The flames of war on English soil have been extinguished, and teams are moving into the summer transfer operation.

Liverpool are in full swing preparing for the Champions League final.

Liverpool's local fans have started to make slogans and banners to use in the Champions League final, and since this season's Champions League final is being played at the new Wembley Stadium, it will be more beneficial for Liverpool, and the local fans will have a higher level of support, giving them a certain home advantage.

It will also reduce the cost of Liverpool's travels, which they are accustomed to playing in London.

On 28 May, the Liverpool squad arrived in London and stayed at a hotel near the new Wembley Stadium.

Barcelona arrived in London two days early, with England on one side and Spain on the other, and the two teams set off a new round of football frenzy in London.

Major European media have been following the preparations of the two teams throughout the whole process.

The day before the game, Barcelona held a pre-match press conference.

Looking ahead to the Champions League final, Pep Guardiola said: "The new Wembley Stadium will put some pressure on Barcelona, but it doesn't matter, Barcelona will be in the best shape for this game, and I have a lot of admiration for Liverpool's progress and achievements over the past two years, they have taken the English football philosophy to the extreme, and at the same time incorporated the most advanced European football concepts, Koeman is a respectable manager and is looking forward to tomorrow's game." ”

The Sky Sports reporter then asked: "Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League knockout rounds by Liverpool last season, will this put psychological pressure on Barcelona?" ”

Pep Guardiola shook his head and said: "In the world of football, you will win. Will also lose. You are strong. Then you should win more and lose less, but there is no team that does not lose, Liverpool have also lost a lot of games this year, both in the league and in the Champions League, will they have psychological pressure the next time they meet the team that beat them? That doesn't hold the case, we're now focused on preparing for the game with the aim of lifting the trophy at the new Wembley Stadium if there's pressure. That's what it is, but I hope that pressure will translate into motivation for the team. ”

"Regarding the competition between Messi and Qin Xiong, this Champions League final will determine the selection of the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year, do you agree?"

Guardiola thought for a moment and said: "I would say Messi is the best player in the world, Koeman will say that the best player in the world is Qin Xiong, Mourinho will also say Ronaldo is the best in the world, etc., we all have unbeatable stars, when such a discussion turns into a stalemate, then team honours will be a better criterion, in my opinion." Both Qin Xiong and Lionel Messi have contributed immensely to the team's brilliant achievements, and now it is up to them to see who will win the Champions League to select the Ballon d'Or. This is true to some extent, but taking a step back, the team that did not win the Champions League is not useless and should still be objectively recognized by the outside world. ”

The pre-match press conference on Liverpool's side was routine.

Koeman also expressed his admiration for Pep Guardiola as he looked ahead to the final.

"Barcelona has been the top team in Europe for many years, but what makes Barcelona a super team is Pep Guardiola, his football philosophy spreads all over the world, he leads the team to subvert tradition, I am very impressed and amazed by his achievements, although we beat Barcelona last season, it does not mean that we can take tomorrow's final lightly, Barcelona are under pressure from Real Madrid in the league this season, they overcame difficulties and won the title, That makes Barcelona probably a little better in form, and now it's time to put all the distractions behind us and focus on the Champions League final and play a great game that will go down in history! Because it's the pinnacle of European football! ”

How to deal with Barcelona's passing?

When asked by reporters, Coman smiled and said: "Efficiency, we are not obsessed with possession, what Liverpool are looking for is to make both attack and defence more efficient, Barcelona want to keep the ball, they can keep the ball, but unless they can keep Liverpool from touching the ball, then Liverpool will show what we are good at." ”

On May 29, the day of the Champions League final, Liverpool and Barcelona fans were everywhere around London's new Wembley Stadium, and the scene was particularly spectacular with TV helicopters in the sky overlooking the match.

The Liverpool and Barcelona players returned to the dressing room after the warm-up to listen to their coaches' pre-match reprimands.

Koeman looked at the energetic players and said in a deep voice: "I don't think I need to say anything, you go out and go into the stadium and give your all to beat Barcelona, and then we will lift the Champions League trophy and make a new history!" ”

The Liverpool generals nodded in agreement.

Since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to defend this title, and because no team has been able to defend the title for too long, once Liverpool can do it, then the team's achievements will shine even more brightly, shocking the world!

This is a pivotal moment for the club to reach new heights and the players' own achievements to new heights!

Win this game!

Win this game!!

The players walked out of the dressing room together and met with the Barcelona generals in front of the exit of the players' tunnel to wait for the start of the game.

10 minutes before the start of the game, this season's Champions League ambassador Lineker "opened" a short Champions League final opening ceremony performance with a powerful shot outside the new Wembley Stadium, a group of dancers in black suits danced in the stadium, and Jamaican Lightning Bolt also entered as a special guest, Guardiola and Koeman greeted each other with smiling faces and patted each other in encouragement.

While the referee team was conducting routine checks on the players in the tunnel, the Liverpool and Barcelona generals exchanged some pleasantries in the tunnel.

Qin Xiong and Messi patted each other's shoulders, when they had the opportunity to meet in the past, the two might have joked, but not today!

Walking out of the players' tunnel and stepping onto the court, they will meet each other, and one side is destined to be full of regrets after the game!

At the end of the pre-match performance, the referee team ordered the players to get ready to start playing.

The players of the two teams walked behind the referee team with their heads held high, and entered together.

The magnificent Champions League theme song is mixed with the shocking noise created by the fans of the two teams at the new Wembley stadium, and the players of Liverpool and Barcelona stepped into the stadium, lined up, everyone's eyes were sharp or calm, full of fighting spirit, and a momentum suddenly burst out!

The countdown to the battle of the pinnacle has begun! (To be continued.) )
