412 Champions League final: star-studded

Borussia Dortmund have been crowned the home double, and the excitement of Dortmund fans has been suppressed to the extreme, and the upcoming Champions League final will be the ultimate test of their season's achievements!

When the news of Tang Hong's contract renewal with Dortmund was announced in midweek, Dortmund fans rushed to tell each other.

According to his trajectory in the past two years, he has been a one-year tour of a club, and this time the renewal of his contract with Dortmund is considered by the German media to be a sign that Dortmund has entered the top ranks of European football!

Despite Dortmund's rise to prominence in the Bundesliga over the past few years, winning the league twice, they have only been able to stand out in European competition with last season's Champions League semi-finals, which are technically top in the Bundesliga, but not yet in Europe.

But now that they have been able to retain a superstar for a long time, and have played at a fantastic level in the league, after reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League last year, Dortmund, who were known as the Young Guards in the media two or three years ago, are starting to mature and become stronger!

They became one of the top in Europe.

It has nothing to do with the result of the Champions League final.

Because if it weren't for the top team, they wouldn't have a superstar like Tang Hong!

Whether Tang Hong renews the contract or not, he actually has no plans to change owners in the summer, otherwise the newly purchased manor will not be a superfluous move.

Before the Champions League final, Tang Hong fully adjusted his state in the preparation and had enough rest and relaxation.

Before leaving for Lisbon, Portugal, Jurgen Klopp expressed his hope for the Champions League final in his pre-match press conference, hoping that the team can show stronger fighting power in the game to win the title.

For Real Madrid's terrifying forward, Klopp chose to be tough in his attitude!

He said that Dortmund's forward line is also the best in Europe!

As for who is stronger, we will know after the game.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke before the game about how Real Madrid have been looking forward to a 10th Champions League title for a long time and now they have a chance to make their dream come true.

He praised Borussia Dortmund's performance and said that the biggest surprise in European football over the years was Dortmund!

Compared to Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, a team that relied on golden football to rise, Dortmund's revival is even more admirable, and even onlookers will be full of respect.

Seventeen years ago, Borussia Dortmund made their first appearance at the top of Europe.

Nine years ago, Dortmund was on the verge of bankruptcy!

Today, Dortmund is back from the darkness!

......

The Dortmund team traveled to Lisbon, Portugal, and at night, Dortmund's buses drove through the streets of Lisbon with the goal of getting to their hotel.

On both sides of the road, you can already see a lot of fans coming to watch the Champions League final.

The number of fans wearing the Borussia Dortmund shirt is significantly lower than that of the fans wearing the Real Madrid shirt.

Not only because Real Madrid has far more fans than Borussia Dortmund, but also because the Champions League final is played in Portugal, the local fans here will basically support Real Madrid.

Tang Hong and his teammates looked at the scene outside the car window and were in a stable mood, and they had already prepared.

The next day was the day of the game.

In the evening, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid arrived at the Stadium of Light.

Sitting in the locker room, Tang Hong remembered the time when he played for Braga two years ago, when they visited the Stadium of Light to challenge Benfica, and everyone's mood may have been similar to now.

I don't think I'm worse than my opponent, but I see myself as a weak party to the outside world.

This makes them more cohesive and more united!

They don't need the courage to win the day, and their firm belief and fighting spirit have never wavered, which is the confidence to do everything with their opponents!

The theatrical performances in the venue have ended, and the countdown to the start of the competition has begun.

Tang Hong and his teammates, who were sitting in the locker room, had serious expressions, and their hearts were already full of fighting spirit.

Jurgen Klopp delivered an impassioned pre-war speech.

Create history, achieve brilliance!

Just today!

There is no need to be too sensational and agitatory, Klopp has been waiting for a long time at this moment, why not the players?

As they walked out of the dressing room to meet Real Madrid's starting line-up in the tunnel, Tang Hong met Gareth Bale, an old acquaintance from last season's Premier League, and nodded to him before withdrawing his gaze.

Although he also crossed paths with Real Madrid last season, and Tang Hong dominated Manchester United's elimination of Real Madrid as the winner.

But he and the Real Madrid generals are still strangers.

On the contrary, he also exchanged shirts with Gareth Bale after the Premier League match.

Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti shook hands before the game, and the world-renowned Champions League final was naturally an opportunity for the coach to make a new history.

Carlo Ancelotti has the chance to become a legendary manager who has led his team to the Champions League three times, while Jurgen Klopp is waiting for the moment to be crowned a world-class manager!

When the starters of the two teams walked into the Stadium of Light, the cheers on the scene suddenly shook the sky!

Star-studded, pinnacle showdown!

"Good evening, spectators, and welcome to the final of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal!

The two teams that reached the Champions League final this season were Real Madrid from Spain and Borussia Dortmund from Germany.

Some media say that this is a final between nobles and commoners!

Real Madrid have won the Champions League nine times, Dortmund only once, and it is indeed a battle between nobles and commoners in terms of honor.

In terms of the scale and investment of the club, Real Madrid is also significantly ahead of Dortmund all year round!

Even in terms of the team's value now, Real Madrid is crushing Dortmund!

But the strength of the football field is not judged by value and history.

This is not a sport where the strong must win, but a contest where the winner is king!

Real Madrid are looking forward to winning the Champions League for the 10th time in the club's history today!

Borussia Dortmund are also looking to complete a resurgence as European champions!

Here's a look at the starting lineups of both teams.

Borussia Dortmund starting XI 433.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Piszczek, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer.

Midfielders: Sven Bender, Mkhitaryan, Gundogan.

Forwards: Reuss, Lewandowski, Tang Hong.

Real Madrid started 442.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Coentrão.

Midfielders: Gareth Bale, Modric, Khedira, Di Maria.

Forwards: Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid's main full-back Marcelo was not named for the game due to a minor injury, but he may be on the bench and midfielder Maronso sat in the stands due to suspension.

In addition to that, both teams fielded the strongest squads of the teams.

It is worth mentioning that in the Champions League scorer list, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo is far ahead with 16 goals, and Dortmund's Tang Hong ranks second with 11 goals.

Well, let's watch this season's Champions League final and see who can become the king of Europe this season! ”

With the referee's whistle to start the game, the cheering at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon was earth-shattering, and Real Madrid, who took the lead in launching a fast attack on the Dortmund defense, played very concisely and clearly.

Luka Modric split the ball down the left in midfield, and Di Maria burst through the ball and crossed diagonally to the left in front of the box.

Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball and flicked it head-on past Sven Bender, and before Gundogan got close, he shot from a distance!

Perhaps he wasn't fully in shape after the start of the game, and he fired an anti-aircraft gun on the goal.

Dortmund immediately launched a fast attack and returned to color.

When Mkhitaryan knocked the ball back to Gundogan in the middle of the pitch, the latter sent a diagonal pass to the left side of the pitch.

Tang Hong touched the ball and turned inward, and Carvajal immediately recycled the middle zone to approach the opponent and prepare to intercept with his feet.

But he saw Tang Hong stop pulling the ball back in front of him, Tang Hong seemed to be about to break through on the outside, and Carvajal also stopped and turned around to force it, but Tang Hong cut the ball in front of him again!

In terms of rhythm, Carvajal was deceived by Tang Hong, and when he turned around and was about to foul, Tang Hong had already passed the ball out, because Modric was in place!

Lewandowski took the initiative to receive the ball with a kick, and the football rolled to the front of Tang Hong's running position.

Tang Hong took the ball and faked to the middle of the penalty area, but in front of Ramos, he smashed the ball with his right foot and broke through from the outside to the penalty area.

Ramos reacted quickly, turned around and immediately retreated to blockade.

Tang Hong did not accelerate to the left rib hinterland of the penalty area, but just entered the penalty area and shot with his feet!

The left-footed ball flew into the far corner of the goal, but it was clearly lacking in power.

Casillas played steadily, pounced on the ball and held it firmly.

Both teams had one shot on goal each after the opening period, but Borussia Dortmund looked more dangerous with a shot from inside the box.

Dortmund immediately followed the attack and launched a defensive counter-attack in the midfield.

Unlike Bayern Munich's overly aggressive counter-attacking against Real Madrid, Dortmund's counter-attacking targets were more clearly targeted at Modric and the wingers.

Real Madrid passively could only kick the ball forward from the back.

Benzema retreated to meet the header from the middle of the ferry to find Gareth Bale, who cut inside and was intercepted by Schmelzer, and the ball changed direction to accelerate and continued to cut inside before trying a long-range shot himself.

The left-footed shot was clearly flawed and stumbled into the Dortmund box.

Weidenfeller confiscated the ball.

The Welsh superstar, who recently overtook the Copa del Rey final in Spain, is also a threat that the Dortmund defence has to take seriously!
