Coincidentally, while John Terry was giving a brief speech in the Chelsea dressing room, Ricardo was also in the Real Madrid dressing room: "I don't know if you ever care about the odds of this game. In terms of odds, the major bookmakers are more optimistic about us winning. I don't know if you've been on the Internet or reading the newspaper these days. If you do, you'll see that the media are optimistic that we can win. ”

After a pause, Ricardo continued: "But, but! There are countless examples in history of under-favored teams winning in the end. We can't underestimate the enemy, and we can't have the slightest idea of underestimating the enemy! Once we have the slightest slack, we are finished! This is a life-and-death war, and if we let up, our opponents will pounce on us, tear our throats with ferocity, suck the last drop of our blood dry, and beat us to the ground! ”

Everyone listened attentively. Although Ricardo was only the team's second captain, no one felt that there was anything wrong with him speaking in place of Raul. In the past two seasons, Licardo has used one goal after another, assists after assist, and led the team to victory again and again, and established his position in the dressing room.

"Our win rate, in the eyes of the outside world, is about 60 percent, or 65 percent. What I want to tell you guys is, this is bullshit! The truth is that if we let up, we have a 100% chance of losing. And if we do our best, we put in 200 percent, we bet everything to fight, and we have a 100% chance of winning! ”

"I want to win! I want us to be on top of Europe! I don't want to see anything else! I want to settle the game in 90 minutes and not give my opponent any illusions! Brothers, come on, fight with me! ”

The applause rang out and lasted for a long time.

Pellegrini exclaimed: "Then go out and let those hillbillies see what kind of team deserves to win the Champions League!" ”

The Real Madrid players walked out of the dressing room in high spirits.

Walking down the tunnel, Ricardo glanced at Kaka and Baptista, who nodded knowingly.

Ricardo walked quickly to Raul and whispered, "We're going to have the right to kick off later." ”

Raul didn't have any surprised expression and nodded slightly. "Got it."

Everything went on as usual, lined up, shook hands, took pictures...... Ricardo did not lose the slightest impatience. He was extremely calm at this time, and his mind recalled the scene when he was wearing the Inter Milan shirt and beating Liverpool in the Champions League final to win the title.

Once again, standing on this stage, this time, not as Ronaldo's assistant and supporting role. Today, he is the protagonist!

His eyes suddenly sharpened.

Chelsea's formation today is 4141, with goalkeeper Petr Cech and defender Ashley. Cole, John Terry, Carvalho and Essien, midfielder Claude Makelele, midfielders Frank Lampard and Ballack, left wing-back Joe Cole, right midfielder Malouda, and lone centre-forward Drogba. Also on the bench were Cudicini, Alex, Belletti, Mikel, Kalu, Shevchenko and Anelka.

Real Madrid also sent the strongest lineup except Ronaldo, goalkeeper Casillas, defenders Heinze, Cannavaro, Pepe, Ramos, midfielders Diarra, Baptista, forward Kaka, left winger Ricardo, right winger Raul, single striker Van Nistelrooy. Also on the bench were Dudek, Metzelde, Marcelo, Guti, Gago, Robben, Higuain.

Raul successfully guessed the coin and got the tee shot.

While the two sides stood in their respective halves waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, Ricardo looked at the opponent's defensive position, simulating the offensive line, and gradually became convinced.

At 20:00 local time, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game. The fans in the stands erupted in cheers, and the commentator shouted: "The 2007-2008 Champions League final is now officially open!" The two sides of the match were Real Madrid versus Chelsea, and it was a battle of art football versus muscular football, a battle of spear and shield...... Real Madrid launches a fast attack! ”

After Ruud van Nistelrooy knocked the ball back to Ricardo, he did not continue to pass, but suddenly activated the high-speed dribble and cut between Drogba and Malouda.

With the game just getting started, the Chelsea players were not yet focused and he managed to get past the two. During the run, he glanced up at Kaka, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Baptista and decided to continue with the ball himself.

Coming head-on into Frank Lampard, Ricardo simply swooped left and right. Frank Lampard wasn't in the game yet, but he was a bold player, and he tackled as soon as he was shaken off by Ricardo, but Ricardo looked like he had eyes in the back, picked the ball lightly, and jumped up to avoid Frank Lampard's side-to-back tackle.

There was a momentary commotion in Chelsea's defence.

At this time, Kaka's position had already run in front of Ricardo, who immediately passed the ball and gave a large amount of ball in advance, and Kaka tried his best to catch up with the football, and made a hard trip past Makelele.

But Makelele still chased after him, disrupting Kaka with his hands and feet, ready to break the ball from Kaka's feet.

Kaka ran ten meters with Makelele on his shoulder, and suddenly passed the ball with his heel, and Baptista behind him did not stop the ball and swept the ball directly to the left front.

With Ricardo already far away from Frank Lampard in place, Ballack immediately ran to help in defence, but Ricardo tapped the ball down the middle and continued to run forward.

Ballack hesitated, not knowing whether to continue to keep an eye on Ricardo or turn to help defend Kaka.

This momentary hesitation doomed the final result. Kaka didn't stop the ball and passed it directly in front of Ricardo.

This time, when Ricardo received the ball, he was already on the edge of the box, and the Chelsea defence was about to be crossed, and the defenders were still in their positions, and there was a large gap in front of him.

Ricardo strode the ball past John Terry and followed it with a low left-footed shot into the far corner.

After finishing the shot, he was sure that there was the ball.

Sure enough, the helmet-wearing Petr Cech struggled to make a save, but was half a beat slower and failed to touch the football, which grazed the post and rolled across the goal line.

At this moment, it seemed that time had frozen.

Half a second later, there was a huge cheer in the stands, and the commentator began to shout hoarsely, "Goalllllllll!!! Just 16 seconds into the opening period, Licardo opened the scoring for Real Madrid! It's a crazy goal! Real Madrid tore apart Chelsea's defence through the skilful interplay of several players and the individual performances of the stars! Poor Chelsea players, they haven't come to their senses yet! ”

"In this match that decided the European champions, Real Madrid got off to a dream start with a lightning goal from Ricardo!"
