Although the game had not yet started, when the fans at the scene saw the players from both sides who appeared on the court to warm up, they couldn't hold back their excitement and began to shout the names of the players loudly.

On Manchester City's side, there were more than 20,000 people traveling with the team, and they all wore Manchester City's sky blue jerseys, which looked spectacular.

The number of fans on Real Madrid's side is also quite large, if not even more, and the momentum is not lost to Manchester City's side at all.

The two sides started fighting early as if they were on their home turf.

On the side of the Real Madrid fans, they have begun to sing the team anthem in unison.

On Manchester City's side, they took turns shouting the names of all the players in their team, interrupting each other when Real Madrid fans were singing to a climax, making Real Madrid fans uncomfortable.

Real Madrid fans are not fuel-efficient lamps either, and they have quickly learned to give back to the other.

When the Manchester City fans started singing the anthem, they started doing the same, to disgust the Manchester City fans.

seems to know that the highlight of this game is the duel between Ronaldo and Lin Quan, so when Real Madrid fans shouted the names of their players, Ronaldo's name was shouted three times in a row!

The movement created by so many people, the players on both sides who were warming up on the field, couldn't pretend not to hear.

Cristiano Ronaldo heard the fans chanting his name, so he stopped training and waved to the stands where the Real Madrid fans were.

He loves the feeling of being overshadowed by the stars!

The love and support of the fans made Ronaldo feel more motivated and confident to defeat Lin Quan.

In the other half, Lin Quan was also a little surprised.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been with Real Madrid for six years, but he has not won many honors for Real Madrid, and the only trophy with weight is a La Liga trophy.

But even so, looking at the fans' support and support for him, his prestige and status in the hearts of Real Madrid fans are not low!

When you think about it, it seems to make sense.

Although Ronaldo has not won many honors in Real Madrid, he has dedicated all the prime time of his career to Real Madrid, and this alone is already worthy of the love and respect of Real Madrid fans.

Moreover, for discerning Real Madrid fans, Ronaldo must have technology, strength, and outstanding appearance and temperament, such a top star, isn't it what they most respect and want?

Real Madrid fans in this period value the appearance and appearance of the players very much.

……

The half-hour warm-up time was soon over, and the players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another.

The managers of both teams did not continue to emphasize tactical play and other things, but began to do pre-match mobilization, especially psychological counseling for the players, to reduce the pressure on their shoulders.

Compared with Real Madrid, Manchester City, who have reached the Champions League final many times, is significantly less stressed on the players.

They have been successful in the last two finals, which has given them a lot of confidence and confidence to face the challenger with a more stable mindset.

But for Real Madrid, this is the first time in 14 years that they have reached the Champions League final.

Among these players in their team, except for a very few players such as Ronaldo who have experience in the Champions League final, the rest of the players are young children and have no experience in this area at all.

Therefore, before the start of the game, the mentality of the Real Madrid players was obviously a little more nervous.

In fact, it is not only the players who are nervous, but their coach Zinedine Zidane is also worried.

It's really not easy to finally get to the finals.

He didn't want to miss this great opportunity, if this was the only chance in his life, if he lost today, he would probably live in regret for decades to come!

"Hey guys, listen!"

Zidane clapped his hands, interrupting the whispers of the players in the dressing room.

"I don't think I need to stress enough about the importance of this game!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the Real Madrid players became even more solemn.

"Yes, we have a strong opponent and are the defending champions, but so what?"

"Our name is Real Madrid – the only team in the history of the Champions League to have won five consecutive titles, and we have nine Champions League trophies!"

Real Madrid are not nouveau riche without heritage, on the contrary, they can be called one of the most well-established clubs in Europe.

By saying this, Zidane is telling his players not to put their mentality in the perspective of the challenger, but in the perspective of the defender.

All teams in Europe, including Manchester City, are challengers to Real Madrid!

Because if they win this trophy, they will be the only team in Europe to achieve 10 titles!

And other teams are still far from this goal!

Zidane's words had a very good effect, and the players of Real Madrid couldn't help but straighten their chests proudly when they thought that the team they were in had such a deep heritage and glorious history, and they were proud of their team!

Seeing that his words had an effect, Zidane continued his efforts:

"So, forget who the opponent is, and when you get to the field, you have to focus on us, let go of all the psychological burden, and kick out the content of our usual training!"

"Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

"Very good, remember how you feel now, keep it up, and in 90 minutes I hope to lift our 10th Real Madrid trophy with you!"

……

Zidane is boosting morale, but Guardiola is urging the players to calm down:

"Real Madrid's defense is not as strong as Atletico's, but don't expect to break them down all at once."

"After the opening, first stabilize the rhythm, find out the opponent's tactical play, and then organize the attack, the wings on both sides should pay attention to the behind, don't give the opponent too much space, Real Madrid is very good at using the side to launch a counterattack!"

The players nodded their heads, and they were all a little eager to try.

Real Madrid, right?

Let's check out your condition, shall we?

……

Players from both teams were ready to leave the dressing room and appear on the players' tunnel, waiting to enter.

Although there are many players in both teams who know each other, no one will greet each other in this situation, not even a glance.

However, Ronaldo glanced at Lin Quan, and his eyes flashed with strong fighting intent.

Feeling the other party's gaze, Lin Quan's gaze also came, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and each felt the seriousness and firmness in each other's eyes.

In this game, they will go all out!

The referee at the front glanced at the time, then took the lead and walked out, picked up the football in front of him, and stepped onto the field.

Click, click!

A large number of reporters gathered at the entrance of the players' tunnel quickly pressed the shutter and slapped the players of both teams.

Seeing that the game was about to start, the fans at the scene also began to boil.

Entering the stadium a few hours early, many of them had already exhausted their physical strength in the previous 'fighting' with the opposing fans.

However, at this time, when they saw their own players playing, they seemed to be resurrected with full blood, and they instantly became energetic, even if their voices were hoarse, they had to continue shouting with their throats!

"Hehe, the enthusiasm of the fans is very high!"

"Yes, according to official statistics, the number of attendees for this game exceeded 80,000!"

"The admission of 80,000 fans is indeed a rare event!"

On CCTV's commentary bench, the commentators chatted while the game had not yet started, after the commentators quickly introduced the starting lists of both sides.

"Hehe, this level of competition, for fans who support the two teams, naturally will not be missed, let alone 80,000 tickets, even if it is added to 20,000, I dare to say that it will be seconds!"

Europeans have a very high passion for football, and for many people, football is a part of their lives.

So even if the tickets for the finals are expensive, or even if they have to travel to another country to watch the game, they will not hesitate to do so.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

"The game has begun, once again to the spectators and friends to introduce today's two sides, wearing a blue jersey from left to right attacking Manchester City, wearing a white jersey, attacking from right to left is Real Madrid."

In the pre-match coin guessing session, Manchester City chose the ball and Real Madrid chose the half.

Lin Quan kicked the ball to Sergio Aguero, who then passed it back to N'Golo Kante.

On Real Madrid's side, Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo quickly stepped up and pressed Kante with the ball.

Kante was unfazed and continued to pass back to Kroos, who was deeper.

Kroos took a few steps and didn't see too good options for the ball, so he continued to pass back to Van Dijk.

At this time, the forward line on Real Madrid's side has rushed to the front of Manchester City's big penalty area.

Benzema accelerated towards Van Dijk, as if trying to make a steal from under his feet.

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene, and Manchester City fans couldn't help but start worrying.

Real Madrid's opening momentum was very strong, and they actually played so actively?

Aren't you afraid of Manchester City's counterattack?

Compared with the worried Manchester City fans, Real Madrid fans couldn't help but cheer for them when they saw their team play such momentum at the beginning.

What they were most afraid of before the game was that Real Madrid was afraid of Manchester City's name, played only on the pitch, and finally lost and lost.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation on the field, there is no scene they feared.

Van Dijk may be young, but he is very experienced.

Instead of handing the ball to Kompany, who was closer to him, he passed it back to the goalkeeper.

Seeing that Van Dijk made such a choice and was sprinting towards Kompany, Ronaldo, who was going to intercept early, couldn't help but sigh and began to slow down early.

When Benzema saw Van Dijk pass the ball, he abandoned him and continued to rush towards the Manchester City goal.

Although the probability of him successfully grabbing this ball is very low, this kind of thing always has to be tried.

If the opponent's goalkeeper's psychological quality is not up to par and there is a mistake under heavy pressure, then such a scoring opportunity should not be in vain!

To Benzema's disappointment, Keylor Navas did not make such a low-level mistake.

He received the ball and handed it back to Van Dijk, who had already moved early to a relatively safe receiving position after completing his pass.

Although Real Madrid started with a fierce rush, they did not have many people in the front field after all, and there was no way to block all the points of Manchester City's ball.

After Navas got the ball back to Van Dijk, Van Dijk took two steps to the flank and then handed it to Kroos.

Kroos got the ball and saw De Bruyne drop back in the middle and handed him the ball.

De Bruyne sensed that there was an opposing defender behind him, and did not take any chances, slowing down and returning the ball to Kroos.

Manchester City played very patiently, did not attack easily, but constantly passed back and forth in the midfield, pulling Real Madrid's formation and testing Real Madrid's defensive intensity.

In this process, the ball was firmly in their hands, and they didn't let Real Madrid people touch it for a while.

There were bursts of boos from the scene, which was a protest of dissatisfaction from Real Madrid fans.

The game went on for three minutes and the football kept rolling under the feet of the Manchester City players, and Real Madrid pressed them but didn't get anything.

The frontcourt trio, which was the most active in the scramble, was even slipped around like a dog.

This made Real Madrid fans feel very angry, Manchester City, you are wasting time on your back and preparing for a penalty shoot-out?

Seeing the incompetence and rage of Real Madrid fans, Manchester City fans laughed out loud.

"Haha, just kick like this, let them see the power of our Manchester City's passing tactics!"

"Hehe, didn't you say that there was a galactic battleship on the other side? Why can't you even grab the ball? ”

"I think Real Madrid is just in name, otherwise, how could they not reach a Champions League final in 14 years?"

"That's right, Atletico next door is better than them, but Atletico Madrid has reached a final, and it won't be like this by us!"

In the coach's seats of both sides, Guardiola sat in the seat with a very relaxed expression.

You can see that he is very happy with the performance of the players.

On Real Madrid's side, Zidane is not as calm as Pep Guardiola.

Seeing Manchester City's tactics, he couldn't help but frown.

How does the opponent's style of play feel like luring the enemy deeper?

As the pioneer of pass-and-control football, Pep Guardiola will play pass-and-control, which was actually expected by Zidane.

As for how to deal with the passing tactics, Real Madrid can be said to have a lot of experience in this point, after all, Barcelona, another giant in La Liga, is the leader in passing and controlling football.

However, Manchester City's passing and control feel very different from Barcelona's!

Barcelona always like to press the formation and attack in the opponent's half when playing passing.

If the slightest mistake in the opposition defence is caught by Barcelona, it is very likely to be converted into a goal.

However, the consequence of pressing too far forward is that there is an emptiness at the back, and it is easy to get into trouble when you encounter a team with the speed and quality of the counter-attack.

Real Madrid during the Mourinho period relied on this trick to make Barcelona suffer a lot.

Zidane had also wanted to copy Mourinho's tactics and use this tactic against Manchester City.

But now judging by the situation on the field, it seems that this road will not work at all.

Manchester City's formation did not press, but Real Madrid had to press up themselves in order to destroy the opponent's inverted foot.

Well?

Wait, our formation is pressed up?

Could it be said?

Zidane seemed to think of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
