While the outside world is hyping up this round of Champions League focus battle, the Liverpool team has already arrived in Madrid ahead of schedule, where they will have adaptation training. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Fans are eagerly anticipating the match, and the media coverage of the match is also very high-profile. But the protagonists of this game, the players of Liverpool and Real Madrid, were very low-key before the game.

Real Madrid's superstars were personable and didn't make any radical remarks before the game. In fact, apart from the national derby against Barcelona, these Real Madrid superstars never go into a war of words with any team.

Liverpool, for their part, have also been very low-key, with a very consistent attitude and they have said that the battle at the Bernabeu will be a very difficult game and that the only thing they can do is give it their all.

On the afternoon of the day they arrived in Madrid, Chen Xi and his teammates had an adaptation training at the Bernabeu.

Although the Bernabeu was empty at this time, this luxurious stadium still made Chen Xi addicted.

In the past two seasons, Chen Xi can be regarded as a person who has seen the world. He has been seen on top European stadiums such as San Siro and Old Trafford, and his home stadium Anfield is also a world-class stadium, but Chen Xi still has an eye-opening feeling for the Bernabeu in front of him.

The thought of playing here tomorrow made Chen Xi excited.

Of course, he was determined to conquer the magnificent stadium in front of him just like he did at San Siro, Old Trafford and Highbury! ――

The game will officially start at 8:45 p.m.!

The coolness of the night can't stop the frenzy of the fans in the stands!

It is said that tens of thousands of Liverpool fans came to Madrid with the team for today's match. Such a large-scale population migration is almost in time for the European Cup or even the European Champions Cup final!

Of course, less than 10,000 of these fans have probably bought tickets. After all, this is the Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid, and Real Madrid fans can get tickets first.

Liverpool fans are helpless about this, but they are used to it. Back at Anfield for the next leg, they certainly won't be giving up their tickets to the Real Madrid fans.

With almost an hour to go, the Bernabeu was packed with 80,000 fans.

The stands at the Bernabeu are also decorated in red and white, and of course, white is the main color here, which has been the theme for a hundred years!

The game hasn't started yet, but the competition between the fans has begun!

Even though they were clearly outnumbered, the Liverpool fans still sang their anthem "You'll never go it alone". In the eyes of the fans, this song can give the players the greatest support when sung in the away stands, telling them that they are not fighting alone on the road!

Real Madrid fans naturally won't let the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium become a stage for the away team's fans to perform, and soon "Come on! Madrid" resounded throughout the Bernabeu, suppressing the singing of Liverpool fans.

Real Madrid's team song was originally sung by the famous tenor Domingo, and after being sung in unison by tens of thousands of fans, it was a little less melodious, but a little more passionate! Such passion made the blood of all the Real Madrid people on the scene boil...... When the players of both teams came to the court to warm up, the atmosphere reached its first climax. Fans on both sides are cheering on their teams and giving the most nasty boos to the opposing players!

All of a sudden, the stands at the Bernabeu were roaring like an F1 race!

In the camp of Liverpool fans at the Bernabeu, a group of yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese appeared, and they were Yang Xu's gang who had traveled thousands of miles to Madrid.

They were very excited to be in the luxury stadium of the Bernabeu for the first time. Thinking of the exciting game that is about to start, they feel that the difficulty of buying tickets before is worth it!

Yang Xu and his group of international students are not short of money, but the tickets for today's game are not something that can be bought with money alone. In order to buy tickets, they all arrived in Madrid half a week early.

Even so, they still struggled to buy enough tickets. You know, the conductor at the Bernabeu is very restrictive about the tickets sold to away fans.

"Look, Real Madrid is out to warm up...... Ronaldo! It's Ronaldo! He's my idol! ”

"Zidane is out too, Figo! Raul and David Beckham! ”

"Look! It's Carlos, and his thick thighs are violent! ”

…… The reason why they went to the Santiago Bernabeu to watch this game was not only to cheer for Chen Xi, but also to see Real Madrid, known as the Galaxy Battleship.

At this time, before the game started, Yang Xu and the others were all shouting the names of their idols like ordinary star chasers. If they weren't Chinese, they would probably be considered betrayers by some Liverpool fans next to them...... Of course, after the game starts, they will still stand firm and support Liverpool, the reason is very simple, Liverpool has Chen Xi in the team!

In fact, many of the stars in the Real Madrid squad must also be the idols of many other Liverpool fans, but in today's game, they will stand firm because they are fans of the Reds!

As the game approached, the atmosphere in the stands became more and more enthusiastic.

80,000 people singing, shouting, and jumping together, in such a crazy atmosphere, who can sit there quietly? ――

At this time, in the away locker room of the Bernabeu, Chen Xi and his teammates were making final preparations.

There is nothing to be afraid of in this Liverpool team, and they don't feel any fear of such a big scene.

Spanish players such as Xavi Alonso and Luis Garcia are even more excited to perform in front of the fans in their home countries. Especially Luis Garcia, as a former Barcelona player, although he is not happy there, it does not prevent him from treating Real Madrid as a mortal enemy!

Compared to his own players, Benitez can be regarded as a real revisit. He has been involved with Real Madrid both in his playing career and in his coaching career.

Rafael Benitez joined Real Madrid's junior team at the age of 14 but never played a game for Real Madrid until he left at the age of 21.

After that, Benitez's outside expedition was unsuccessful. In the end, at the age of 26, he chose to return to Real Madrid. This time, though, he became a coach. From that day on, he was in charge of the training of Real Madrid's under-19 team.

After a few years, he became the coach of Real Madrid's B team, but his results in that position were not very good. The best result was leading Real Madrid's B team to a seventh-place finish in La Liga.

Even so, he was appreciated by the then Real Madrid coach Bosque and became the latter's assistant.

However, Benitez was clearly not satisfied with the position of assistant coach, and he soon chose to leave Real Madrid again.

Ten years later, he is now back at the Bernabeu as an opponent, which can be said to be very touching!

Of course, Benitez knows that now is not the time for him to miss the past. After some deliberation, he clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Everyone knew that Benitez had something to say, so they stopped what they were doing and set their sights on the manager.

"The important surname of today's game, I think everyone knows very well. Whether or not we can play well on the road will largely determine whether we can reach the last four. There is still a leg at home, but we have to try to build a good foundation on the road. Because there are so many stars in Real Madrid, everyone has the ability to change the game, so we can't let the initiative of the game fall into Real Madrid's hands. There may be a lot of people out there who are looking forward to ending our unbeaten run at the Bernabeu. What I want to say to you guys is, forget about the damn unbeaten record! Our goal should not be a record, it should be a championship! If you want to win the championship, you must first pass the hurdle of Real Madrid, and today's away game is the most important! ”

'Real Madrid have a lot of attacking prowess but they have a terrible backline. So, we're not hopeless. Use your attacks to crush them...... Even if it's at the Bernabeu! ”

Benitez blushed and said excitedly.

"Attack them with an attack!"

"Conquer the Bernabeu!"

…… Chen Xi and his teammates also waved their fists in response to Benitez very excitedly.

After saying this, Chen Xi and his teammates rushed out of the locker room directly...... In the players' tunnel, Chen Xi saw the superstars who he could only see on TV once upon a time.

Ronaldo, the so-called alien guy is the idol of many Chinese children who like football when they were young, and Chen Xi is no exception.

Zidane, in Chen Xi's memory, in the days when he watched the game, perhaps only this Frenchman can really be called the master of art on the football field.

Raul, the personable Prince of Real Madrid, is a symbol of loyalty and a monument in the hearts of many Real Madrid fans. Chen Xi vaguely remembered that before he crossed over, he didn't care much about football, but when he learned that Raul left Real Madrid to join Shakel, he still felt a sense of loss. Just like the words repeatedly used by many netizens at that time, "Raul didn't die at the Bernabeu?" We don't believe in love anymore! ”

Figo, although he is the most odious traitor in world football in the eyes of Barcelona fans. But his gorgeous skills on the side are still the object of Chen Xi's appreciation and learning. In Chen Xi's eyes, this Portuguese is definitely a master on the wing.

Beckham, a heartthrob who once played in the Premier League, was also one of Chen Xi's idols when he was young. When Chen Xi began to pay attention to the important surname of appearance, this handsome star became the object of Chen Xi's imitation. And the price paid for this is that Chen Xi sprained his left ankle in order to learn Beckham's free kick action.

Carlos, a full-back with the classic height of the football field, has unrivalled power. Once upon a time, what Chen Xi envied the most was the powerful heavy artillery bombardment of this Brazilian!

Of course, now Chen Xi's identity is no longer the young star chaser and imitator, after crossing over, he already has the strength to compete with these superstars.

Even, if it weren't for Chen Xi's refusal, he would have almost become a teammate of this group of superstars!

The Champions League theme song from the stadium disrupted Chen Xi's thoughts, and he shook his spirits and stood in the middle of the team. Then walked out of the tunnel side by side with the Real Madrid superstars.

The Bernabeu commentator introduced the players from both teams, and every time he called out the name of a Real Madrid player, the Bernabeu stands erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and the Real Madrid fans did everything they could to welcome their heroes.

And when the commentator handed over the names of the Liverpool players, there were only cheers from the Liverpool fans at the scene, mixed with a large number of boos from Real Madrid fans!

At this time, the narrator, who was the TV broadcaster, also appeared in the stands.

"Okay, the players from both teams are out, let's take a look at their starting line-ups......"

Accompanied by the commentator's words, the starting lists of both teams appeared on the TV screen:

Real Madrid starting line-up (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: CasillasDefenders: Salgado, Elguera, Messia, CarlosDefenders: Beckham, GutiMidfielders: Figo, Zidane, RaulStrikers: Ronaldo" Real Madrid today is a strange formation. Guti and Beckham appeared in the midfield position, you must know that Guti was a striker when he first debuted, even if the position was moved back a little, but he was also a forward midfielder. It seems that Queiroz, who lacks a midfielder, is also in a hurry to go to the hospital. In addition to Guti, Raul's position changed a bit today, and he did not become a double striker with Ronaldo, but appeared on the left side of midfield. Is this also a trick for Queiroz? Let's wait and see what effect Real Madrid's change of formation will receive......"

Liverpool starting line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeepers: Dudek Defenders: Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher, Reese: Luis Garcia, Xavi Alonso, Gerrard, Edison Chan Forwards: Owen, Heskey "There is no suspense in the Liverpool squad and Benitez's side are ......as consistent as ever"
