As is customary, both managers announced their starting line-ups before the game.

Both teams have a very full lineup, and there are no players suspended, so they are playing with the strongest lineup.

Inter Milan were the home team tonight, with Jose Mourinho in a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Cesar, Zivu, Lucio, Samuel and McCone at the back from left to right, Thiago Motta, Cambiasso and Zanetti in midfield, and Pandev, Diego Milito and Eto'o up front.

It's four, three, three, but in reality, for most of Inter's season, Pandev should have been a little further down, while Diego Milito and Samuel Eto'o were more likely to roam the flanks and retreat aggressively.

When it comes to counter-attacking, Milito's tactical role and Eto'o's pace are quite terrifying.

This was on full display in the first leg of the semi-final knockout of Barcelona.

Real Madrid are the visiting team tonight, and Benitez is still in a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Arbeloa from left to right, the midfield is Mascherano and Xavi Alonso, Sneijder is in the middle, and the front is the trident combination of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben.

In terms of starting line-up selection, Benitez replaced Maxwell with the more attacking Marcelo, which also represents Real Madrid's attitude in tonight's game and shows that the team wants to actively seize the attack.

As for saying that Kaka did not start, this is not surprising, because Kaka has been injured for half a year, and his performance is not stable enough after his comeback, and it is not appropriate to rush him to start in such an important final.

…………

After a brief pre-match Champions League final ceremony, the players of Real Madrid and Inter Milan walked onto the pitch under the leadership of England referee Webb as the St. Bride Cup was being played at the entrance of the players' tunnel.

With nearly two-thirds of the Real Madrid fans in the stadium, they had the advantage in terms of momentum, which was also Real Madrid's home advantage tonight.

However, although Inter Milan's fans are inferior in numbers, they are not far behind in terms of momentum.

Obviously, the duel on the field of play also extends to the stands.

And when Yang Yang walked behind the team, under the leadership of the captain Casillas on the field, shook hands with the referee team and the Inter Milan players one by one, he obviously felt the hostility and fighting spirit in the eyes of the Inter Milan players.

In the current world of European football, all teams' defensive players are proud to freeze Yang Yang, let alone in such an important and crucial final.

Jose Mourinho has always been known for his caution, and this one was no different.

In addition to arranging McCone on the right side, he also let the Argentine veteran Zanetti, who originally played right wing-back, appear in this position on the right side of the back three, which is obviously hoping that Zanetti and McCone can freeze Yang Yang at the same time.

In addition, Eto'o's counter-attack in front will also be a headache for Real Madrid, especially against Marcelo's side, which will definitely be something Real Madrid need to pay attention to.

However, Yang Yang is also used to these.

Back in their respective halves, the two sides set up a position, with Casillas and Zanetti guessing the edge, and Real Madrid losing serve.

……

When referee Webb blew the whistle, Inter Milan quickly kicked off.

Milito played the ball through to Samuel Eto'o and the Cameroonian striker quickly crossed it back to the backline.

Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben rushed forward at the same time and rushed straight to the Inter backline.

Former Real Madrid centre-back Samuel chased the ball all the way back, grabbed ahead of Yang Yang, and assigned it to McCone on the right side.

Yang Yang immediately changed direction and chased towards Maikong.

The Brazilian right wing-back sent the ball up front for Samuel Eto'o, but as soon as Eto'o got the ball, Real Madrid had already taken control of the situation around him, and Inter tried to pass the ball back in the middle of midfield, but Sneijder interfered with it and Mascherano tackled.

Yang Yang turned his back to the direction of the attack in the front court and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

When the ball arrived, he immediately passed back to Marcelo, who was cut in on the left, and he turned and chased quickly behind McConn.

Marcelo understood, quickly kicked a long pass over the top, and sent the ball to the direction of Yang Yang's sprint.

McCone stayed behind Marcelo, Zanetti chased Yang Yang all the way back to defense, and blocked the inside, not giving Yang Yang a chance to cut inside, but Yang Yang's left foot was very flexible, caught up and stopped the ball, and accelerated to the bottom line, forcibly used the speed to shake off Zanetti, and crossed with his left foot.

In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic, under the interference of Lucio behind him, raised his right foot and padded Yang Yang's cross further high, trying to cushion it to the back point for Robben.

But at the critical moment, Qi Wu took the first step to clear the ball and defused Real Madrid's first attack after the opening.

The entire Bernabeu Stadium was also a sigh of regret.

……

"Real Madrid played very resolutely after the opening, but Inter Milan's defense was also very good and did not leave any holes for Real Madrid."

"It can be seen that the players of both teams have done their homework before the game, and they are in good shape, and the game has gone straight to the main topic at the beginning, and I believe it will be a very exciting matchup."

"Look at this time, it's still Real Madrid's attack, or it's passed to the left and handed over to Yang Yang."

"Yang Yang took the ball, faced with McCone and Zanetti's left and right strikes, Sneijder came over to answer."

"Beautiful two-over-one, Yang Yang rushed to the middle with the ball ......"

"Zanetti committed a decisive foul and the referee gave Real Madrid a free kick in front."

"This time it's a bit far away and it's on the left."

"It should be said that Zanetti's foul is very decisive and very experienced, he knows very well under what circumstances he will not give the other party a chance, I believe that Mourinho must be the focus of the team's foul area before the game, Yang Yang's direct free kick is also a very important scoring weapon for Real Madrid."

"This time the penalty was taken by Marcelo, and it seems that Yang Yang also feels that he is not very sure and wants to cooperate."

"Real Madrid took a free kick, and at the back point, it was Ziwu who grabbed the first point."

'The ball was still under the control of Real Madrid, handed to Xavi Alonso, and the long pass went to the edge of the box to find the centre-forward.

"Ibrahimovic grabbed the first point with Lucio, and the Brazilian central defender cleared the ball with a header and headed it back."

"Sneijder grabbed the point, took it forward, and shot straight away."

"It's high!"

'It was the first shot of the night from both teams, Sneijder, a midfielder from Real Madrid.

"It took more than three minutes to shoot a shot, and Inter Milan's defense tonight was very tight, especially in the ribs and the middle, which can be said to have laid heavy troops, not giving Yang Yang and Robben the slightest space."

……

"It's still an attack handed over to Yang Yang."

"Marcelo came up to answer and then passed it back to Yang Yang......"

"Yang Yang forced a breakthrough through McConn ...... with the ball"

McCone was in hot pursuit, and the two were racing for speed.

"Yang Yang entered the penalty area, a quick stop, and then buckled, crossed to the middle, and had a chance to ......"

'Oops, Ibrahimovic fell in the Inter penalty area, and the Swedish centre-forward was a little bit worse.

"Referee Webb signaled that Samuel's defense was not fouled."

'We looked at the slow-motion replay and it was a very timely tackle as Samuel and Lucio flanked Ibrahimovic in front and back and forth, without giving the Swedish centre-forward a chance to shoot.

"Yang Yang's forced breakthrough this time is very beautiful, but unfortunately, Real Madrid's attack is still a little worse."

……

'Look at this time, Xavi Alonso split the ball to the right and handed it to Robben.

"Robben faced Ziwu on the wing, one-on-one, picked the ball, Robben was very fast, shook off Ziwu, dribbled into the penalty area, faced Cambiaso, a beautiful cross ......"

"Ball to the middle, Ibrahimovic ......"

"Lucio used his body to block Ibrahimovic's shot at the crucial moment."

"Real Madrid's offensive has been very fierce in this period."

"In the first ten minutes, Real Madrid can be said to have the advantage, Inter Milan is very passive, we have seen such a scene in the semi-finals Inter Milan against Barcelona in the two legs, but the final results of both games are shocking, Inter Milan just held the goal and won the victory."

"Let's see if Inter Milan continues to upset Real Madrid tonight? Or will the Galacticos win their tenth Champions League on their home turf? ”

……

The trend of the game was basically in line with the commentators' comments and the speculations of the pre-match critics.

Real Madrid had the advantage from the start, while Inter Milan were beaten passively at every turn.

But just like the two legs of Inter Milan vs. Barcelona in the semi-final, the Nerazzurri relied on a tenacious defence to make the 30-metre area in front of their goal almost monolithic, leaving no space for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid went on a rampage in the first ten minutes of the opening kick-off and created chances one after another.

It wasn't until the 14th minute that Inter played a counter-attack, but Diego Milito's cross from the left side of the box was headed clear by Vermaelen and denied Inter a chance to shoot.

The Nerazzurri's first shot on goal came in the 24th minute with a long-range effort from Pendev, which was also unable to threaten the Inter defence, but Real Madrid were also unable to shake the Inter defence.

Yang Yang was as active as ever on the left side, even if McCone and Zanetti teamed up, they couldn't freeze Yang Yang's play, so they could only isolate him as much as possible, not giving him the opportunity to face the goal directly, and at the same time trying to cut off the cooperation between Yang Yang and his teammates.

This style of play is the same as when Inter Milan limited Messi, and even Mourinho invested more defensive troops.

Real Madrid changed tactics many times to play on the right side, but Robben did not have much advantage against Zivo either.

With a back four, a back three, and an aggressive front trident, Inter Milan has blocked almost any space that could threaten the goal through this tight defensive position.

Jose Mourinho doesn't even bother with the disparity in possession, he only cares about one thing, and that is whether his team can hold it.

Because he believes that as long as the team can hold on, with Real Madrid's unstable backline, sooner or later flaws will be exposed.

And it turns out that Mourinho guessed right!
