Chapter 129: Bright and Vast as the Milky Way (1st Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Before the start of the competition, there was a short but enthusiastic performance.
Afterwards, players from both sides came to the pitch to warm up.
Return to the locker room for final preparations.
Finally......
When the referee from the Netherlands, Kujpels, held the ball for the Champions League final and led the players from both sides out of the tunnel with the two assistant referees, the theme song of the Champions League sounded on the live radio.
The UEFA Champions League theme song, officially abbreviated as Champions League, was written in 1992 by Tony Brown. Bridon is based on Handel's "Zadok the Priest", an ode to the coronation of the King of England, and is written in English, French and German, the three official languages of the Champions League.
The song is performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, one of Europe's leading choirs with a long history, and sung by the Choir of St Martin's College. The phrases "The main event", "These are the men", "These are the champions", "The champions", "Die Meister", "Die Besten" and "Les grandes équipes" ("great races, champions, teams") are repeated in English, German and French, making the song exciting, solemn and imposing.
……
Before the start of every Champions League game, this theme song will be played, Jiang Chenxi is already very familiar with this song, but this time, when he walked into the Guangming Stadium with his teammates under the leadership of the referee, this familiar tune sounded in his ears, and the crowding stadium stands erupted in earth-shattering cheers, his brain "boomed", as if it exploded. The blood is surging upward, and it can't be stopped. He could feel his body tremble slightly.
Excitement creeps in the depths of the soul.
This is the UEFA Champions League final.
Once, when I was a child, I sat in front of the TV to watch those Champions League final games, Zidane's flying immortals, Shepchenko's winning penalty, Kaka, Inzaghi's ghostly strike, Diego. Milito's blue-black shines, Ronaldinho's elven dreamy......
Memories of the past flooded my mind, merging with the touch of stepping on this piece of turf now.
Jiang Chenxi turned her head to look at the UEFA Champions League trophy lying quietly on the sidelines, the big-eared cup was there, almost within reach, and she was waiting for the birth of the new European king after the whistle sounded at the end of the game.
It was his Champions League final.
The championship trophy is on your side!
The final venue is at your feet!
One step is the following:
Top of Europe!
……

"Borussia Dortmund were runners-up last year, and this time, they will definitely do their best to win the title!" Zhang Lu said.
This time, CCTV was narrated by three commentators, He Wei, Duan Xuan and Zhang Lu, at the Guangming Stadium to explain the Champions League final.

In this game, Jiang Chenxi, who is currently ranked second in the Champions League scorer list with 14 goals, and Diego, who is ranked fourth with Messi with 8 goals. The contest between Costa will be one of the biggest highlights. ”
……
On the field, Borussia Dortmund captain Kyle and Atletico Madrid captain Gabi were in the middle of a routine ceremony.
The two captains shook hands, exchanged flags, and guessed sides.
Borussia Dortmund captain Kyle guessed the coin, the Hornets were given the right to pick the edge and Atletico Madrid was given the right to kick off.
Next, the players of both sides stood in their respective positions, according to the formation arranged by the manager, and waited for the game to start.
In the media seat, the Chinese media were excited, even a little nervous, holding their breath and looking at the venue.

……
Jiang Chenxi stood in the middle circle, his expression was calm, he had recovered from the excitement of stepping into the court, and his eyes were only on the opposite opponent, only the goal of Atletico Madrid.
There was only one thought in his mind right now:
Go for the goal!

……
Dutch referee Kujpels is using a headset to make final communication with his assistants.
Then, Kujpels looked at the chronograph watch on his wrist.
