Lansdowne Road Stadium, one of the oldest stadiums in the world, has been hosting rugby matches since the 19th century, and is located in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

It was also the venue for the 2010-11 UEFA Cup final, with a capacity of 50,000 spectators.

On 18 May 2011, both Atletico Madrid and Porto arrived in Dublin a day earlier and completed their acclimatisation training to wait for tonight's game.

Porto are clearly more important than Atletico Madrid for this UEFA Cup title, and considering that these players and their 33-year-old young coach are all energetic age.

And they are preparing to complete the treble in Portugal, and no one can give up the opportunity to fly on the branches and become phoenixes.

Villas-Boas has been relatively low-key, as evidenced by his refusal to compare himself to Jose Mourinho.

The title of 'Little Maniac' isn't all that comfortable, and no one likes to live in the shadows of someone else, even if he's Portugal's most successful manager.

"Atletico Madrid have a very strong squad and they have focused on the domestic La Liga competition, but despite this, they have comfortably reached the final for the second year in a row, which has shown how terrible they are," Villas-Boas said in an interview with Portuguese media before his departure.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to remind his team of players who may have developed a sense of pride, after all, they are more than 20 points ahead of second place in the domestic league and have won the domestic cup again.

This League Cup can be said to be their last game of the season, the big god can't talk about it, and a small god is just around the corner, after all, no matter how bad the influence of the League Cup is, it is also a European competition.

'They have Marc, Aguero and Alexis Sanchez, Carlo Ancelotti is also a world-class manager, so we have to be humble, give 120 per cent and fight for the win, Atletico are the biggest opponents we have faced this season'

In Portugal, this final has been hyped, because it is not their turn to fire in the Champions League final.

Atletico Madrid left Spain in a relatively low-key manner, winning again at home in the previous league game, but Barcelona was forced to draw away by Getafe, and their point difference came to two points again.

But the whole Atletico Madrid team has lost much hope, how can Barcelona lose at home in the last round?

They put all their attention on this final, as for the league, just play extraordinary, anyway, if you Barcelona dare to send it in the last round, I dare to accept this championship.

"Porto are not an easy opponent to play against, now they are full of skill and playing beautifully", Ancelotti told Sky Sports after arriving in Dublin.

In other words, Villas's current style of play is quite similar to another academy Rodgers, who likes to play offense with high pressing, 433 formation, walking on the ground, and giving the frontcourt players a high degree of freedom.

When a player is up to par, it is true that they can both please the fans and win, as is the case with Porto now and Brendan Rodgers' runners-up Liverpool in the past.

This is success and defeat and defeat is also Xiao He, and their failure in the later stage is also due to the fact that this formation has too high requirements for players, and the level of their team building or selection is very average.

The reason why Klopp also has a similar high-pressure style of play but can succeed everywhere is because Klopp's team building level is too good, give him a cycle, and he will definitely be able to buy the right players.

"But this is the only trophy we can compete for this season and we have to go for it with all our might", continued Ancelotti, "if the boss invests hundreds of millions and gets nothing, then something must be wrong with our work and we have to avoid that"

Chelsea owner Abou's face is vivid, and Ancelotti does not want to repeat the mistakes of last year, although Nasser did not give him any hard indicators this season except for the Champions League place, but he also cares more or less about the outside world's comments, not without AC Milan he can't do it.

The time is approaching, and since Dublin is very close to England, there are a lot of English media, and Mackin has also met many old acquaintances, even the editor-in-chief of the "Echo" newspaper.

In their words, the Premier League without Mackin seems to have lost a lot of color all of a sudden, although there are many giant stars, but it lacks dominance, and it lacks the excitement of the battle between Ronaldo and Mackin in previous years.

Now take this opportunity to come and interview him, after all, although Mack Qin is in Spain, his dynamics are reported almost every day in England, and the popularity is very high.

Now the whole of England is expecting him to win the European Championship and complete the second consecutive national team honor.

To say that England's results at the European Championship are even worse than the World Cup, they have only reached the knockout stage twice in 13 editions, failed to appear in seven qualifiers, and returned home in the group stage four times.

Is this the history of a strong team? It's clearly a fish belly team!

South Africa's victory has made England fans' spirits unprecedentedly high, and seeing that it is another major year, they are looking forward to the arrival of nature as scheduled.

"It's too far to talk about the European Championship now", Mackin said with a smile when he was interviewed by them at the hotel, "I understand the feelings of the fans, but now what I need to do is to take Porto and then prepare for next season, and I'm sure Capello will take care of the European Championships"

"To be honest, the English fans only care when you win the European Championship right now, haha", laughed Claire.

"Privately, England's European Championship history is seriously out of line with our status, and it's not just the expectations of the fans, even the Queen and the Prime Minister are concerned"

"You are not in England this season, you may not feel it deeply, since South Africa won the championship, football in England has become a national pride, a hot spot among hot spots, your national team teammates take turns on TV"

Ha, this Mark Qin expected, after all, it is the World Cup, I don't know how many people have been achieved, and professional players don't need to get along with money, think about how much money the domestic gang made when they entered the World Cup, no one knows, not to mention that England won the championship.

Capello must have earned more than Milou, not to mention himself, Jonathan is dealing with it.

"We have a good result in the qualifiers, and there should be no big problem in getting into the main competition", Ma Qin couldn't get around and could only chat briefly, they now have 4 qualifier games, which will end this year, and then look at the main match grouping.

To be honest, he has long forgotten about Euro 2012, and he doesn't have time to care about it now.

After a brief rest at the hotel in the afternoon, around 5 p.m., Atletico took the bus and set off directly to the stadium.

The competition will officially start at 8 o'clock in the evening!

The stadium in Dublin has been open for fans since the afternoon, and in addition to the more than 10,000 tickets allocated to each side, more seats are for neutral fans.

After all, this is the Europa League final with Mackqin participating, and the vast majority of neutral fans are coming for him.

It could be the only UEFA Cup final that Mackin has played in his entire career, and in the eyes of many, it even makes more sense than a Champions League final.

Because, it is very likely that Mackin will be able to complete the real Grand Slam and win every title.

Whether it is team honors or individual honors, it is rare to be able to do this, after all, the Golden Ball Award and the World Cup championship have brushed a large number of people, and it seems that only Beckenbauer can be counted.

Even Zidane was left out because he didn't win the League Cup and the Copa del Rey and was not a true Grand Slam.

The only national team honors that Mackin lacks now are the European Championship, the Confederations Cup, the FA Cup for English clubs, and the glory for Spanish clubs.

If he really got it all, he deserved to be called the modern version of the football emperor.

While countless fans were waiting in anticipation at the stadium, the Atletico Madrid bus was finally late, and the crowd burst into violent cheers.

Stars are more popular when they are famous, and there are far more fans who greet Atletico Madrid than Porto, and although most of them are fans of the team wearing Atletico shirts, there are also many neutral fans who wear everyday clothes.

"Makqin, the king of the ball", "Mark, I love you", "Atletico Madrid, champion", "MKQ18 comes to report! ”

From the signs held up by the various fan crowds, you can roughly judge their origins, Chinese fans, Mark Qin fans, our team fans, and Liverpool's fan group also came.

"We miss Mark, you have to take good care of him", this is what MKQ18's big Sam said when he met Atletico fans outside the stadium, from the portrait of Mackin held by the other party, they didn't need any language to communicate, and immediately became a group.

Whenever this time, Makqin feels that he is happy, but in fact, the happiness of many people in life has nothing to do with material things.

It's a great blessing to have fans, who sometimes care about you and tolerate you even more than your friends.

It's just that because they simply like you and don't have any impurities, he is always patient with the fans and never starts acting because of how much money he makes.

Because he knows how to cherish and be grateful!

He couldn't get out of the car, so while the speed was slow, he hurried to wave and interact with the fans outside to let them know that he had seen them come all the way and thank them for their support.

"Let's go through the storm together...... Until dawn", Makqin didn't know if they saw the news and knew that they had lost to Messi this year.

But when they sang this familiar song, Makqin burst out of his heart with a shudder, and gradually more and more people sang this famous team song.

Yes, not only Liverpool, but also several teams regard him as a team song, because it contains the spirit of sharing honor and disgrace.

It is the feeling of working hand in hand, they are expressing their attitude, when you are standing behind such a group of people, in addition to being satisfied or satisfied.

This is my regiment, my regiment!

The Atletico Madrid bus slowly drove into the players' tunnel and disappeared into the sight of the crowd amid the sudden singing.

What you bring, and full of pride!

The stadium was buzzing with people, and the season came to an end, with both teams wanting to add a finish to themselves, not a question mark or an exclamation point.

They didn't know each other well, and they didn't even say if they could meet in the future, but tonight, only one of them was able to go back with a smile.

When Mack Qin came out to warm up, the stadium erupted in even more violent cheers, and even gave people the illusion of who had won the game in advance.

Even the players of Porto have to look sideways, is this Atletico Madrid's home stadium? That's just because they don't know how many English and Chinese are here today.

"Audience friends, audience friends, this is the live broadcast of the 2011 Europa League final, I am your old friend Zhan Jun, the game is about to start in half an hour......"

Domestically, due to Mackqin's participation, they are paying special attention to this Europa League final, which is not even worse than the Champions League final.

Moreover, Danube Sports has already begun to warm up, and this summer, Makqin will have a trip to China.

He didn't want to go empty-handed, which didn't fit his compulsion at all......
