Chapter 1255: Milan vs. Atletico Madrid

Maybe many years later, people will still remember Zhang Shujie's world championship and many records broken by Zhang Shujie, but people will also remember the "double pride competition" between Ronaldo and Messi. Let's not discuss Zhang Shujie here, just who is stronger Messi or Ronaldo? Many fans said: "I can't bear to divide the two of them into high and low, I'd rather line them up together." ”

The 35-year-old Messi and Barcelona still have one year left on their contracts, and Barcelona does not seem to have any plans to renew the contract with Messi, and Messi does not take the initiative to propose it, and everything seems to be tacit.

Now that the leagues are over, Ronaldo's retirement has come to an end, and all eyes are focused on the Champions League final, the matchup between AC Milan and Atletico Madrid.

In terms of strength, AC Milan is a step ahead, and in terms of the value and influence of the stars, of course, AC Milan has the advantage, and a Zhang Shujie can be the entire Atletico Madrid. The most famous of the Sheets Army is naturally Griezmann, but Griezmann is also thirty-one years old, only one year younger than Zhang Shujie.

Antoine Griezmann has scored 30 goals for Atletico Madrid in all competitions this season, including 21 in the league, seven in the Champions League and two in the Copa del Rey. Zhang Shujie's statistics are even more terrifying, he scored 55 goals for Milan, 41 in the league, won the top scorer, 13 in the Champions League, also booked the Golden Boot in advance, and another in the Italian Cup.

But these data can only be used as a reference, although Zhang Shujie has scored more goals than Griezmann, can he guarantee that he will score in the Champions League final? Can it also show that Griezmann can't score goals in the Champions League final? This kind of final tests the strength of the team at the same time, sometimes it is necessary to see if there is the favor of the goddess of victory.

AC Milan are all about revenge, and Atletico certainly can't let them get their wish. Tang Ling, who plays for Atletico Madrid, was unable to start in the Champions League final, and Simeone had a better option. This is not because of Tang Ling's strength, but because he is 34 years old, and he will feel tired after playing so far in the season, in Simeone's plan, Tang Ling will be a special flag, and when the team needs to attack, he will naturally be sent to play.

The Champions League final will be held on June 5 Beijing time at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon. In 2014, fans around the world watched Real Madrid lift their tenth Champions League trophy on this field, and who will be crowned champion here this year?

An hour before the start of the game, the fans were already full, and supporters on both sides have been fighting in the stands to see who has more momentum, and this scene has not stopped until the start of the game, but it has the tendency to get worse.

In the first half, AC Milan used defensive counterattacks, which is also a major style of play of AC Milan in recent years. Atletico Madrid is a little bit of passing in the pressing, and Atletico Madrid is no longer the somewhat "dirty" team of the past, they play more passionately and with more technical content.

The first 20 minutes were marked by a few shots from either side, but AC Milan were a little more threatening, hitting 30 metres from the back of Atletico Madrid on three counter-attacks, and two of them were on target, from Zhang Shujie and Thiago Silva, and both hit the woodwork. Atletico, like Milan, had two shots on goal, both of which were taken by Griezmann alone, but his two shots went slightly wide and missed the range of the goal.

In the 27th minute of the game, AC Milan got a great chance in front, Zhang Shujie knocked the ball to Chen Zihua after consecutive breakthroughs, Chen Zihua's shot was saved by Oblak, and Milan won a corner. This time, AC Milan did not pass directly to the penalty area as usual, but played a combination, Chen Zihua knocked the ball to Calabria, Calabria then crossed Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi shot directly from the penalty area, the ball was blocked by the crowd, just blocked at the feet of Andre Silva.

With Silva less than five metres out of goal, he picked up his right leg and fired a shot that slid past Oblak and towards the goal behind him, where it rolled over the line and into the net.

1:0! AC Milan broke the deadlock in the 29th minute thanks to Andre Silva's goal!

This is only Silva's third goal in this Champions League, and he has spent nine games on these three goals, which is not a good result, but Inzaghi still fully trusts him, the main reason is that he can perfectly play Zhang Shujie's wingman, just as Benzema did for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.

The goal that broke the deadlock in the Champions League final was a return to Inzaghi's trust. Silva also helped AC Milan to keep the lead until the end of the first half.

After the start of the second half, Atletico Madrid's attacking rhythm was significantly accelerated, and for a time it was to suppress AC Milan for as long as ten minutes, during which Atletico Madrid had three shots on goal, each time hitting the woodwork, Donnarumma saved twice, and Romagno used his back to block once. Another time, Griezmann's single ball was destroyed by Yan Tao, who quickly returned to the defense, and fortunately it was Yan Tao, who was fast enough, if it was replaced by someone else, this ball would definitely not be able to catch up.

During this period, AC Milan only had one shot on goal, which was completed by Chen Zihua, and it was a great threat, but Oblak saved the ball as if he were a god. In the 59th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid won a free kick in front of the penalty area, which was almost directly in front of the door of Milan, about 23 meters away, which was arguably a good opportunity for Atletico Madrid to equalize.

The on-site commentators said: "Against a top team like AC Milan, set-pieces are a very good opportunity, because there can be enough preparation time, it depends on whether Atletico can grasp it this time." ”

Griezmann have scored seven Champions League goals so far and an eighth would be a lifesaver. Griezmann also knows that such an opportunity will not come easily, so he cherishes it very much.

AC Milan's wall was lined up under the command of Donnarumma, and Griezmann took a few steps back, looked at the referee, then at the goal, and decided which angle to play.

The referee blew the whistle, Griezmann hit the goal with his left foot after running, the ball went around the jumping human wall and flew to the top left corner of the goal, Donnarumma guessed in advance that Griezmann might play here, he was fully prepared, he was confident that he could save the ball, but when he saw the trajectory of the ball, he immediately realized that he couldn't touch the ball.

Now, he only hopes that Griezmann's shot will be deflected off the back of the net.
