Wembley Stadium, formerly known as the Imperial Stadium, was built on 23 April 1923 and has hosted five Champions League finals.

The first was in 1963, when Milan and Benfica faced off, and the Rossoneri won the first Champions League in the club's history.

The second time was in 1968, when United defeated Benfica 4-1 in extra-time to win the title, becoming the first English team to win the Champions League.

In 1971, Ajax and Panathinachs were welcomed here, and Cruyff's Ajax had the last laugh to open a chapter in their Champions League triumph;

In 1978, Liverpool won the Champions League at Wembley Stadium with a narrow 1-0 win over Brugge in Belgium with a goal from "The King" Dalglish.

The last time the old Wembley Stadium hosted a Champions League final was in 1992, when Cruyff's Barcelona Dream Team defeated Sampdoria to win the first Champions League trophy in the club's history.

Pelé once said, "Wembley is the church of football, the capital of football, and the heart of football", and every player takes playing at Wembley Stadium as their dream.

But the fact is that Wembley Stadium is getting old and ageing and no longer able to meet the demands of modern football.

On October 7, 2000, the FA demolished the old Wembley Stadium at a cost of 798 million pounds to build the new Wembley Stadium, the world's largest ultra-luxury stadium with the second largest capacity in Europe.

The Champions League final on 28 May will be the first time the new Wembley Stadium has been completed, and both teams have won at Wembley Stadium before, and whoever wins will make history this time.

Manchester United is the club with the most fans in the world, and Barcelona has attracted countless fans in recent years due to its brilliant results and beautiful style of play, and this pinnacle matchup has also attracted Manchester United and Barcelona fans from all over the world to come to London to watch the game.

The game started at 7.45pm, and with more than two hours to go, there were endless queues of fans at the gates of Wembley Stadium.

There are also a lot of fans who don't have tickets, some of them are anxious to bargain with scalpers holding "need tickets", some sing the team song with a beat, some provoke and scold the opponent's fans, and some play with their mobile phones to enjoy themselves.

Zhu Daqiang, Yu Lei, Yang Fan, and Yu Debao naturally don't need to be in such a hurry, they came to London in the morning, stayed in the hotel, went to the final theme park in Hyde Park in the afternoon, and arrived at Wembley Stadium at about seven o'clock in the evening.

Zhu Daqiang and Yu Lei heard that this year's real-name system will be carried out, and the inspection is very strict, not to mention mineral water, and even professional cameras are not allowed to bring, they believe that the Europeans are rigorous, and they really didn't bring anything, but when they passed through the turnstile, they found that the real-name system turned out to be! And what professional camera doesn't let you bring is pure... The security check is also average, which is 108,000 miles worse than the security check of the Chinese Olympic Games.

Zhu Daqiang said regretfully: "I would have taken my SLR with me if I knew it." “

The monkey smiled and said, "Use mine, I'll bring it." “

Zhu Daqiang said angrily: "Monkey, why didn't you remind me to let me take it." “

The monkey laughed, "I'm afraid you won't listen to me if I remind you." “”

Yu Lei said with a smile: "I thought that Europeans were very strict, but I didn't expect ...... I was so naïve. “

Yang Fan said: "I used to think the same way, but after living in Europe for a few years, I realized that they are all monkeys, and who is much stronger than whom." ”

Zhu Daqiang said: "People's 28 is still stronger than you." ”

Yang Fan said: "Strong fart, they are big and useless, how can we be strong." ”

The monkey said, "Boom, don't talk about it, and besides, they will arrest you as hooligans." ”

Everyone talked and laughed and found their seats, did a good job, and waited for the start of the game.

On the field, the theatrical performance has just ended, the players of Manchester United and Barcelona are warming up before the game on the green and shiny turf, the hosts of various TV stations have already occupied the far sideline, and hundreds of reporters are tracking Gao Xiaodong, Messi and other big-name stars with cannon barrels, capturing every detail of the warm-up.

The warm-up between Manchester United and Barcelona was a lot of fun, with Barcelona practising their game of catching hoops and Manchester United practising their shots after a while, showing the different styles of football between the two clubs.

After the main players of both sides warmed up for more than ten minutes, they returned to the locker room, and only the substitutes were left on the field to continue warming up.

At this time, the on-site commentators have already obtained the starting lists of both sides, and they began to announce the starting lineups and formations of both sides to the fans, waiting for the official start of the game.

Barcelona line-up today: 1-Valdés, 2-Alves, 14-Mascherano, 3-Pique, 22-Abidal, 6-Xavi, 16-Busquets, 8-Iniesta, 7-Villa, 10-Messi, 17-Pedro

This is a lineup that is not at all unexpected, and even a pseudo-fan can guess it.

In fact, there is no secret to Barcelona's style of play, that is, ball control and short pass penetration, but Barcelona's strength lies in the fact that the whole world knows their starting lineup and style of play, but they just can't prevent it.

Manchester United started today with a 442 formation, with 1-Van der Sar in goal, 20-Fabio, 5-Rio Ferdinand, 15-Vidic, 3-Evra, 25-Valencia, 13-Park Ji-sung, 24-Fletcher, 10-Gao Xiaodong, 7-Rooney, 14-Hernandez.

After the on-site commentator announced the starting lineup, Manchester United fans were shocked, the only high-level center Berbatov did not play, Nani, who had the strongest breakthrough ability, did not play, and even Scholes and Ryan Giggs did not play, except for Gao Xiaodong, these players on the field are all blue-collar players with strong running ability.

Such a lineup will definitely not be an attack, and it is likely to be a defensive counterattack, but it may be a crazy rush in the midfield and destroy Barcelona's possession.

Huaguo commentator He Hui exclaimed: "If this is Manchester United's lineup today, Ferguson's courage and adventurous spirit are really admirable." In terms of running ability, this lineup is estimated to be the strongest in Europe, but the offensive organization can only rely on Gao Xiaodong alone, this is a shocking gamble, I just don't know who the final winner is. ”

In the dressing room, Barça's players and coaches also got Manchester United's starting line-up.

After watching it, Pep Guardiola smiled and said, "What do you think of Manchester United's starting line-up?"

Assistant coach Villanova said: "I don't think it's possible to be the last lineup, such a lineup, do they still have to attack?"

Xavi said: "Ferguson likes to play tricks and I think it could be replaced by Paul Scholes. ”

Pep Guardiola shook his head and said: "No, I think this is probably the last starting line-up for Manchester United, and they are going to disrupt our passing with pressing. ”

Vilanova said: "If Manchester United don't play the iron bucket formation, I don't believe they can steal our ball, besides, even if they can steal our ball, who will organize the attack? ”

Pep Guardiola said: "It's not clear for the time being, but obviously, Ferguson is going to go crazy and rob us, I hope everyone pays attention, you have to concentrate on passing the ball, and besides, no matter what tactics they use, as long as we play our own style, we can beat all opponents." ”

Pep Guardiola's sonorous words made the bewildered Barcelona players calm down and confident.

Indeed, Barça's tactical style of play has never changed for decades, and their victory is not based on tactics, but on strong technique and football philosophy.
