The two offensive teams both adopted a 4-3-3 offensive formation, but Liverpool's midfielder paid more attention to defense, and Wijnaldum, who was strong in offense and weak in defense, was put on the bench.

Real Madrid's starting lineup is led by Cristiano Ronaldo. It is worth noting that Isco also appeared in the starting lineup, and Bell, who has been in better form recently, sits on the bench.

For Liverpool, Salah leads the trident, Van Dijk and Maguire sit in the defense, and midfielder Zhang Mai is given the greatest autonomy. It can be said that Klopp has the strongest starting lineup for the Red Army.

After warming up before the game, players from both sides went back to the locker room to change, and soon gathered in the narrow player tunnel to wait for their debut.

"Zhang Mai, I heard that you have redecorated the player tunnel at the Emirates Stadium."

In order to relieve the pressure on his young teammates, Milner, who usually doesn't talk much, chatted with Zhang Mai for the first time, and his voice was not low, at least everyone in the channel could hear it.

"Yeah! I just don't know if the Gunners like Liverpool's red decoration?"

Zhang Mai stared at the serious-looking Ramos in the Real Madrid team, and answered slowly.

With a "thud", Arnold, who was not a few days older than Zhang Mai, covered his mouth and laughed wildly, and the tension of several other young Liverpool players began to ease.

Many of the Real Madrid players who were also in the channel had played in the Premier League, so they could naturally understand the meaning of Zhang Mai's words. The atmosphere of the White Legion team became a little tense for a while...

The game was about to start, and players from both sides continued to wait for the tedious pre-match ceremony to end in the player tunnel. Only Zhang Mai and a few teammates around him were chatting as usual.

At this time, ESPN's TV broadcast gave a meaningful shot, Ronaldo was looking at Liverpool's Salah solemnly, CR7's eyes wanted to kill the Egyptian star.

From Ronaldo's eyes, you can see the desire for the Champions League, even though he has won the Champions League four times and participated in the Champions League final for the sixth time in his career.

Like the previous seasons, Ronaldo has performed very well in the Champions League this season. He has scored 15 goals so far, and he is below Zhang Mai in the Champions League scorer list. It is basically useless to win the Golden Boot.

You should hate me even more!With me here, this year's Champions League Golden Boot and European Golden Ball can only be your dreams.

Zhang Mai stepped forward to block Ronaldo's death stare at Salah, and hid the slightly short Egyptian striker behind him.

Due to Real Madrid's poor performance in La Liga and King's two events this season, Ronaldo did not have any trophies in 2018. Therefore, in the competition for the European Ballon d'Or in 2018, the PK with Messi and Salah does not account for any Advantage.

But Zhang Mai is different. Although he failed to make any money in the domestic cup competitions in the UK, he can't hold back the league and Champions League goals. Now he has a total of 66 goals. This season's Melo and whatnot a lot.

Salah is somewhat similar to Ronaldo, scoring 44 goals in all competitions this season, including 32 goals in the Premier League, but Liverpool also has no trophies.

But you, Ronaldo, can't just pick and choose soft bullies!You can't turn a blind eye to me who is more handsome than you when you score more goals.

"Crazy! I'm afraid of being beaten."

Ronaldo seemed to understand something from Zhang Mai's eyes, and turned his eyes away calmly.

Feeling uninterested, Zhang Mai had no choice but to continue to give Ramos his gaze, but the latter lowered his head guiltily.

"Damn it! A dog can't change Chixiang. If you touched Salah today, I will move the whole Real Madrid team."

Zhang Mai let out a sigh in his heart, and walked out of the player channel with the team, and the final decisive moment was finally about to begin...

The Kiev Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate 6 spectators, is crowded with people today, and the shouts are loud, and the fans of the two teams and the melon-eaters in the stands are clearly separated.

Zhang Mai and the Red Army soldiers ran to the red stands of Liverpool fans to wave and salute, almost delaying the normal kick-off ceremony.

"The bumpkin who participated in the Champions League final for the first time, ah bah!"

Seeing this unusual scene, Ramos went to complain in front of Ronaldo, in exchange for the latter's eyes.

"Now beep, why didn't you come out and fight hard in the player tunnel just now? Where were you when they were defending their teammates?"

Cristiano Ronaldo is suffering in his heart, he can only murmur in his heart when the big game is coming soon, but he wished that he also had such a strong teammate.

The official game is about to start, and various live TV media on the sidelines are hurrying to introduce interesting statistics of the two teams that are about to fight for their lives.

Spanish broadcaster:

"Real Madrid is the third team after AC Milan and Juventus to reach the final of the Champions League for three consecutive years, but the last loss in the final of the Champions League was at the feet of Liverpool (3). Zidane ranks with the top Bale still played as a substitute. Ronaldo became the fourth player to participate in at least 3 Champions League finals after Maldini, Gento and Di Stefano. Kroos became the first player to participate in 1 Champions League finals. German players in the final."

"Liverpool entered the Champions League final for the first time in recent years. All the players participated in this highest-level competition for the first time. They are not well-known, so I will not introduce them one by one here!"

The British BBC specially invited two famous Liverpool players, Fowler and Carragher, as guest commentators, naturally boasting about Liverpool:

"Before the game, Shevchenko, the ambassador of this year's final, entered the field with the big ear cup, and we all know that the Ukrainian nuclear warhead has played for Chelsea in the Premier League. This indicates that this year's Champions League champion will finally fall into the hands of Liverpool!"

"Liverpool is the first English team to reach the Champions League final since the 2011-12 season. Klopp continued to use the main lineup that eliminated Rome in the semi-finals. Salah and Mane became the first Egyptian and Senegalese to appear in the Champions League final respectively. The 19-year-old Zhang Mai became the first Asian star to start in the Champions League final, and the same 19-year-old Alexander-Arnold surpassed Hargreaves (Bayern vs. Valencia in 2011, 20 years old) and became the first player to play in the Champions League final. Of course, the youngest player in the game is Zhang Mai who successfully defended the league title and the Golden Boot this year."

Zhan Jun and Huang Tao were still hosting the live broadcast of the live broadcast on China TV. After Huang Tao read a large section of background information, Mr. Zhan Jun, who was the "No.

"As Huaguo football is about to take off, the first UEFA Champions League champion in Huaguo football history led by its own players will undoubtedly be the best start!"

"Please believe that Zhang Mai will never disappoint us. Today's Champions League final is just a small test of Zhang Mai's legendary achievements. The next World Cup will be the biggest stage for him to conquer the world, so please watch it with a normal heart. It's like watching Zhang Mai's performance in the Premier League!"
