As time went on, the atmosphere of the Champions League final in London grew stronger, and more and more fans wore the red Manchester United shirt and the blue and black Inter shirt.

The pinnacle of European football this season is about to kick off in London.

On 28 May 2011, the day of the final, there were already countless fans from both sides outside Wembley Stadium from the morning.

Especially for Inter fans who came from afar, many of them didn't even go to the hotel at all the night before, and directly set up tents in the square outside for the night.

In the evening, after dinner, many local London fans also came to Wembley Stadium to wait for their entrance.

At 6 p.m., the entrance to the stadium opened, and fans from both sides began to check in for admission.

Wembley Stadium in this Champions League final is nominally a neutral stadium, but the stadium is in the United Kingdom, and Manchester United, as a Premier League giant, naturally has to take advantage of a lot, which is equivalent to half a home game.

At Wembley Stadium, which has 90,000 seats, Manchester United fans account for about half, Inter Milan fans account for one-third, and the rest are watching the lively neutral fans or celebrities, politicians, players' families, etc.

Lu Wenbin's girlfriend Kate and agent Mendes were naturally also at the scene.

After 8 p.m., the stadium was almost full.

The brief opening ceremony began as England's legendary goalscorer Lineker kicked the ball into the pitch from the podium.

England stars and artists performed their various song and dance shows, as well as track and field superstar and 100m flyer Usain Bolt, who is known as a Manchester United fan, and finally the Champions League trophy was brought to the pitch by the British royal guard, which caused the audience to cheer.

The opening ceremony didn't last long, the actors left, and the stadium was cleaned up, and it was the real Champions League.

Nemanja Vidic and Zanetti led Manchester United and Inter Milan onto the pitch as captains of their respective teams, and the Champions League theme song was played, with handshakes, group photos, and side picking, and the much-anticipated Champions League final was about to be staged.

At 20:45 on the evening of May 28, with the referee's whistle, the 2010/2011 UEFA Champions League final between Inter Milan and Manchester United officially began at Wembley Stadium in London, England, with the applause of 90,000 spectators.

Inter Milan's starting lineup is goalkeeper Cesar, defenders McConn, Lucio, Samuel, Zivu, midfielder Zanetti, full-backs Lu Wenbin and Stankovic, forward Sneijder, forwards Milito and Eto'o.

Manchester United's starting lineup is goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, defenders Fabio, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, and Riffa, parallel midfielders Ryan Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Park Ji-sung, and forwards Wayne Rooney and Owen.

Both sides are the main force and the stars are shining, and Lu Wenbin continues to play in the midfield.

As soon as the game began, Manchester United used the kick-off rights to launch a wave of offensive cheers from more than 40,000 Manchester United fans.

Ryan Giggs's cross from the flank was headed in by Wayne Rooney, and Michael Owen drilled out from behind Samuel and stabbed his outstretched foot, only to be deflected wide by Samuel's interference, causing a sigh from the United fans in the stands.

If you score in the first wave of the game, it would have been perfect.

However, even this scared the Inter players and fans.

Ryan Giggs, Rooney, and Owen are all superstar figures, and this wave of offensive has given Inter Milan a disadvantage, so that Inter Milan has to avoid its edge and stabilize the defense first.

However, Inter Milan itself plays defensive counter-attacks and is not afraid of the opponent's attack.

Manchester United, on the other hand, continued to attack, trying to take advantage of the opening rush to score a goal and seize the opportunity.

Inter Milan shrank their defenses, defended solidly, and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

In the seventh minute, Carrick almost broke through the Inter defence with a through shot, Rooney almost grabbed the ball to form a one-on-one, but Samuel fell first from the side to shovel the ball out of the touchline.

In the 10th minute, United had their best chance since the break.

Ferdinand launched an offensive at the back, Park Ji-sung crossed from the bottom, Lucio actually rose to the top in the front point and Owen's tussle, did not reach the ball, and shook his teammates Samuel and Cesar hard.

The ball went past Lucio and Owen and into the corner of the netted spot.

Rooney and McCone rushed to the landing point at the same time, and in the forbidden area, for fear of being penalized, McCone hesitated and did not dare to tackle the ball on the ground, but Rooney fell to the ground and stabbed the ball first.

Cesar was in front of the post just now, and before he reached the back post, Rooney's ball was an empty goal as long as it hit the frame.

The United fans in the stands were already raising their hands and ready to cheer.

As a result, Rooney's stabbed ball did not hit the woodwork, but hit the post and bounced back into the forbidden area, and Zanetti, who was rushed back to the defense, kicked a big kick into the midfield.

Manchester United lost one of the best scoring opportunities in the opening game, and the frustrated Rooney lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.

After this attack, although Manchester United continued to attack wildly, they never got such a good opportunity again.

Until the 20th minute, United had failed to score, with only two shots from the woodwork, but neither of them was a big threat and was directly confiscated by Cesar.

Inter Milan under Jose Mourinho's tutelage, coupled with the defense of a number of top defenders such as Zanetti and Lucio, it is difficult for any team to play a positional battle to tear apart Inter's defense.

If you can't attack for a long time, you will naturally be punished, and the speed of Lu Wenbin and Eto'o's counterattack is not vegetarian.

In the 27th minute, United made a comeback, only for Owen to play the ball wide in front of him, but Lucio got stuck in his position and then passed to Samuel.

Samuel played a long pass to Sneijder in midfield before Rooney came up to grab the ball, and Sneijder passed it to Lu Wenbin, who was inserted on the wing, and Inter played a quick counter-attack.

Seeing Lu Wenbin rushing forward on the side with the ball, the Manchester United fans in the stands let out huge boos, and the Manchester United players quickly returned to the defense, blocking Lu Wenbin's path forward.

However, Lu Wenbin did not indulge in solo performances with speed and dribbling at all. With 17 points of judgment, he can make decisions that are in favor of the team's victory with relative calm.

It's too slow to break through with the ball and counterattack.

Before Lu Wenbin could snatch it up, he made a long pass and passed the ball to the top of the arc of Manchester United's big no-go.

The 20/20 pass made Lu Wenbin's long pass very accurate.

Originally, Eto'o was behind Ferdinand, but the moment Lu Wenbin passed the ball, Eto'o had the upper hand in the speed competition with Ferdinand.

Before the rest of the United who were pressing the attack could return to the defense, Eto'o overtook Rio Ferdinand and received a long pass from Lu Wenbin before Ferdinand.

Samuel Eto'o didn't stop the ball and slid it into the no-go.

Under the pull of Rio Ferdinand, and under the block of the attacking Van der Sar, Eto'o calmly hit a far corner before Ferdinanda fell into the big penalty zone.

However, the ball had already flown over the palm of Van der Sar's hand and into the far post.

In the 27th minute, Lu Wenbin assisted Samuel Eto'o to open the scoring with a precise long pass, and Inter Milan led Manchester United 1-0.

Immediately, the Inter fans in the stands cheered and screamed, and the neutral crowd applauded.

Manchester United, who had been attacking aggressively, did not score, but Inter Milan took the lead with a simple counter-attack.

Moreover, Inter Milan was originally playing counter-defensive counterattacks. In the next game, Manchester United will definitely be even more sad.

Sometimes, football is just that brutal.
