"One, one-zero!" With just fifty-two seconds to go, AC Milan took a one-goal lead and took the initiative in this Champions Cup final!" Andy Gray stammered into the microphone in front of him. Obviously, the ace commentator had no idea that Tottenham's goal would be breached so easily by the Rossoneri, "It was Paolo Maldini who scored the goal! What a beautiful half-volley! Looking at his clean shots, it's hard to imagine that this is a veteran who will turn 37 in a month!"

"We would also like to congratulate Maldini for breaking two records at once," Martin Taylor, who had recovered from his previous shock, began to explain the game, "The legendary star not only set the fastest goal ever in the Champions League final. At the same time, with this goal, Maldini also became the oldest goalscorer in the Champions League final!

"Carlo Ancelotti deserves his title as a master tactician. From the slow-motion replays, we can see that before Pirlo's free-kick, Shevchenko, Crespo and Kaka all consciously gathered in the middle of the box, forcing Tottenham to deploy a large number of troops in this area to defend against the huge threat posed by Kaka, which in turn led to Tottenham's defensive strength in other places becoming extremely weak. As a well-known ace commentator in European football, Andy Gray's eyesight is naturally undoubted, and he immediately saw the tactical routine used by AC Milan in this set-piece attack, "Tottenham players still seem to be a little nervous today because of their first Champions League final, which directly has a negative impact on their performance on the field." Otherwise, with their ability, they should not have made such a low-level mistake in the game. ”

"But then again, the Tottenham players were forced to stand like they did in the set-piece defence just now. You must know that their main defender Mascherano is only 1.74 meters tall, and another midfielder Davies is less than 1.7 meters tall. With their height, when they want to get a set-piece in front of AC Milan, it is still quite difficult to defend Shevchenko and Kaka, who are more than 1.8 meters tall, and can only let other teammates come over to help defend. Martin Taylor also admired Ancelotti's hand arrangement, "Coach Ancelotti can be described as an upright strategy, even if someone on Tottenham's side can see the strangeness in this, they have to take the initiative to jump into the pit at this time." Otherwise, Pirlo can choose to pass the ball directly to Sheva and use his height advantage to attack the middle of the penalty area!"

As Martin Taylor has said, Tottenham's defensive quality has improved dramatically under Allegri's tutelage, and Cech has even broken the legendary goalkeeper Ray Brown this season. Clemens holds the record for the fewest goals conceded in the English top flight, but for Ancelotti, who was born in Italian football, has a very solid tactical foundation and is good at finding the opponent's loopholes, Tottenham's defence is obviously not as terrible as those Premier League coaches, and against Tottenham, Davies and Mascherano have weak air defense, and Patrice Evra is suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards, Ancelotti has carefully designed a set of tactics during this time. Judging from the current situation, Ancelotti's move can be said to have just grabbed the seven inches of Tottenham, and has been extremely rewarded!

Maldini's goal immediately detonated the passion of more than 50,000 AC Milan fans in the stands, and for a while, the Ataturk stadium was thunderous, and almost everyone was applauding Maldini's goal!

Maldini himself was also very excited, as the Milan captain opened his arms and hugged his team-mates tightly to celebrate the monumental goal – a fantastic start to the game, which was undoubtedly a wonderful start for Maldini!

Looking at Tottenham's side, the result of losing the goal in less than a minute of the opening game stunned everyone on the field. Until now, Cech, Stephen Carr and the others still looked incredulous, as if they couldn't believe the reality in front of their eyes!

After the resumption of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, who had not recovered from the blow of AC Milan's lightning goal at the beginning, unsurprisingly fell to the bottom, while the Rossoneri took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, taking advantage of the physical strength of the first half to give full play to their advantages in terms of technique, tactics and experience, and firmly grasp the initiative of the game!

Although Tottenham are not blindly beaten on the field, Alonso and Davies have been trying to stabilize the team's tempo and wait for opportunities to organize quick counter-attacks, but under Ancelotti's highly targeted arrangement, Tottenham has struggled to play a dangerous enough attack, and the few shots on goal have been deflected off the target by the likes of Nesta and Stam to convert them into the goals that Tottenham desperately need at the moment.

In contrast, AC Milan's attack looked more threatening. Pirlo and Seedorf, two midfield masters, joined forces to control the rhythm of the game, constantly sending shells to the front, the two gods of Crespo and Shevchenko on the front line made Vidic and Ledley King and others dare not easily leave their respective defensive areas, and Kaka, who appeared in the forward position, took this opportunity to find the weak position in the Tottenham defense, constantly tearing the Tottenham backline!

"I have to say that this style of play at the back of the core of the organization is really very suitable for the current AC Milan team. Seeing that Tottenham has always been suppressed by AC Milan and difficult to turn over, Andy Gray can only honestly explain the game in the live broadcast room, "The presence of Pirlo and Seedorf maximizes Kaka's advantages of good combination of man and ball, fast dribbling speed and strong impact, and the all-round Shevchenko and the sharp sense of smell and shooting skills can pull out enough space for Kakala in front, and Kaka can also use his excellent breakthrough ability to feed Sheva and Crespo...... Against an AC Milan team with such great chemistry, if Coach Nelson doesn't come up with a countermeasure soon, then Tottenham's game will be really dangerous!"

Before Andy Gray's words were finished, Ronaldo was surrounded by Gattuso and Maldini when he broke through on the right side of the front, and unfortunately was cut off. Immediately afterwards, Pirlo's long pass from the back found Kaka, who was cutting forward at high speed, and the latter strode forward to leave Mascherano behind him, and after attracting the attention of Vidic and Ledley King, he suddenly split the ball to Shevchenko who was in an offside position!

2-0!After conceding a goal first, Tottenham suffered another blow in the 27th minute of the game!
