The players of the Red Devils, Manchester United and Liverpool stood behind the referee of the match in two columns.

The referee of this match is Lupos 61 Michel from Slovakia.

This guy still has some fate with Liverpool, because this guy once officiated the 2005 Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Liverpool. This guy was also likened by then-Blues manager Di Mourinho to the maker of the 'ghost goal'.

Here's how it happened, when in the 2005 Champions League semi-final, Spaniard Luis 61 Garcia, who was still playing for the Reds at the time, scored in stoppage time to knock out Chelsea.

However, the Chelsea players disputed the decision, with the Blues arguing that the ball did not actually cross the goal line completely. However, the referee on duty, Michel, insisted that the goal was valid, and such a decision undoubtedly annoyed Mourinho, who was bent on making a difference in the Champions League.

After the game, Jose 61, then Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, vented his frustration in front of the media.

The Portuguese said: "It was a completely empty goal, I can only explain that it came from the moon or from the stands at Anfield. If you're going to insist that Liverpool's goals are valid, it's better to say that the linesman's goals are effective. ”

Mourinho's remarks were constantly exaggerated and exaggerated by the media, and the next day the English media labeled Luiz's 61 Garcia goal as a "ghost goal", while Michelle was labelled as a "ghost" for Chelsea.

However, referee Michel insisted on his decision after the game, with the Slovak responding: "Even if the assistant referee says he is not sure it is a goal, I will give Liverpool a penalty or send Cech off with a red card." ”

This statement was also met with a collective response from the Blues fans after the game. system, they believe that Michel has a clear anti-blue stance.

This guy is a bit of a maverick, but this guy does have some real material.

While the law enforcement career has been controversial, UEFA's choice of Michelle was not a random one. The Slovak finished in the top three in both 2006 and 2007 in the Shijie Referee of the Year award, which is undoubtedly his biggest asset in officiating in this season's Champions League final.

Michelle officiated the game, which made Liverpool fans very excited, who thought it would bring good luck to Liverpool.

In 2005, Michel officiated Liverpool in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which they won that year. Now, Michelle is in charge of the Champions League final, and this time it will be Liverpool who will win the Champions League, and Liverpool fans firmly believe it.

However, Manchester United fans also think that Michelle is very suitable to officiate the game, and they also think that Michelle will bring them good luck.

Although Michel officiated in the 2005 Champions League semi-final against Liverpool, he has also officiated at Manchester United on six previous occasions, including last season's classic 7-1 thrashing of Roma at home to the Red Devils.

Manchester United fans also have reason to believe that Michelle's enforcement will bring them good luck. And what Liverpool's is simply self-inflicted.

Michel will be joined by 37-year-old Srisack and 36-year-old Martin, while Vladnir, also from Slovakia, will be the fourth official for the match. Earlier, officially Srisack went outside the dressing room to alert the Liverpool team.

“haode！ Now the players from both sides have followed the referee team out of the players' tunnel, and they are walking past the UEFA Champions League trophy one by one, and they are entering the field! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said excitedly.

Yes, at this time, the players from both sides happened to walk past the Big Ear Cup on the sidelines. Qiu Ze walked past the Big Ear Cup, and he couldn't help but glance at the Big Ear Cup, it was the first time he had looked at the Big Ear Cup so closely.

Looking at this silver glittering Big Ear Cup, Qiu Ze's heart was full of desire and fighting spirit, this game must be won!

Rumble! The entire Luzhniki Stadium exploded, and all the fans cheered and roared!

"Haode, the players from both sides have played, now let's introduce to you the starting lineups for today's game between the two sides." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.

Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen immediately said: "Let me first introduce you to the starting line-up for the Reds Liverpool today.

Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson immediately said: "Today Benitez released a 4231 formation, which is also his favorite formation, and the goalkeeper position is the team's main goalkeeper Spaniard Reina. ”

"In the back four positions are Arbeloa, Carragher, Hyypia and Reese, while Daniel 61, who has performed well in recent times, is sitting on the bench, there is no news of this guy's injury before the game, I don't know what the situation is?" Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.

'In the midfield position, Benitez today is the partner of Mascherano and Xavi 61 Alonso. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson looked at the material in his hand and said, "This is not Liverpool's most consistent midfield combination this season. Liverpool's most consistent midfield combination this season is Steven Gerrard and Xavi 61 Alonso! ”

"Actually, it's not very good to have Gerrard fixed in the midfield position. Because doing so would be a waste of Gerrard's offensive talent, in fact, a little bit up front, Gerrard's threat would be great. However, after the transfer from Chris, Gerrard's position was withdrawn. ”

"In the front three positions are Gerrard, Chris 61 Qiu and Benayoun." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson continued, "Look, Benitez moved Gerrard's position forward today, thanks to Kuyt's suspension. This is an amazing change for Liverpool today. ”

"At the top is still the center forward Fernando 61 Torres from Spain." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson had a look on his face, "Because Gerrard replaced the empty space left by Kuyt, then Crouch also lost the opportunity to start with Fernando 61 Torres." ”

"That's it! Thiem gave you a brief overview of Liverpool's starting line-up, and now I'm going to give you a look at the starting line-up for the Red Devils Manchester United today. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said immediately.

"Today, the head coach of the Red Devils Manchester United team, Alex 61 Ferguson, discharged a four-four-two formation, the formation has not changed, but the lineup will definitely change, let's see how the Jazz will set up?" Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "In the goalkeeper position, it is still the same Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar. ”

'In the back four, Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Rafael. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said: "Brown is injured and young Brazilian youngster Rafael was in the starting line-up today. ”

"It's a bit different from what everyone expected before the game, because they thought it was going to be replaced by Hargreaves, who played in that position when he was at Bayern and had a good performance."

"In the midfield position are Carrick and Ryan Giggs, and everyone guessed well before the game, and sure enough, it was Carrick who replaced Paul 61 Scholes. However, Giggs went to the middle and it was a change. Gary 61 Lineker analyzed.

"The two in the forward line are the Portuguese duo Nani and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo." Sky Sports' football commentator Gary 61 Lineker was shocked and said, "It seems that Ryan Giggs has gone to the middle, and this is to make room for Nani." At the same time, it should also be for Giggs to play the role of Paul 61 Scholes. ”

'The duo up front is Wayne 61 Wayne Rooney and Argentine striker Carlos Tevez. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said immediately.

"Haode, at this time, we have introduced the starting lineups of both sides, and now that the game is full, let's focus on the game." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said immediately.

Honk!

Referee Michel blew the whistle, and the final match of this season's European football, the UEFA Champions League final, officially began.

It was the Reds Liverpool who kicked off first, and the Reds Liverpool captain Mr Gerrard got the ball. At the beginning of the game, Liverpool did not rush to attack, but hoarded heavy troops in the midfield, because this is officially Liverpool's strongest link.

Manchester United's main attacking direction is placed on the two wings, in fact, this can be seen from the line-up of Alex 61 Comrade Alex Ferguson, he let the two Portuguese wingers start at the same time is the most haode proof.

At the start of the game, the fans on both sides were even more excited, and the European Champions League final, which they had been waiting for for so long, really began, and they were excited, cheering and roaring wildly, cheering for their own team, while belittling and sarcastically mocking their opponents.

Although it was Liverpool who kicked off, it was the Red Devils who launched their first threatening attack.

And Manchester United's attack was launched from the wings. This time Manchester United's attack came almost exclusively from Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, who used his personal jishu and pace to blow up Liverpool's entire wing after receiving the ball on the wing.

Then, when this guy came to the edge of the big penalty area, he suddenly dribbled the ball horizontally, shook Liverpool's full-back Riese, and at the edge of the big penalty area, he stepped sideways to the ball, and passed the saved Liverpool central defender Hyypia, and shot directly at the front of the big penalty area.

The ball was fired like a cannonball into Liverpool's goal, much to the excitement of Manchester United fans.

It's a pity that the ball Cristiano 61 Ronaldo didn't hold it down, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Although Manchester United's attack did not score, it was a wake-up call for Liverpool. Manchester United's attack is very baptistic, which makes the Liverpool fans watching the game a little nervous, and they also cheer for the team loudly, hoping that Liverpool can play better.
