Qin Xiong stood at the exit of the players' tunnel, behind captain Thierry Henry, he held the caddie in his hand and did not squint, and beside him, the Barcelona generals were also ready to go.

If the Champions League final two years ago was a group of newborn calf hopefuls and a group of little-known strength players staged a counterattack showdown, then today's Champions League final is a well-deserved battle of superstars!

The Champions League final between Ajax and Porto is the lowest-watched Champions League final in history, if Qin Xiong had today's popularity and strength at that time, then Qin Xiong would definitely be the player who was considered the most influential player in that game before the game, maybe his performance will be considered to be able to decide the game, but unfortunately, before that game, Porto and Ajax were considered to be five or five before the game.

And today's Champions League final will be the pinnacle of the showdown led by two of the brightest superstars in European football in the past three years!

A true showdown at the pinnacle.

Two years ago, Ajax and Porto, who were considered to be the core players in the Champions League final, could only play as the second male number in this game.

Qin Xiong and Deco.

The eyes of the outside world will first focus on Henry and Ronaldinho!

This is an indisputable reality.

When the players of both teams walked into the stadium with their heads held high, the Champions League theme song sounded on the spot.

Arsenal and Barcelona will face off at the Stade de France in Paris!

The atmosphere was enthusiastic, and even the gloomy sky could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans.

A silent drizzle began to fall, and the slightly cold raindrops were only evaporated by the surging fighting spirit of the players on both sides.

"The 2005-2006 UEFA Champions League is finally in the final! We will watch the battle between Premier League champions Arsenal and La Liga champions Barcelona compete for the UEFA Champions League at the Stade de France!

Barcelona have continued to improve themselves since their collapse at Stamford Bridge last year and have been on the road all the way this season. They deduce the essence of beautiful football. Barcelona led by Ronaldinho brought football back to good times as European football entered the utilitarian era!

Arsenal have dominated England for the past three seasons. Starting with an unbeaten title, Arsenal's progress and improvement have also been impressive, and they have kept a clean sheet in 12 Champions League games this season, which is already a Champions League record, and we must pay tribute to Arsenal!

The focus of the game is, of course, Arsenal captain Thierry Henry and Barcelona scleroper Ronaldinho.

Winning the Premier League Golden Boot four times in five years and becoming Europe's top scorer for three consecutive years, Henry has long been famous and has the World Cup. With the European Championship, the league and many other titles, he is just one Champions League away from making a career Grand Slam, and if he can lead Arsenal to victory today, there is no doubt that his football status will be further improved, even though he is already at the top!

Ronaldinho, who was crowned Mr. Ballon d'Or last year, danced the smart samba in European football, he is the most alternative star in contemporary football, he presented the best side of football to fans all over the world, Ronaldinho, who has been crowned Mr. Ballon d'Or, led Barcelona to suppress Real Madrid in La Liga, if Barcelona can win today. Should we say that Ronaldinho can already be called the new king of the modern era?

Demanding fans will surely demand that Ronaldinho lead Brazil to victory at this summer's World Cup.

Hehe, let's wait and see.

To be able to have two superstars compete in the same field. It's all about making the Champions Cup final shine.

Here's a look at the starting line-ups and benches for both sides.

Arsenal started 451.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Eboue, Toure, Campbell, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Ljungberg, Cesc Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pire.

Striker: Thierry Henry.

Subs: Almunia, Senderos, Klich, Hleb, Reyes, Van Persie, Flamini.

Barcelona started 433.

Goalkeeper: Valdés.

Defenders: Oleg, Marcos, Puyol, Van Bronckhorst.

Midfielders: Van Bommel, Edmilson, Deco.

Forwards: Gyuli, Eto'o, Ronaldinho.

Subs: Holkela, Belletti, Motta, Xavi, Larsson, Silvinho, Iniesta.

Well, Barcelona will kick off first, so let's keep our eyes peeled for the pinnacle showdown between the two teams! ”

There is nothing to say about the lineup on Arsenal's side, the strongest squad that can be sent to the field is the strongest squad on paper, and in the substitute lineup, Bergkamp, who is about to retire, did not enter the substitute list, and Wenger talked to Bergkamp before the game, which is a pity for Bergkamp.

On Barcelona's side, in order to curb Arsenal's attack in the middle, Rijkaard replaced Xavi with Edmilson, a defensive jack-of-all-trades, to strengthen the central defense, and Messi, an Argentine talent who has emerged in La Liga, was not included in the squad because he was in doubtful condition just after recovering from injury.

The cheering atmosphere in the stands was unmatched.

Don't look at Henry, Wenger is French, Henry was born in the suburbs of Paris, this game is played on their home turf, but the superstar Ronaldinho once played for Paris Saint-Germain, the only top league club in Paris, which makes him here with unprecedented support from the local fans, so it is difficult to say who can benefit from the cheering atmosphere between Arsenal and Barcelona.

Qin Xiong stood on the court, his mood naturally couldn't be calmed down, and his excitement was constantly improving.

He looked at Barcelona's half, looking at the opponent.

Barcelona actually has many stars who are famous, but they are overshadowed by Ronaldinho's aura.

Just like many fans only see Ronaldinho in their eyes, and other stars have become green leaves around Ronaldo, isn't Deco, the core of Portugal's midfield, famous?

Could it be that Dutch midfielder Van Bommel and Spanish defensive pillar Puyol are unknown?

Gyuli, Samuel Eto'o, would be a star to be reckoned with in any other team.

But it was in Barcelona that Ronaldinho's light was so dazzling that it was difficult for the stars to compete with it.

The race is on.

Samuel Eto'o played the ball to Ronaldinho and Barcelona went on the offensive quickly.

Ronaldinho played the ball back to Deco behind him and then ran to the left of the pitch himself, who flicked the ball into Ronaldinho's feet before he was pressed by Thierry Henry.

Xiao Luo stopped the ball, dribbled forward, and in front of him, the person who moved to the front to defend was Qin Xiong!

Ronaldinho made a gesture to break through from Qin Xiong's left side, but suddenly flicked the ball sideways to the right side in front of him, Qin Xiong did not shake and decisively moved to the other side of his body.

Ronaldinho's right foot quickly knocked the ball away from the left side of Qin Xiong's body after plucking the ball!

Immediately after that, he accelerated past Qin Xiong's side!

Fast! Smart! An incredible change of direction!

Qin Xiong did not change his center of gravity to chase Xiao Luo at the moment of being broken through, but turned around and ran in the direction of the forbidden area.

Going to chase Xiao Luo?

That can't catch up anymore.

He's going to run straight to the penalty area for other defenses!

The pinnacle battle has officially begun! (To be continued......)
