On the evening of May 25, Wembley Stadium.

In the dressing room of the QPR, Ricardo looked at his nervous companions.

Not only the players, but even Simeone's tense face was full of nervousness.

Just be nervous. As a new team in the Champions League, although I played all the way to the final and accumulated a lot of self-confidence, how could I completely overcome my nervousness.

After Simeone had finished the final arrangements, Ricardo looked at the time and got up to say a few words.

'I know you're nervous, but I'd say it's not necessary,' he said with a smile, "I'm not yet 27 years old, but I've already led three different teams to the top of the Champions League. It's the same with Ronnie. We'd love to lead a fourth different team to the Champions League, do you want to do that great job with us? ”

"Yes!" The rest of the players shouted in unison.

"Let's go on then. Don't think too much about it, no matter how much it means about this game, first of all it's just a game. And we, don't be afraid of any competition. ”

Walking out of the locker room and stepping onto the players' tunnel, Ricardo hugged Kaka who was walking towards him, and then greeted Pepe, Ramos, Higuain, etc., and finally fixed his eyes on Ronaldo, who also looked back without blinking.

A smile tugged at the corner of Licardo's mouth.

This is not a big year, so performances in the league and Champions League will determine who wins the Ballon d'Or.

Himself, Messi and Ronaldo all performed well.

Basically, it can be said that whoever wins this game will be able to take advantage of the general trend of the Champions League champion and win this year's Golden Ball Award.

I'm not going to give it away.

This Real Madrid team has changed a lot from a few years ago, with only four of the starting line-up being played with by Ricardo.

Goalkeeper Diego. López, defenders Ramos, Pepe, Varane, Coentrão, Khedira and Xavi. Alonso, in front of them are Mesut Ozil, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, striker Gonzalo Higuain, 4231 formation.

The injuries of Marcelo and Iker Casillas are a major blow to Real Madrid.

On the QPR side, the lineup is relatively complete, the goalkeeper is still Handanovic, and the defender Simeone has chosen Alex. Alex Sandro, Virgil van Dijk and Alderweireld and McConn, Fernandinho at the back, then the two midfielders Luka Modric and Nainggran, and the forward three are Ronaldo, Ricardo and Neymar. 4123 formation.

Fans have been waiting for a while, and many simply don't have the patience to watch those performances before the final. As soon as the two teams showed up, the overwhelming cheers came.

Some of the QPR players turned pale, but most had regained their composure after Ricardo's brief speech.

After the preparation work such as picking sides, lining up, and taking pictures, the game starts and the QPR kicks off.

Just seven minutes into the game, Nainggolan broke the ball from Khedira and pushed it to Modric, who immediately sent a through ball to the left side of the box.

Ricardo cut in at high speed, took the ball past Pepe and fired a low left-footed shot into it. López barely managed to save the ball. Ronaldo followed up with a follow-up shot and hit Ramos, who was returning to the defense, and missed a good opportunity.

Pellegrini breathed a sigh of relief.

If you fall behind in such a short period of time, it will be difficult to play in the next game.

QPR is still playing the same way today, pressing high, counter-attacking on the spot, and holding the ball firmly if there is no chance of counter-attacking.

Manuel Pellegrini has studied the QPR style of play and has formulated a series of countermeasures, but it does not seem to have the effect it should have.

It's not a good thing that the QPR players are too active today and have completely freed up Ricardo.

Manuel Pellegrini is thinking about how to deal with it, and the situation on the pitch has changed.

QPR organised the attack, the ball was handed to the right, and Neymar pedaled his bike past Coentrão and suddenly accelerated.

Coentrão was caught off guard and was thrown out of position.

Neymar was able to calmly cross from near the baseline. Ronaldo and Varane were entangled in the front point and did not take advantage of anyone, Lopes did not rush out to get the ball in the middle, and at the back point, Ricardo suddenly fell to the ground next to Pepe and tackled the ball into the net.

"Ricardo Goallll! In the opening 8 minutes, QPR took the lead! The commentator exclaimed, "In this final, QPR got off to a fantastic start!" ”

"It was Ricardo's 60th goal of the season in all competitions and his 14th Champions League goal!"

The nervousness of the QPR players all disappeared at this moment, and everyone had a smile of surprise on their faces.

After celebrating, when he returned to his own half to wait for his opponent to kick off, Ricardo shouted: "Steady! Before the boss makes adjustments, we need to stick to the previous way of playing! ”

Real Madrid re-kicked, QPR continued to press high, under the steal of QPR, Real Madrid looked very embarrassed, can only keep handing the ball to the side, with the help of Ronaldo's personal ability to try to break through, but under the heavy defense of QPR, it is difficult for Ronaldo to pass the ball out again.

Manuel Pellegrini commanded solemnly from the sidelines and made a few minor adjustments, but none of them worked out well.

Real Madrid was completely suppressed.

It wasn't until the 22nd minute that Real Madrid had the first shot on goal by Cristiano Ronaldo with a free kick opportunity.

In desperation, despite the team's backwardness, Pellegrini let the team retreat a little and avoid the edge for the time being.

Real Madrid put more effort into defending, which reduced QPR's chances.

The game became dull for a moment.

It's not that Pellegrini doesn't want to attack, it's that Real Madrid can't play a smooth offensive at all, so he plans to wait until QPR is physically exhausted and morale declines.

Both sides struggled to get into the opposition box and could only threaten from set-pieces and long-range shots.

QPR had a little more to do with the individual skills of Ricardo and Neymar, but Real Madrid tightened their defence, and even lone striker Gonzalo Higuain often returned to the penalty area.

Even if they break through and cut inside, they often can't find a chance to get up.

The commentator laughed: "It's a typical Champions League final. Both sides played cautiously. But the question is, Real Madrid are behind now, does Pellegrini really not want to equalize? ”

However, in the 43rd minute, Real Madrid played the first smooth attack of the game. Kaka sent in a cross from the right, Alderweireld made a mistake and couldn't clear the ball in the first place, and Higuain burst into the right side of the box.

When he could shoot on his own, he selflessly sent a cross and Ronaldo easily pushed the ball in front of the six-yard box and smashed the ball into the empty net.

“Goallllll！ Cristiano. Ronaldo! He scored his 51st goal of the season and his 13th Champions League goal! The goal also brought his all-time Champions League tally to 50, making him the sixth player after Ricardo, Raul, Messi, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Thierry Henry to score more than 50 goals in the Champions League! ”
