80: The gateway to a new era
"Sky Italia, I'm the commentator Palmertri, I'm standing next to me is the familiar Roberto Baggio, and now we're at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, with 30 minutes to go until the start of this season's UEFA Champions League final, and we've got the starting line-up for both sides of the final......"
"Good evening everyone, I'm Gary Lineker and today I'm going to bring you this pinnacle matchup with my old partner Martin Taylor!"
"France National Television TV, I am the commentator Claudifer, today I will bring you this much-anticipated UEFA Champions League final with the well-known Deschamps!"
"On Sputnik, I'm commentator Bobby Moen, and today I'm going to bring you this season's Champions League final with Gerd MΓΌller!"
"Catalunya TV ......"

"NHK TV ......"
On the evening of 25 May 2006.
Saint-Denis, Paris, France.
an hour ago.
"It's coming, it's coming! Look, it's an Inter bus! Hundreds of Inter Milan fans, who had been waiting outside the Stade de France, instantly became excited by the distant lights.
More and more Inter fans gathered, holding high the Inter flag and singing the Inter anthem.
"Leonville! It's Leonville! β
After jumping through countless difficulties and obstacles, after nearly half a year of competition, Inter Milan came.
Leon opened the window and he waved to the Inter fans outside the window.
"We're coming! Paris! β
...... "Leo, today you will start. In the dressing room in Barcelona, Rijkaard said to a nervous Messi.
Messi was a little stunned, he couldn't believe that Rijkaard would schedule himself to start in such a big final.
"Hey, Leo, don't be nervous, don't worry, we're here!" Ronaldinho hugged Messi like a big brother, and Puyol, Xavi and Iniesta also came over and patted Messi on the shoulder.
Under everyone's comfort, Messi relieved himself, "Am I going to start?" It's incredible. β
In Inter's dressing room, Roberto Mancini made a pre-match decision to use Fernando Morientes, who had chosen the somewhat surprising Morientes over Italian striker Lucatoni.
'Fernando, we need your experience, you know Barcelona well, so today you will start.' Mancini's choice made Morientes, who had been sitting quietly listening to the song, suddenly clench his fists.
"Yes, sir." The short answer can't hide the heart that has begun to boil, the Champions League final, with the memory of Real Madrid winning the title in Europe has turned into traces of the years, the years are a pig-killing knife, Morientes is no longer young, but he will start for Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
This is the arrangement of Robert Mancini, and this is also the arrangement of fate.
...... "It looks like Barcelona and Inter Milan have surprised us! On Inter Milan's side, Toni in their trident was replaced by Morientes, and Tony did not have any injuries before the game, was Mancini making this choice out of tactical considerations? On Sky Italia's live broadcast, Palmertri spoke to an audience across Italy.
"Man, don't forget, Barcelona also used the youngster Messi, Rijkaard did not use Gyuli, but Messi, the talent from Argentina will form a trident with Ronaldinho and Eto'o!" Although he has retired, Baggio also feels his blood tumbling at the moment.
At the Stade de France, Barcelona fans and Inter Milan fans are battling it out, with the Catalans humiliated by Leonville two years ago still fresh in their minds, and two years later, the Catalan Lions are back on top of the world under the leadership of a new generation of Brazilian kings, Ronaldinho.
Today, their opponents will be Inter Milan, who claim to be the strongest team in the world.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard entered the stadium in a suit with the Big Ears Cup in hand, and last year's champions Liverpool created the greatest myth of the Champions League in Constantinople in half a century.
At this moment, Stephen Gerrard has quietly placed the Big Ear Cup on the hall of glory, and today's winner will be able to win it back.
This is the glory of the king of Europe, in 05, Liverpool proved themselves in Istanbul, in 04, Bayern Munich was crowned the treble, in 03 AC Milan was crowned invincible all the way, and in 02, the Galaxy won the championship by relying on Zidane's flying immortals...... The runner-up will never be remembered, and that's the cruelty of competitive sports.
Whoever can engrave their name on the Big Ears Cup will be the king of Europe this season!
...... "Ready?" In the tunnel at the Stade de France, referee Massimo Busaka from Switzerland looked at the players from both teams standing behind him and asked.
Zanetti and Puyol both nodded, and Busaka began to signal for the crew to play the music after confirming the time.
With the sound of the Champions League theme song, the Stade de France resounded with a deafening cheer!
The players of Inter Milan and Barcelona stepped on the temple of the final together.
Leon smiled at Messi, who had been looking at him, "Leo, come on." β
Messi nodded timidly, and then he followed Ronaldinho in front of him to the other side.
Two of the season's best teams have finally come together, and the two parallel lines have met for a moment when they meet.
β¦β¦ Adriano, Tevez, and Morientes form the trident of the European Queen, Leonwill, Luis Figo, and Esteban Cambiasso partner in the midfield, Javier Zanetti, Samuel, Cannavaro, and McConn are lined up, and Cesar sits in the goal, and the strong Nerazzurri lineup is impeccable!
On the Barcelona side, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, and Messi constitute the fangs and claws of the Catalan Lions, Xavi, Iniesta, and Deco form the strongest spine of the Catalan Lions.
Both teams started as a surprise, but it was Rijkaard and Roberto Mancini's choice.
Both the Dutch and Italian coaches made surprising decisions, and the result of the match will tell who of them made the right decision.
β¦β¦ Massimo Busaka, the referee from Switzerland, is looking at his watch as he waits for the 7:30 a.m. time.
The players of Inter Milan and Barcelona each stood in their own half after the opening ceremony.
Inter Milan won in the pick, so Barcelona won the kick-off.
Ronaldinho called Messi to the centre circle, and he kept encouraging Messi, while Messi Jr. kept nodding.
Seeing this scene, Leon also smiled kindly, for Messi, he regarded Messi as a figure like his younger brother, Higuain, Messi, and Aguero can all be said to be his younger brothers.
At 7:30 p.m. Paris time, Massimo Busaka finally blew the whistle for the start of the game!
With Messi driving the ball to Ronaldinho's feet, the curtain rises on the 2005-2006 UEFA Champions League!
At the Stade de France, tens of thousands of fans cheered for the start of the game!
Barcelona take the lead!
There is no temptation.
Ronaldinho, the dancing elf on the pitch, used his samba moves to play his national team team-mate Adriano, who was pressing forward, Adriano was not annoyed, he no longer fought back, but quickly ran to the front of the Brazilian team.
Inter Milan didn't expect Adriano to be able to break the ball at all, and it was Adriano who should do to get down quickly.
Inter Milan's defense, led by Leonwill, stuck to Barcelona's attack like a ball of kraft candy.
Ronaldinho continued to move forward and could not pass back to Deco to organise, and Barcelona's first attack ended in failure.
Barcelona then tried to attack again, but were still saved by Inter.
It wasn't until the third minute of the opening game that the ** of this game was set off by the young, immature, Argentine new golden boy Leo Messi!
Messi, who had been trying to relieve the tension in his chest with running in the front court, suddenly received a direct plug from Deco, and Messi showed his physical instinct in the tension.
This is his physical instinct to practice stopping the ball and smashing the ball 10,000 times a day.
The ball was stuck to the bottom of his foot, and Messi won the ball on the left side of the frontcourt!
Inter Milan's right-back McCone didn't dare to slack off, he stepped forward to try to force Messi, but Messi was like a flea, his left foot pulled and buckled, and between the flashes, Messi actually stepped past McCann's defense!
"Leo ββββββββββββββββ Messi !!!"
The Catalans are boiling!
Messi crossed McCone into the box, and Messi crossed the middle under the interference of Cannavaro, but Eto'o's outflanking was a step too late, and Samuel scrambled to clear the ball first.
"Hmm!" The Inter Milan fans and Barcelona fans at the scene all let out a burst of exclamations.
Eto'o held his head with some regret, while Ronaldinho gave Messi a thumbs up.
At this point, Leon motioned to his teammates to be focused.
The immature little Messi finally got rid of the tension at the beginning at this time, he felt the heat of his body, he was very excited, today's Messi, the state is popular!
