Although La Liga only ended on May 14, Barcelona, like Arsenal, successfully defended its title in advance at the end of April, unlike Arsenal, which was one round ahead of schedule, and Barcelona was three rounds ahead of schedule!

So Barcelona will not be at a physical disadvantage at all, they are full of energy, and both Arsenal and Arsenal have adjusted to their limits at the end of the season to go to Paris, France.

It's just that Barcelona did not have time to hold a league championship celebration, and rushed to Paris immediately after the league ended.

Ronaldinho's presence seemed to have ignited a frenzy among football fans across the city, and he was by no means a warrior when he arrived in Paris, as Thierry Henry did.

He is full of free and unrestrained atmosphere, as if he is a natural optimist, bringing people a relaxed and pleasant sense of immediacy.

It is his attitude that will put some pressure on Arsenal.

Maybe that's the king's bearing, or the essence of samba football, free and romantic, unrestrained.

After Arsenal went through an internal team mentality adjustment, Barcelona arrived in Paris one step later, and now the two teams are really ready for the game.

The clock has also struck the countdown to the Champions League final.

While many media outlets wanted to interview players before the game, Arsenal FC issued a media gag that restricted players from personal interviews.

It was the most important game in the club's history, and with the club taking it more seriously than ever, no one wants to get out of the way, especially when it comes to the media.

The day before the Champions League final, Qin Xiong's agent Freddy and countless sponsor representatives behind him gathered in Paris, also preparing to watch the Champions League final live.

There is no doubt that Qin Xiong's second Champions League final in his career is extremely crucial. That will determine whether he can become an undisputed superstar!

In terms of popularity. Within Asia. Qin Xiong is a well-deserved superstar.

But at the competitive level, in European football, can Qin Xiong break through the last layer of window paper and become a green superstar.

This second Champions League final will be very important.

If he loses, then he still has time to move forward, after all, he will not turn 21 in another month.

But if he wins, his popularity and future will be limitless.

He will also be the first player of the new generation to officially step into the ranks of superstars!

Kaka, Ronaldo. Rooney, Messi, Torres and other players, most of them are still supernovas and first-class top stars, and they are still a certain distance from superstars.

And Qin Xiong, as the rookie king of European football in 2005, has come to the threshold of the superstar gate.

Superstars and kings are two different things.

But to be crowned, you must first become a superstar!

Similar opportunities didn't just appear in front of Qin Xiong.

Like Henry and Ronaldinho, it will be the "challenge of the king" in the mouth of the media in this game! "Opportunity in front of you.

In the afternoon, Arsene Wenger and Barcelona coach Rijkaard attended a press conference before the Champions League final.

Rijkaard's tone is a little low-key, but there is a confidence in the low-key.

"Barcelona has been improving in the last two years. It's close to perfection now and we've won a lot of games. We have won some trophies, but everyone knows that the Champions League is the highest achievement of European clubs, and we expect to return to Barcelona with trophies, but Arsenal is not a team that will give us a victory, I am not surprised and surprised by what Arsenal have achieved in England, unlike in the past, they not only have a killer like Henry, but also a rising star like Qin Xiong who cannot be ignored, the final will definitely be very difficult, Barcelona will do their best to win, I hope the lads don't take it lightly and play the style of Barcelona and put our football philosophy on the pitch so that fans around the world can see what Barcelona is all about. ”

Arsene Wenger also complimented his opponent in his pre-match press conference.

"Barcelona are one of the top teams in European football, over the course of a season, Barcelona often dominate the headlines, their games are exciting, the players are talented, they present a gorgeous football in front of the fans, they have a lot of clamour, they have a lot of clamour, that's understandable, Arsenal are in the Champions League final for the first time, and Barcelona have already won the Champions League, but I hope it doesn't put pressure on the players, it's a motivation to fight for the club's first Champions League trophy, as for how to limit Ronaldinho, I think Barcelona is strong as a whole, not on any one player, and if we focus on Ronaldinho, it would be an unforgivable mistake! He's going to be a big threat and he's going to be a headache for us, but we can't just see Ronaldinho alone, Samuel Eto'o, Giuli, Deco, they can also make things difficult for Arsenal and even kill the game. ”

The pre-match press conference between the two managers quickly made football headlines.

Barcelona's Champions League clash with Arsenal is on the verge of breaking out.

17 May 2006.

Arsenal and Barcelona arrive at the Stade de France in Paris in the evening.

After warming up, the players of both teams returned to the locker room to adjust their emotions.

The stadium is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Champions League, and this year is the 51st Champions League final, so the venue for the final has also returned to Paris, France.

In the dressing room, the Arsenal squad has already packed up their game gear.

Arsene Wenger stood in front of everyone and made a rare pre-match dressing room speech.

"246 days, 124 Champions League matches, we are here, Paris, France, the Stade de France!

Everyone is saying that Arsenal are in the Champions League final for the first time, that we are inexperienced, that we are not as confident and calm as Barcelona.

I think it's a big mistake!

No team is born a champion, and it takes a period of struggle to have a glorious history.

I have to admit that Arsenal's European history is not worth mentioning, and our background in European competition is like a blank slate, which is the reason why others despise and ridicule us.

But I think that's a good thing.

This makes us the writers of history and the changers of fate!

The heritage shaper of a great club!

Everyone here has gone down in history as part of the glory of the Arsenal club.

But we have the opportunity to rewrite history today and have our name engraved on the club's monument and into one of the most glorious chapters of European football.

This is my chance, and this is your chance.

We should be rational, sober, motivated, and uncowardly, to face today!

I'm so proud of you!

Please make every Arsenal person proud! ”

Arsene Wenger's speech did not cause the whole team to be wild and unrestrained, on the contrary, every word of the professor hit the heart directly, so that the Arsenal players were neither overly excited nor pessimistic, and faced the game with the right mentality.

Wenger walked out of the dressing room, then Henry stood up, Qin Xiong stood up, and the Arsenal generals got up one after another, surging with fighting spirit! (To be continued......)
