk, Rossi rushed forward at the fastest speed.

Only him?

Klopp was a little curious. He thought that Bayern would send at least three people to press the frontcourt after the opening.

In Liverpool's back row, only Van Dijk was left, and the rest made a quick start and responded in the midfield.

This arrangement allows Liverpool to quickly counterattack after Van Dijk's long pass after quickly establishing a numerical advantage in the midfield.

Unexpectedly, the seasoned Heynckes saw through Liverpool's tactics from the very beginning, and only sent Rossi for a 1v1 matchup.

In this way, even if Van Dijk successfully passes the ball across the half, Liverpool will not have a numerical advantage in the midfield.

The opening rush tactics were seen through, and Van Dijk wanted his teammates to quickly return to the defense to respond, and he slowly figured it out.

But Van Dijk never expected that Rossi's pounce was not only fast, but also blocked his pass to the left.

On his right, teammate Joe Gomez quickly dropped back to respond.

Van Dijk was about to turn around and pass the ball when Rossi suddenly took a step to the other side, making a posture ready to steal the ball at any time.

He finally saw what it was to be alone, to escape the oppressive feeling of two people.

During this hesitation, Rossi suddenly fell to the ground and shoveled the ball away from Van Dijk's feet.

After getting up quickly, accelerate forward immediately.

There was an uproar in the stadium.

The game has just started, Bayern completed steals in the frontcourt and formed an attack.

Just as Rossi moved the ball forward, a huge force came from the side and rear, knocking him down.

In the moment of weightlessness, he saw Van Dyke's fierce face.

boom!
Hey!
The moment Rossi fell to the ground, there was a burst of exclamation from the scene.

The referee Skomina did not blow his whistle, but signaled the game to continue.

Suddenly, two completely different voices in the stadium began to collide fiercely.

The atmosphere of the game quickly reached a climax after the kick-off.
