Another team that reached the final is the Spanish giants Barcelona, last season, Barcelona as the defending champion of the Champions League was eliminated by Liverpool in the quarterfinals, today the two teams are the Champions League champions of the past two years, to some extent the status of the two teams in European football, they have the strength of the vast majority of teams, the strength of the two giants of the team staged the pinnacle battle, which undoubtedly makes fans full of expectations for the game!

Neither team missed any major players today, which is good news for both teams to perform at the highest level.

It can be said that Liverpool, which has a certain home advantage, started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Baines.

Midfielders: Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard.

Forwards: Kuyt, Raul, Qin Xiong.

Barcelona also started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Valdés.

Defenders: Alves, Puyol, Pique, Abidal.

Midfielders: Butzks, Xavi, Iniesta.

Forwards: Messi, Villa, Pedro.

Well, the kick-off ceremony for the Champions League final has been carried out, and Liverpool will be the first to kick off, so let's enjoy the game in the warm atmosphere of the new Wembley Stadium! ”

Liverpool's kick-offers were Raul and Qin Xiong.

The two stood in the center circle with solemn expressions and kicked off immediately after the referee's whistle. After Raul dialed the ball to Qin Xiong, the starting trident started to run forward together.

Qin Xiong panned the football all the way forward, and Villa probably didn't expect Liverpool to come after kick-off.

Qin Xiong rushed directly past him, and after Iniesta and Xavi formed a joint defense, Qin Xiong knocked the ball behind him with his heel.

Villa had just turned around when he was stunned to see Gerard rushing up from behind. He also strode past him.

Qin Xiong, Raul, and Kuyt have already entered the front waistline.

Gerrard played the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong when he encountered Iniesta.

Qin Xiong used the outside instep to cut the ball near the middle.

Xavi retreated behind Qin Xiong, and Butzques was about to step forward to press, when Qin Xiong suddenly sent the ball straight into the right rib of the penalty area.

Raul ran in front of the box to cover Kuyt, who slotted straight into the box.

Abidal was a step slower to return to the penalty area, Pique turned around and was a little flustered, and Kuyt fired a direct volley at the goal from the right side of the penalty spot!

Valdés swooped towards the near post and narrowly blocked the ball off the line!

Liverpool's opening attack made Barcelona break out in a cold sweat!

"Wow! Defending champions Liverpool fired on target on target with their first attack after the opening. They made the game extremely fast-paced from the first minute and it looked like they were going to get the most out of their home game! ”

Pep Guardiola looked calm on the sidelines, knowing that Liverpool were a passionate team that didn't play by the rules.

To say that it was not expected to be fake, and it is clear that Liverpool play in London and get into the game faster than Barcelona, there is no doubt about it.

Barcelona will have to get past the acclimatization phase in the early stages of the game to be able to compete with Liverpool.

Liverpool started pressing in midfield.

Barcelona played a fast break in the 5th minute of the game.

Xavi and Andres Iniesta played a series of short passes in midfield, and then Iniesta sent the ball to the right side of the box with a diagonal kick.

Messi stopped the ball here and controlled the ball on the spot.

Baines moved laterally to get in front of Messi, which should be the first time Baines has played Messi. In the past, he played for Everton and never had the chance to meet Messi.

In the national team competition, there is no chance.

Baines should know Messi's abilities. Although Qin Xiong and Messi are not exactly the same type of players, in training, Baines, who was ravaged by Qin Xiong repeatedly, was ready to realize before the game started.

He can't completely contain Messi!

Then it is necessary to hold the strategic point as much as possible when Messi is in possession of the ball.

Can't give Messi room to cut inside!

Baines narrowed the distance between himself and Agger to make sure he didn't give Messi a line to cut inside, and then waited for Messi to make his choice.

When encountering a player with super explosive ability on the spot, you must not take the initiative to step forward and drop your feet to lose your body center of gravity.

For example, Robben. Qin Xiong, Ronaldo, Messi and other players who broke out on the spot to start the super horror, the defenders kicked first and lost the center of gravity of the body. Then just wait to be passed, let you turn around as fast as you want, and after you turn around, I'm afraid half a century has passed.

Messi saw that Baines was defending close to the centre-back, and Alonso was also pressing from the side, he used his left foot to dunk the ball to the outside, and then took the ball along the edge of the penalty area to the bottom line, and when Baines came to press, Messi took a step back and suddenly crossed with his feet.

Villa attracted the attention of Agger and Skrtel in front of goal, but Pedro, who cut inside at the back post, was unmarked!

Because Pedro was cunning in his positioning, Johnson couldn't keep up with it in the first place.

The ball fell to the back of the box and Pedro's follow-up header put Liverpool in a huge crisis.

Thankfully, Pedro's header sent the ball straight off the line!

Slightly off the post!

"Barcelona almost beat Liverpool! This time it was Messi who pinned down Liverpool's defence on the right and then sent a dangerous cross, but Pedro couldn't take his chance! ”

Pedro bared his teeth to express helplessness, he thought about it carefully, Messi's cross just now was with a little internal rotation, which made him rush forward with a bad header, and finally failed to hit it!

Pep Guardiola takes a deep breath from the sidelines.

He knows very well that in such a peak competition, opportunities are often fleeting!

Barcelona can play such an attack, which can be said to be very good.

And this is such an opportunity, which must be seized!

You can't expect to be able to absolutely penetrate the opposition defence to score goals against a strong opponent.

Perhaps Pep Guardiola is right, but perhaps it is Liverpool and Barcelona that have struggled to meet in their respective leagues that have left them unaware of their respective weaknesses.

It doesn't matter, the next game went on and both coaches almost collapsed! (To be continued.) )
