At Wembley Stadium, the first half of the game is over.

Manchester City are provisionally leading Hull City 3-0.

The third goal came in the 37th minute of the first half, when Yaya Toure's long-range shot helped to extend the score further.

At half-time, the Manchester City players returned to the dressing room one by one, the team's lead was too great, and the opponents were far inferior to them.

As long as they don't open the champagne at half time, this game will be won for the most part.

"Have you received a training notice from the national team?"

Because the World Cup is approaching, the topics of the players in the dressing room are increasingly starting to be associated with the World Cup.

"Got it, there shouldn't be anyone in our team who hasn't received it, right?"

"Hehe, the main team should have been called up by the national team, but it's hard to say about the substitutes, like a few favorites to win the championship, their national team is not so easy to enter!"

Manchester City has a lot of Spanish players in the team, and there are too many big stars in Spain.

This makes it extremely difficult to get into the final 23 squad, and people like Xavi Garcia, Negredo, Navas and others may all be defeated.

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about it, which national team are you optimistic about winning the championship?"

Captain Kompany sensed the loss of the undrafted players, so he quickly diverted the topic and found a new topic that everyone was interested in.

"Hehe, I'm optimistic about the Three Lions!"

As an Englishman, Milner had no suspense in supporting his homeland.

"Forget about the British team, this configuration looks like it's second-rate!"

Other team-mates have expressed disdain for Milner's words, and the 23-man squad for Great Britain has been announced.

Compared with a top team like Spain, many of the internationals selected for the British national team are from ordinary teams in the Premier League, and the value of the players alone cannot be compared with the Matadors.

"How about Germany? I feel like Germany is going strong this year! ”

It wasn't Kroos who spoke, he was usually quiet in the dressing room.

"It's quite strong, the age of the squad is relatively young, the German team is also good, if nothing else, the semi-finals should be able to enter, the championship is not easy to say, it depends on luck!"

"Hehe, have you forgotten about the Red Devils of Europe? Belgium is our top team in Europe! ”

"Haha, the Belgian lineup is good, but forget about that first gear, who takes it seriously!"

Of the eight seeded teams at the 2014 World Cup, four were from Europe and four from South America.

The four seeded teams in South America live up to their name, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia, which are indeed the four strongest teams.

But whether the four teams on the European side are worthy of the first pot is a matter of opinion.

Everyone has no opinion on the Spanish and German teams ranked in the first pot in Europe, one of these two teams is the champion of the last session, the other is the top four of the last edition, and the record in recent years is also obvious to all, and they are the favorites to win the World Cup.

But for the other two teams, Belgium and Switzerland, there is a lot of disagreement.

France and Italy have been placed in Pot 3 or even Pot 4, which makes people scoff at this rating of this World Cup.

Can Belgium and Switzerland dare to say they will be able to play France and Italy?

Belgium have a squad that is not weak, with stars such as Thibaut Courtois, Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne, Marouane Fellaini, Dembele, Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku.

But these people are too young, and I am afraid that I will have to rely on them to fight the country.

What's more, they don't have any championships in team history, and they didn't even qualify for the last World Cup in South Africa, and they are far inferior to the champions of Italy and France in terms of heritage.

"The South American team is very strong this year, plus it is their home stadium, I don't know if the championship will be taken away by them!"

After evaluating the strong teams in Europe, everyone evaluated the four South American heroes.

During the whole discussion, there was a team that was obviously the elephant in the house, but it was ignored by everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, and it was not mentioned in the whole process.

Lin Quan listened to everyone's discussion on the side, and felt a little funny in his heart.

Just don't talk about Spain, do you?

It seems that Spain's strength over the years has left a very deep ideological stamp on everyone, making them subconsciously develop Western-phobia.

The fifteen-minute half-time break ended quickly, and the two sides changed sides in the second half.

Manuel Pellegrini did not make any adjustments to his technical and tactical style at half-time, but only told his players to pay attention to their movements on the pitch to avoid injuries.

In a week's time, they will go to the Stadium of Light in Lisbon to play Atletico Madrid for the Champions League, and they must not be injured at this time, which could be regretted for life.

The situation of the game was similar to that of the first half, with Manchester City firmly in control of the field, slowly strangling their opponents like boiled frogs.

Hull City played extremely passively, and the attack was ineffective and easy to be counterattacked by the opponent.

The defense was a little tired, and it couldn't keep up with the fast pace of Manchester City's game.

This kind of competition makes them feel desperate and suffocated.

At the Camp Nou, the Barcelona fans were also suffocated.

In the 49th minute, Atletico stubbornly equalized, so that the smile of the Barcelona man that lasted only more than 30 minutes was fixed on his face.

The score was equalized, which meant that Barcelona's three points and the championship trophy were all flying away!

At the moment of the goal, the Camp Nou was deadly silent, and the faces of the Barcelona fans were full of shock and consternation, obviously difficult to accept such an ending.

On the sidelines, Martino was completely panicked.

He hurried to make successive substitutions in short bursts of time in an attempt to re-establish the lead.

But Simeone's Atletico Madrid was like a wall of sighs, stubbornly standing in front of them, causing them to hit their heads and bleed, but they never succeeded.

Messi also seems to be in a hurry, he rarely takes on defensive tasks, and even drew a foul in a scramble and received a yellow card.

Messi's reactivation has given hope to Barcelona fans at Camp Nou.

This is a player who has created countless miracles, and they believe in Messi unconditionally, and they firmly believe that he will lead the team to victory!

"Messi!"

"Messi!"

The Barcelona fans chanted Messi's name in unison, seemingly pouring all their hopes into Messi.

Messi felt a lot of pressure and he played very aggressively, sparing no effort to pass, catch, run and break through in front of the court.

But Atletico Madrid's defense is too strong, as strong as Messi, and it can only be defeated again and again.

The game time was consumed bit by bit, and the situation on the field was still unfavorable to Barcelona.

They attacked in a hurry, but they couldn't open the situation, but were used by the opponent to counterattack and play several threatening attacks.

For this reason, defenders such as Pique, Busquets, and Mascherano had to use tactical fouls to stop the opponent.

And they were duly punished, with the camera being shown a yellow card by the referee.

In the 77th minute, Martino glanced at the bench and made the last substitution of the game.

He brought on 34-year-old veteran Xavi for Cesc Fabregas.

Xiaofa walked off the court in a dejected manner, and even seemed to have forgotten to high-five Xavi.

He chose to obey Barcelona's call and return to Barcelona to fight for the Red and Blue Army, not only because he had La Masia's blood in his veins, but also because the Barcelona team was strong and dominated Europe.

He is the captain of Arsenal, but Arsenal has no championship every year, and there is no big move in terms of recruitment, which makes Xiaofa feel that there is no future to continue to stay at Arsenal.

And when he chose to join Barcelona, Barcelona won the Champions League twice in three years, and was once called the Universe Team, and his career prospects are not known how many times ahead of Arsenal!

However, the good times did not last long, and not long after he arrived, the club was denied due to the turmoil caused by the change of leadership, and the meritorious coach Pep Guardiola left.

After Pep Guardiola left, Vilanova was a very suitable successor, but the weather was unpredictable, and the latter had to step down because of cancer.

In three years, Barcelona changed three managers.

Naturally, the team's record has also been greatly affected, and in three years, he has only helped the team win one league title and one Copa del Rey title, which is far from a few years ago.

This Barcelona team is exactly the same as the Arsenal team he chose to leave at the beginning, and the despair made him hopeless.

Should he stay at Barcelona and play for the Red and Blues?

The belief in Xiaofa's heart began to waver, and the strong urge to fight for Barcelona at the beginning has been smoothed out by the years.

Glancing back at his teammates on the pitch, he glanced at the familiar Camp Nou.

Cesc Fabregas made a decision at this moment: he will leave Barcelona after the World Cup!

Xavi and the rest of the Barca players were unaware of the decision Cesc Fabregas had just made, and when he came on, he put all his energy on attack.

As a 34-year-old veteran, Xavi is well aware that his time at Barcelona has entered the countdown.

Before leaving, he hopes to win more honours for the team.

Moreover, this is Camp Nou, and any Barcelona person must defend the dignity of Camp Nou here!

He will never allow Atletico to lift the trophy at Camp Nou!

Xavi didn't have the stamina to play the whole game, but he was substituted in the 77th minute and had to deal with less than 30 minutes of play, so for Xavi, his stamina was not a problem at all.

The arrival of the old partner made both Iniesta and Messi breathe a sigh of relief.

With Xavi here, they can play more comfortably.

As a result, Barcelona gradually improved in attack, and their attacks became more and more threatening to Atletico's goal.

On the long side, Simeone's eyes narrowed slightly.

As a midfielder-driven coach, he admires Xavi.

It's rare to have such a performance at this age, and he admires the one-man-one-city spirit that he has played for all of his career.

However, this is a professional arena and a decisive battle to decide the La Liga title.

No matter how much he admired Harvey, he couldn't have any soft-heartedness.

Thinking of this, Simeone quickly made personnel adjustments and specially arranged people to keep an eye on and restrict Harvey.

The tweak paid off quickly, and Boyd didn't have to do anything when he came on the court, just acting as a kraft candy and sticking to Harvey.

As Xavi gets older, his physical ability to fight and his ability to get away from defense have declined.

With Boyd's interference, Xavi struggled more and more to play.

And without Xavi as a dealer, Barcelona's attack, which was finally a little better, was extinguished again.

In the end, at the end of the game, Barcelona was defeated by Atletico Madrid and gave up the championship trophy to the other party.

At the end of the whistle, Atletico Madrid celebrated wildly at the Camp Nou.

This is their first league title in 18 years, and coincidentally, the last person who helped Atletico Madrid lift the trophy again after 19 years happened to be Simeone standing on the sidelines.

Simeone, a young coach who has only only been picking up the whip for a short time, has proven his coaching prowess at Atletico Madrid.

It is also from this moment that La Liga will change from a situation of two giants in the Spanish Super League to a three-legged triumph of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

And his Atletico Madrid, in the five major leagues, has gradually risen to become a top team that people dare not ignore.

Now, all that remains in front of them is the last game – the Champions League final!

If Simeone's Atletico can win this game, they will become legends in Europe!

……

Almost at the same time as the whistle blew at Camp Nou, the halftime whistle blew at Wembley Stadium.

The score on the big screen is frozen at 6:0!

There is no doubt that it was a massacre, and a massacre in the final.

It was the largest final margin in FA Cup history, equalling the record set in 1902-03 Boehly against Derby County.

In that game, Derby County also won 6-0.

Looking at this desperate scoreline, Hull City's players were dejected, they tried almost all of their efforts, but they all failed.

This score is a true portrayal of the strength of both sides, and they are convinced to lose.

And the Manchester City players, at the moment of the half-time whistle, rushed to the pitch and cheered together.

This is their third Premier League trophy this season, second only to the league title.

The Wembley stands had turned into a sea of blue, and Queen's We Are the Champions song resounded in the air.

The stage was quickly set up, with FA officials and Prince William of the British royal family coming to the scene to present medals and trophies to the Manchester City players who won the championship.

"Lin, your performance is awesome, I'm your fan!"

When presenting Lin Quan with the award, Prince William said to him with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, since you're my fan, then I'll give you an autograph!"

"Oh? Okay, but I didn't bring paper or pen! ”

Before Prince William finished speaking, he saw Lin Quan take the ball with which he had completed his hat trick, sign his name on it, and then handed it to him.

"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince is satisfied with this signature?"

Prince William was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course satisfied, thank you, Lin, I want to invite you to a meal if you have the opportunity, I hope you don't refuse!" ”

And Lin Quan scored a hat trick in the final, and he can take away this football.

However, he gave the ball to Prince William, which made the latter feel the weight of the gift.

For Prince William's overtures, Lin Quan naturally would not refuse.

With three titles already under their belts, Manchester City's players celebrated with restraint.

Their minds have all flown to the Champions League trophy!

Getting that trophy is really worth celebrating!
