The final was between Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

An hour before the start of the game, the 94,000-seat Bernabeu Stadium was full.

One has not won the Champions League for 45 years, the other is one short of a trophy, and they are fighting on their home turf, and both Real Madrid fans and Inter Milan fans are desperate for their teams to win this Champions League.

Jose Mourinho gave Inter a 4-3-3 formation: 12-Cesar/13-McConn, 6-Lucio, 25-Samuel, 26-Zivo/4-Zanetti, 19-Cambiaso, 10-Sneijder/27-Pandev, 22-Milito, 9-Eto'o

Although this formation is the ultimate attacking formation in Barcelona, it is a "big bus" in Mourinho's hands, and only Sneijder, Milito and Eto'o are responsible for attacking, and the others are just playing hands.

Pellegrini also lined up with a 433 formation, goalkeeper: Casillas; Defenders: Ramos, Alviol, Garay, Marcelo; Midfielders: Gago, Alonso, Kaka; Forwards: Chen Yu, Higuain, Benzema

Manuel Pellegrini's squad is different from previous against strong teams, with more emphasis on attacking elements, with only Xavi, who was bought from Liverpool in the winter, as a defensive midfielder. Alonso, Diarra didn't play, but Gago came up.

Pellegrini was not completely stimulated by Mourinho, but considered that Mourinho would definitely defend and counterattack, if Real Madrid also defended and counterattacked, then the game could not be watched, if it was played at a neutral venue, considering the importance of the Champions League title, Pellegrini did not mind playing defensive counterattack, but this was a game held at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid was under a lot of pressure, and fans probably would not agree that Real Madrid and Inter Milan would each stand in their own half to play volleyball, Therefore, Pellegrini has an attacking lineup, but Pellegrini is not stupid, he is in such a formation, and when he really plays, the players will not attack aggressively and give up the space for counterattacks to Inter Milan.

After a short theatrical performance, the competition began.

Inter kicked off first, and as Pellegrini had predicted, only striker Milito stepped forward after the kick-off, with everyone else staying in their own half.

Inter Milan doesn't attack, Real Madrid can only attack, this is also no way to do it, Pellegrini is still very thin compared to Mourinho's skin, he can't learn Mourinho's kind of psychological quality that although he is scolded by tens of millions, he can't also Chen Bing half.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid has the most attacking midfielders in the world, but the defense of Mourinho's team is known to be stronger than the reinforced concrete of Serie A.

Although Real Madrid's attack is strong, it is not as good as Barcelona, in the face of Inter Milan, which is full of combat effectiveness and runs actively to defend with a very layered sense of layering, it is difficult for them to threaten the opponent's penalty area by relying on the superstar's individual ability, and often when the threat is created, the Inter Milan players will immediately foul, give you the opportunity to take a free kick, and then use the impregnable defense to make your free kick go back in vain.

Real Madrid must invest more offensive forces if they want to score, but Inter Milan's counterattack is too sharp, each counterattack never exceeds five passes, more often it is a two-foot to three-foot pass, and then the player and the ball are inserted into Real Madrid's 30-meter area like a sword, in the face of such a counterattack, the defenders and defenders are very weak when assisting.

In the blink of an eye, the game has been played for 30 minutes, the score is still 0-0, Real Madrid shot five times, Inter Milan shot once, but Real Madrid's five shots on goal did not threaten, and Inter Milan's shot did not hit the goal, but it was their own mistake when no one was defending.

Pellegrini couldn't help it, waved at Marcelo and Ramos, and made an upward press motion.

Marcelo and Ramos have long been unable to hold their breath, Marcelo has always had the heart of a winger, and Ramos belongs to the kind of player who likes to be in the limelight, Pellegrini did not allow assists in the first 30 minutes, he went up several times, and now Pellegrini has given the order, and the two almost can't wait to attack.

In the 35th minute of the game, Real Madrid launched a fast attack, Alonso in the middle split the side, Ramos crossed the penalty area diagonally, the ball was grabbed by Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar, and then Cesar kicked off the ball to attack.

Argentine striker Milito headed Sneijder forward and immediately stepped forward.

Sneijder saw that the distance between the two central defenders on the Real Madrid defense was a bit too big, he kept sending a through ball, Milito shook off the three-man defense in the middle and burst into the penalty area to calmly volley, Casillas couldn't save, the ball rolled into the net, Inter Milan took a 1-0 lead.

This swift counterattack directly knocked Real Madrid stupid.

The fans were silent and the players looked at each other.

Three people, three passes, one shot, one goal.

Many Real Madrid players have not yet reacted from the goalkeeper's big kick and have already conceded the goal.

Pellegrini's face turned red, it was like a slap in the face, he had just let the defender assist, and Inter Milan scored in just over five minutes, how should he play after that? Go on the offensive? What if you are beaten back again! Not offensive? Now the score is behind! Time is on Inter's side.

After a little hesitation, Pellegrini still insisted on attacking, Real Madrid had no way to retreat, and they had to attack, no matter how terrible Inter's counterattack was.

Inter's players were prepared for Real Madrid's onslaught, their layered and resilient defence made Real Madrid's flood of attacks futile, and every time they counter-attacked with the ball, Real Madrid's heart jumped.

In the last ten minutes of the first half, Real Madrid's onslaught not only failed to break through Inter Milan's goal, but was almost broken by Inter Milan again.

At half-time, there was a conflict in Real Madrid's dressing room, with Ramos saying that Manuel Pellegrini was too timid and should be bold enough to attack so that fear could pose a threat to Inter.

Albiol and goalkeeper Casillas at the back said that Pellegrini was too risky, and against Mourinho's team, they had to grind with him, and then let the superstars create scoring opportunities.

The players were then divided into three groups, one supporting Ramos and the other supporting Casillas, with newcomers like Chen Yu and Kaka remaining neutral, while manager Manuel Pellegrini did not have a single supporter.

After arguing for a long time, in the end Pellegrini had to make a decision, Pellegrini could not afford to offend both factions, it was all Real Madrid's Spanish gang, he had to take a muddy approach, attack first, strive for an equalizer, if the equalizer, defend and counterattack and grind with Inter Milan.

Ramos and Casillas, although not too satisfied, had no better idea and had to accept Pellegrini's arrangement.

At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack at the first time, trying to catch Inter Milan by surprise.

However, Inter's players were quite tactically aware and they kept their concentration high from the start, leaving Real Madrid without giving Real Madrid a chance.

However, Real Madrid is a superstar, and under the all-out onslaught, they have also created some scoring opportunities.

In the 50th minute of the game, Benzema split the ball with his heel, Kaka immediately passed through, and Higuain's falling shot was blocked by Cesar with his legs.

In the 52nd minute, Chen Yu dribbled the ball horizontally and shot from a distance after connecting three people, and the goalkeeper was too late to save, but the ball was blocked by defender Summerell with his body out of the bottom line.

Inter played hard, and a minute after Real Madrid's attacking surge, Milito broke down the left and crossed back and Pandev's shot was brilliantly tipped over the crossbar by Casillas.

Inter Milan's attacking finish was not impregnable, and the defensive formation began to be chaotic under Real Madrid's continuous attack.

In the 60th minute, Higuain shot directly after a successful steal in the penalty area, but Watermelon hit the ball in the side netting.

In the 62nd minute, Chen Yu dribbled the ball on the right side and passed between Pandev and Ziwo, and then passed the ball to the penalty area.

Chen Yu's cross was headed by Samuel to his teammate, causing chaos in front of goal, and Benzema's shot was blocked by Cambiaso's leg in the scuffle.

Just when the Real Madrid players saw the light of day for an equaliser, Inter Milan launched another lethal counter-attack.

In the 67th minute, Sneijder cut off Gago's ball in the middle and passed straight to Eto'o, Eto'o shared the ball in the middle, Milito used the change in speed on the left side to stun Van Boiten, and after deceiving the opponent with a feint, in the face of Casillas's attack, Milito calmly shot with his right foot, the ball hit the bottom right corner of the goal, Inter Milan extended the lead 2-0, Milito scored twice, scored the sixth Champions League goal of the season.

It was a terrible goal and a blow to morale, and with Inter's defence, there is still hope for a goal, but it is almost impossible to score two goals in less than thirty minutes, unless there is luck against the sky.

While the Inter Milan players and fans were celebrating wildly, the Real Madrid players and fans were stunned.

Including superstars such as Chen Yu and Kaka, there is a feeling of helplessness, Inter Milan's defense is too strong, and none of them are sure to break through their multiple defenses.

Pellegrini originally lacked the courage and character to fight, but there was no way at this time, he replaced Gago, replaced Guti, replaced Higuain, replaced Raul, and used the original Real Madrid players to improve the tacit understanding of the attack, and Inter Milan gave it a go.
