The Ataturk Olympic Stadium is the largest stadium in Turkey, with a seating capacity of 75,000 spectators, located in the western part of Istanbul, Turkey.

Construction of the course began in 1999 and was completed in 2002.

In 2004, the Ataturk Olympic Stadium was rated a five-star football stadium by the European Football Federation. As you can see from today's final, this stadium is qualified to host all the competitions held by the UEFA Football Federation.

Liverpool's last appearance in a European final was 20 years ago in Brussels. It was also from that time that Liverpool began to be forgotten as the former hegemon of Europe.

Liverpool have already won two titles this season, and although they are the two lightest titles, this final will be an opportunity for a resurgence of the team.

If the League Cup and FA Cup together are not as good as a league title, what about a Champions League title?

Liverpool's KOPs can't wait to take the trophy back and slap the Reds fans in the face.

The Reds' ability to reach the final this time can be regarded as a revival of English football.

Because people believe that it is the irrationality of Liverpool fans that has caused England to not return to the middle of the European football map to this day——— in the eight years before the "Heysel tragedy" in 1985, not only did the Reds win the trophy four times, but Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa also won a total of three times, and European football at that time was completely England's world.

It was the ensuing five-year "ban" that made the Champions Cup a plaything for Italians in the 90s. Among them, Milan reached the final five times between 1989 and 1995, and won the trophy three times, as if stepping on the corpse of the Red Army to create another dynasty.

Now, Liverpool's triumph and Chelsea's second successive Champions League semi-finals have been reached. All signs are that the Premier League, which incorporates more and more continental elements, is rapidly rising and getting closer to the throne that once belonged to itself.

In fact, the fans of Milan in Italy were a little cold compared to the red-hot Red Army fans.

When 30,000 Red Army diehards and 30,000 Chinese fans dyed Istanbul red on Tuesday, more than 2,000 of the 20,000 tickets allocated to Milan fell into Tang Wen's hands. The Italians seem to have begun to get tired of the frequent sights of winning the championship, which has cheapened a "speculator" who is thousands of miles away.

Tang Wen didn't mind turning a small slice of the Milan stands into Liverpool's red, and in fact he did.

And the Chinese fans who come to Istanbul don't care if they are Liverpool fans around them, they are all Tang Wu fans anyway.

Whether it's Italians or Turks, there's always no way to deal with the Chinese who like to get together!

Before the kick-off, the camera caught Maradona, who confidently said in front of the camera: "If there are no accidents, Milan will win the seventh trophy in the team's history." ”

This is one of the few times in history that Maradona shares Pele's views.

The two South American champions are very optimistic about Milan, because Milan's lineup is so luxurious!

The Milan players all walked into the Olympic Stadium in black suits, which was a good demonstration of what it means to be an "Italian man".

Looking at the handsome Milan players in the camera, Huang Jianxiang whispered, "Hey, Junzi, do you want to make a bet?" ”

"What bet? I bet Liverpool will win! Zhan Jun helped his glasses.

"This is the first time Liverpool has reached the final after the restructuring, do you really bet on Liverpool?" Huang Jianxiang said with a grin, "Milan has scored five times!" ”

"So what? I believe in Tang Wu. ”

"Okay, good, you believe in him, and I believe in him!" Huang Jianxiang nodded again and again, "But if you choose Liverpool, I can only choose Milan!" You can't bet on two people! ”

"We can bet on the number of goals." Zhan Jun was still meticulous.

"Forget it!" Huang Jianxiang waved his hand, "I'll bet on Milan!" If I win, I'm happy to win, and if I lose, I'm happy for Tang Wu, and I'm happy anyway! ”

"That's good!" Zhan Jun took out a large red bill from his pocket and slapped it directly on the table.

Huang Jianxiang was a little embarrassed, took out a handful of change from his pocket and said, "You know, your sister-in-law has been a little strict lately."

After checking for a long time, Huang Jianxiang put three pieces of 20, 3 pieces of 10 yuan and two pieces of 5 yuan on the 100 yuan bill, and then pressed them with a book.

If this is seen by the leaders of the station, the impact will definitely not be good.

The Ataturk Olympic Stadium at night is particularly colourful and looks like an oversized mosque from the outside.

Before the game, the Turkish side prepared a compact large-scale cabaret show.

After the performance, it is time for the players of both sides to officially enter the stadium.

Seeing the red Liverpool and the white Milan standing in two teams under the leadership of the referee, Zhan Jun and Huang Jianxiang's blood boiled instantly.

Even if the starting squad has been confirmed for 10,000 times, every time they see Tang Wu who is following Gerrard, their hearts beat wildly.

It's the Champions League!

This is the Champions League final!

Tang Wu reached the final of the Champions League for the second time, if he won the championship

Zhan Jun glanced at Huang Jianxiang on the side, and knew that although the other party was an Italian fan, although it was Milan, and although there were still more than a dozen yuan left in the pocket change, from the bottom of his heart, he still hoped that Tang Wu's team could win.

That's how Chinese fans are.

It's okay to fall in love with a player you've never heard of before, whether it's a First Division, Second Division or even lower. As long as that player is the main player in the team, then there must be many Chinese fans who remember the name of that team and become its fans.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Champions League anthem was being played at the scene, Huang Jianxiang cleared his throat and began to introduce the starting players of both sides.

"We can see that it's AC Milan from Serie A who is dressed in white."

"In this game, Ancelotti lined up a 4312 formation."

"The goalkeeper is the Brazilian Dida wearing the number 1."

The four defenders are No. 2 Cafu, No. 13 Nesta, No. 31 Stam and No. 3 captain Maldini. The 37-year-old Maldini walked into the ring with his age and is the second-oldest captain to play in a final in the history of the Cup. This match was the seventh Champions League final for the horses, equalling Argentine Di Stéfano and only one behind Real Madrid superstar Gento in the 60s. ”

"Maldini has two years left on his contract with Milan and still has a chance to reach the final next year."

The four midfielders are Gattuso, Kaka 22, Pirlo 21 and Seedorf 20. Kaka is the youngest member of the Milan squad at just 23 years old. Of course, he is not the youngest player on the field, he is two years older than Tang Wu. ”

"Milan's two terror terror terrorists are No. 7 Shevchenko and No. 11 Crespo. Speaking of which, Crespo and Tang Wu were teammates at Chelsea, but one of the two switched to Milan this season, and the other threw himself into the arms of the Reds. Unexpectedly, today, the two met in the Champions League final. The conflict between Crespo and Tang Wu is also a highlight of this game."

"Ahem, cough, cough" Zhan Jun coughed lightly on the side, signaling Huang Jianxiang to stop talking, and said a lot of topics that had nothing to do with the introduction of the team members. At this time, several Liverpool players had flashed on the screen, and Huang Jianxiang's rhythm was obviously slow.

After being reminded by his colleague, Huang Jianxiang immediately shut his mouth.

Zhan Jun opened his mouth triumphantly and began to read Liverpool's list.

"On Liverpool's side, the starting goalkeeper is still No. 99 Tang Wu."

"Tang Wu is only 21 years old this year, and he is the youngest player on the field. His ancestral home is Shenyang, Liaoning, and he has been influenced by his parents since he was a child."

Huang Jianxiang kicked Zhan Jun hard under the table, and Zhan Jun came back to his senses, and when Tang Wu was 12 years old, he didn't continue to introduce him.

"Liverpool's four defenders are No. 3 Finnan, No. 23 Carragher, No. 4 Hyypia and No. 21 Traore."

"The midfielders are 10 Garcia, 8 Gerrard, 14 Alonso, 7 Colwill and 6 Reese."

"The lone arrow is the number 5 Czech striker Barosz."

"Judging from the starting list given by Liverpool and past experience, Benitez should be more likely to line up a 4411 formation."

'Cisse was on the bench after returning from injury, and although he scored a crucial goal in the FA Cup final, Benitez clearly believed in the Czechs who were more comfortable with the team in such big situations.

"The players on both sides started shaking hands, and the starters returned to their respective half-time shadows." Huang Jianxiang took the opportunity to answer, "This photo will definitely be precious!" ”

In the shot, Tang Wu stood in the back row on the left with a smile. Raise your left hand to your head and spread your fingers wide.

This is the first Champions League final that Chinese have participated in, and Huang Jianxiang plans to print it out and stick it on his office desktop.

After the family portrait, Maldini and Gerrard also took a photo with Spanish referee Gonzalez and then began to guess the coin.

"I want the ball!" Gerald said.

"Then I want this." Maldini gestured to the right side of the screen.

"Okay, we can see that Gerrard has called all the players together to cheer them on, and the game is about to begin!"

Zhan Jun and Huang Jianxiang straightened their backs, and when the Liverpool players were in formation, Barosh tossed the ball to the side.

The 04-05 Champions League final has officially begun!
