In mid-May, the weather in the Scottish Highlands is at its brightest, and without the rainy winter and spring, there is only the bright spring light of early summer and the "spring light" when the plaid skirt floats (it is said that Scottish men wear plaid skirts without underwear).

The melodious sound of bagpipes permeates Glasgow with the delicate aroma of thistle blossoms in early summer, the doors of taverns are pushed open on the streets, the smell of roasted malt whisky spreads into the quiet streets with a push and a pull, and the Scots love to make wine and drink, especially when there are games in the Hamptons.

Hampton Park is a scottish football mecca and one of the few five-star stadiums in Europe, and it also has a special significance in the history of modern football, the "Queen's Park" team that founded the stadium was one of the first football teams in the world, and they contributed many new rules to modern football, such as free kicks, half-time breaks, and the addition of crossbars to the goal posts.

The team was named Hampton Park when they first started their home, and although they advertised themselves as not playing professionally, they had a large following in Scotland in the eighties of the 19th century, and even their warm-up games were attended by many fans. In the twentieth century, when the team finally started playing professionally, there was a need for a qualified course, and they later established the Hampton Court Park in the south of Glasgow.

This May 2002, this season's Champions League final will be played at this legendary stadium.

Real Madrid arrived in Scotland on 13 May, having finished the final round of La Liga the day before, beating Deportivo La Coruna 3-0 with a squad of pure substitutes and young players, but that doesn't matter to Real Madrid, even the most discerning Real Madrid fans won't have a problem with the defeat in this game, after all, the Champions League final will be held on 16 May.

Real Madrid who came to Glasgow seemed very low-key, although the outside media had begun to prepare the front-page headline of Real Madrid's championship, but Real Madrid itself seemed surprisingly calm, from the club management to the coaching staff and players, Real Madrid was not proud of the opponent was Bayer Leverkusen, this team that is not too famous in the Bundesliga has given everyone a lot of surprise, Real Madrid does not want to be a stepping stone for them to go dark.

However, the outside media has some opinions on Real Madrid's low-key, they think that it is difficult for Leverkusen to challenge Real Madrid's status, and Real Madrid is so low-key that they have a lot less topics to report, according to the media's point of view, the process of this game should be Real Madrid's arrogant celebration of winning the championship in advance, and then Leverkusen is dark to the end, and finally Real Madrid has become everyone's laughing stock, the reason why the media have such an idea is not because they have an opinion on Real Madrid, It's because the media knows that most neutral fans are actually sympathetic to the weak, and the story of the Warriors challenging the dragons is still very selling in the Western world.

Bayer Leverkusen arrived a few days earlier than Real Madrid, and the Bundesliga has four fewer games than La Liga, so the Bundesliga game ended on May 4.

This season's Bundesliga dark horses are frequent, Bayern has been down all the way since the beginning of the season, and finally only finished third in the league, narrowly retaining the qualification for the Champions League, and the final championship of the league was won by Dortmund, they scored 70 points in 34 rounds of the league and won the Bundesliga championship this season, while Bayer Leverkusen unfortunately won the second place in the league because of the loss to Nuremberg in the penultimate round, you must know that in the previous round they were still two points ahead of Dortmund, but this is actually no way, Bayer Leverkusen played Manchester United at Old Trafford just three days before the 33rd round of the league game, and although the 2-2 score allowed Bayer Leverkusen to finally qualify for the Champions League final, it had a huge impact on their form in the league.

"Gentlemen, the other side is a team with very good strength, so I think you should not relax too much, especially pay attention to several young players in their squad, Ballack and Basturk in the midfield, Lucio in the back, and Berbatov in the front, these young players are young but very strong, so don't be careless, look at who they have beaten? Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona and Deportivo La Coruna are not easy opponents to deal with, but Bayer Leverkusen have beaten them, and this alone shows their quality. ”

At Real Madrid's residence, Bosque was telling the players what to pay attention to in this game, and Bosque did not dare to be careless about the Bayer Leverkusen team, which is not so easy to deal with.

Liu Han doesn't know much about the strength of his opponents, but he thinks that a team with an average age of less than 27 years old can break into the final is quite good. The teams that can break into the knockout stage of the Champions League are very good teams, and their players need not only skills, but also experience, and teams without two or three levels of experience will struggle to reach the knockout stage of the Champions League.

On the other side, Bayer Leverkusen's head coach Top? Müller is also telling his players about what to look out for in the game, and although he has said it many times in the past few days, Topmueller has said it again.

In Topmüller's story, there is a Chinese pronunciation that he said many times, that is, "Liu", for this Chinese pronunciation, Topmüller now speaks very standardly, and the players of Leverkusen also remember it very well.

This Oriental, whom they are not familiar with, is now the most famous star in the whole of Europe, not to mention his worth of 70 million, not to mention, a whopping 54 goals in a season alone is enough to amaze the entire European football world, and more importantly, this tall Oriental has many times saved Real Madrid at the last moment, which is even more concerning.

There are many young players in the Leverkusen squad, and they are already familiar with Liu Han, although some people are jealous of Liu Han, but more of them are admiring this young man, who is already on his way to his third Champions League title at the same age.

"Boys, we've got two runners-up and I don't want a third." Topmüller finally addressed the players in a very solemn tone. (To be continued.) )
