And the Champions League final is not only a battle for glory, but also a battle for money. According to a Mastercard tally, the total economic impact of the Champions League final design amounted to 269 million euros.

According to Mastercard, the winner of Saturday night's Champions League final will receive 126 million euros, while the loser will also receive 73 million euros, while the host city of London will also receive 52 million euros. If all the economic benefits are taken into account, the economic effect of the entire Champions League final will amount to 369 million euros.

Barcelona or Manchester United, who can be the biggest economic beneficiary? There will be a final result in the early morning of the 29th.

Simon Chadwick, director of the study at Coventry University's International Centre for the Economics of Sport, said the growth in economic value was influenced by the club's image rights, television rights and more.

The report also shows that the impact of the Champions League final is not only in Europe, but also in Latin America, which will be as high as 100 million euros. Chadwick believes the impact of this final in Latin America will be record-breaking considering that there are 12 South American players in the two teams participating in the Champions League final, and that 40% of South Americans have Spanish roots.

However, this is nothing!

Because all of them combined, none of them have a great influence, that is, Dong Fangzhuo's influence in Asia, and he alone will create 300 million euros for Asia! Among them, there are as many as 250 million in China.

After Mastercard's report came out, the English newspaper The Times exclaimed: God, when we thought that the center of football was in Europe, we were actually putting on a show for the Chinese. The economic benefits brought by Chinese Dong in China are so great that the whole of Europe is no match, so how important is it to have a Chinese player? Manchester United lost nearly ten years of gold, not to mention a Cristiano Ronaldo......

The Times always had to expose Manchester United's scars, and then they continued to tout Dong Fangzhuo:

"You can't imagine how many people in China are paying attention to China Dong, in the past, everyone in the streets of China would know David Beckham and Ronaldo, but now they don't know Messi, they don't know Ronaldo, but they all know China Dong, they already have their own national hero and football icon, and they are the only one, he is the god of this country, just like Maradona is to Argentina, Pele is to Brazil......"

Finally, the day of the Champions League final has finally arrived. The two teams have been in a state of flux for a week, and Ferguson and Jose Mourinho didn't have much to say in their pre-match press conference, because the media, fans, players and celebrities all said that what secrets could they have?

Whether it is Ferguson or Mourinho, they are all used to seeing big scenes, playing Champions League finals, winning Champions League managers, and they all choose to directly announce the starting lineup.

Manchester United: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar

Defenders: Fabio, Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra

Midfielders: Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Park Ji-sung

Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Hernandez

Without Cristiano Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo, and without Modric, Ferguson has already reverted to his old formation, 4-4-2.

Ferguson said: "As everyone guessed, Manchester United has no secrets, it's a game of willpower. ”

Mourinho then played at home, and he also said bluntly: "For Real Madrid, it is the opponent's fear that changes, not Real Madrid's change because of the opponent, Ferguson is right, this game is a contest of willpower." ”

Real Madrid, on the other hand, was still 4-3-3.

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo

Midfielders: Alonso, Luka Modric, Khedira

Forwards: Dong Fangzhuo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria

No matter how many people predicted the lineup before the game, no one guessed exactly right in the end.

"Khedira?"

"Although I expected Mourinho to play with three midfielders, I really didn't expect to use Khedira, I thought he would also use Las Diarra, or let Dong play in the middle, with Alonso and Modric behind him. I feel like Khedira is going to be a big risk. ”

The moment he got the starting line-up, Lineker was surprised by Mourinho's use of personnel, mainly because Khedira has not played for too long, can he be fit to play well? This is the biggest question.

"But the showdown between South Korean Park and Chinese Dong is very interesting......"

※※※※

Outside Wembley Stadium, many fans without tickets sat in the square, ready to watch the game through the big screen, and the types of fans were very complex, Manchester United fans, Real Madrid fans, British fans, fans from other European countries, and Chinese fans. The most prominent are the Chinese fans who wear Dong Fangzhuo's shirt.

Nearly 2,000 fans were stranded outside the square!

Everywhere in the camera, it seems that everyone is in a bad mood? The expression on his face doesn't look like he's watching the game, so why is his face full of anger?

Shouldn't you be elated to watch the game......

At this time, Huang Jianxiang said righteously in the live broadcast: "Did you see it, there were nearly five or two Chinese fans outside the stadium who failed to enter the stadium." ”

"It's a disgrace."

"It's a hoax."

"It's hard to imagine that anyone would dare to cheat in such a high-profile game. Two years ago, when I was in Milan, I met two children who had been scammed by scalpers from China. They traveled thousands of miles from China to Milan to watch Dong Fangzhuo's game, but found that they couldn't enter the stadium and the tickets in their hands were fake. ”

"It's the same today, it's just that the number is terrifying, 2,000 Chinese fans have been deceived, and it is still Chinese who deceive them. Now the British police and the domestic police are already carrying out a joint arrest operation, and it is believed that these criminals will be arrested soon, but today Londoners can only arrange for Chinese fans to watch the game outside Wembley Stadium. ”

"Some Chinese people are really embarrassed to be thrown abroad......"

"Ahem, okay, there are still ten minutes to go, and the players on both sides are already waiting in line at the entrance of the players' tunnel."

The camera cuts to the players' tunnel at Wembley Stadium, and everyone sees a heartwarming scene.

Dong Fangzhuo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric have been chatting and laughing with their former Manchester United team-mates, and it doesn't look like a solemn Champions League final at all.

"Dong Fangzhuo is now holding Giggs, one is less than 27 years old, the other is 38 years old, if Dong Fangzhuo does not leave Manchester United, he has also been the captain of Manchester United for many years, but ......"

'It's not easy for Alex Ferguson, even the 37-year-old Scholes has to sit on the bench, there are too many veterans at Manchester United, he has done his best.

At this time, in Wembley Stadium, the music of the Champions League played impressively, and the passionate music instantly ran through the entire stadium......

"Players from both sides are officially on the field!"

"The game is about to begin."

"Hello viewers, fans and friends, welcome to watch ......"

At the end of the song, the two teams shook hands, and the captains of both sides tossed coins to pick sides......
