Whether it was Manchester City's promotion to the final for four consecutive years, or Lin Quan's incredible goal scored in the game, it was reported by major media after the game, and it quickly spread throughout the football world in a very short time.

"Lin's goal is a breakthrough in my understanding of football!"

"I can't read it, I really can't understand it, how the hell did he do it?"

"Five-person bag, can not lose the ball, this is already very incredible, can still seize the only opportunity, use the way to penetrate the goalkeeper's crotch to score the ball, how long is Lin Huang's head?

How can you be so calm, so efficient, like a computer, to eliminate all the wrong answers, and accurately find the only correct answer! ”

Before Lin Quan shot the goal, almost everyone felt that he was in a desperate situation or even dead, and the only hope was probably that the opponent would have a movement in his hands, or have a physical collision with him, and then take the opportunity to fall in the penalty area to ask for a penalty!

But not only did he not use this dishonorable method of faking the fall, but he also seized the fleeting opportunity, which can hardly be called an opportunity, and sent the ball into the goal.

None of these people in the Juventus backline are unknown, and all of them are top defensive players in football.

Even the goalkeeper is one of the best goalkeepers on the planet at the moment.

Juventus' backline made no mistake in this defense, but it was still blown up by the opponent.

Fans really can't find any other words than to say 'awesome'.

"One thing to say, Juventus lost this game very unjustly, Lin Huang's fairy ball, even if he is given another chance, he may not be able to replicate it, but when he meets Juventus, he succeeds, and Juventus's luck is no one."

Fans who have watched this game generally have a better impression of this old woman.

Juventus played really well in this game, although it lost, but this is a crime of non-war, if it weren't for Lin Huangkai, this game still has to be played, and it is not good that Juventus can enter the final.

Of course, in terms of hard power, Juventus still has some gaps compared with top teams like Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Even if it really breaks into the final, I am afraid it is not the opponent of Real Madrid, and the probability of winning the championship is less than 30%.

Speaking of which, Juventus have not performed well in the Champions League final, they have lost four consecutive finals, and every time they have worked hard to reach the final, the result is miserable.

After chatting about Lin Quan's fairy ball, the fans naturally focused on the title battle for this season's Champions League final.

After Manchester City advanced to the final, Real Madrid also beat Atletico Madrid to reach the final again.

It's almost a repeat of last year's Champions League final, with two of the best teams in football right now, and the clash between them is bound to be spectacular.

"Real Madrid's squad has been strengthened this season, and the addition of Kroos has allowed them to find the last piece of the puzzle in the midfield, the three midfielders composed of Modric, Casemiro and Kroos, I think it is the strongest midfield lineup in the whole football at the moment, even stronger than Manchester City's midfield!"

"That's right, although Kroos is very expensive, but there is a reason why it is expensive, after he joined, Real Madrid's dominance in the league and its combat power in the Champions League have been significantly improved, so to speak, although it is still the same team, but if this Real Madrid meets the Real Madrid in last year's final, they can beat themselves!"

After Kroos joined Real Madrid, he helped Real Madrid lift the La Liga trophy again after five years in his first season.

And in the Champions League, Real Madrid is also making great progress, beating strong opponents such as Bayern and Atletico Madrid, and successfully entered the final.

Although at the beginning of the season, Real Madrid fans were worried about Kroos's high transfer fees and salaries, but in just half a season, Kroos conquered all the fans at the Bernabeu with his excellent and stable performance.

Now, when it comes to Kroos, Real Madrid fans have to give a thumbs up and praise Galeries Lafayette for making a very successful deal.

It is precisely because of the significant improvement in hard power that Real Madrid fans are full of confidence.

This time, they came with the mentality of revenge against Manchester City!

There are many fans who are optimistic about Real Madrid, but there are obviously more who are optimistic about Manchester City.

"This Manchester City team is really a bit too strong, reaching the final for four years in a row, which has never happened in the entire history of the Champions League, right?"

Manchester City's inadvertently set record has Manchester City fans very excited as they are once again witnessing history.

"When Serie A was strong at the beginning, AC Milan and Juventus both set a record of reaching the final three times in a row, but it was really only Manchester City that could create four consecutive years of finals!"

"Not only that, although AC Milan and Juventus have achieved the feat of reaching the final for three consecutive years, both teams have only won one Champions League trophy, which is too much worse than Manchester City's three crowns in four years!"

"If Manchester City wins the cup again this year, it will be four championships in four years, hey, it's terrifying, this is simply a team that has monopolized the Champions League!"

"So, Real Madrid has to give some strength, and can't let Manchester City dominate!"

Neutral fans let out a wail, and from their point of view, they want to see a more competitive Champions League, not the kind of Champions League where one club has a monopoly on the title.

Therefore, Real Madrid has naturally become the hope of the whole village.

"Real Madrid's hard power is not inferior to Manchester City's, but the players' mentality is probably not as good as Manchester City!"

Last season at the San Siro, Manchester City stepped on the corpse of Real Madrid to complete the great feat of winning the Champions League three times in a row.

Therefore, facing Manchester City again, Real Madrid's side is likely to be a head shorter in momentum.

They have played Manchester City quite a few times, but they have won very few times.

Manchester City, on the other hand, the stage of the Champions League final is like going home for them, they have long been accustomed to it, and their mentality is more relaxed.

Manchester City don't have Real Madrid's team atmosphere of putting pressure on themselves from top to bottom in pursuit of the tenth Champions League trophy in the club's history, and they have won enough honours, so the players are more open-minded and hardly nervous.

"In terms of hard power, the two teams are five or five, but if you take into account the impact of the mentality of both sides, I think Manchester City may have a better chance of winning!"

Don't underestimate the impact of mentality on players, if the strength of the two sides is equal, it is very likely that the final winner will be determined by the different mentalities between the two sides.

"You don't count the impact of the venue, this year's Champions League final is being played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which is half of Manchester City's home stadium, and there will definitely be a large number of Manchester City fans from the UK and the rest of the world, even if they are neutral fans, most of them will be biased towards Premier League teams."

"Looking at it this way, Real Madrid is playing away!"

Some Real Madrid fans saw these analyses and immediately became frustrated, feeling that the team might be going back in vain this time.

"Don't be discouraged so easily, Manchester City's record in the past few years is really crazy, but this season, from the group stage, Manchester City has stumbled along the way, and the dominance has long been not as good as it was at the beginning!"

Some attentive fans have made an analysis based on Manchester City's performance in the Premier League and Champions League this season, and have concluded that Manchester City's strength has declined.

This is also inevitable, Manchester City rely on this lineup, won three consecutive league and Champions League titles.

This certainly brought them great fame and prestige, but it also made them the target of public criticism.

Many teams will specialize in Manchester City's technical and tactical play, and even specific to the style of play of each player, and then look for ways to defeat the enemy and deal with Manchester City.

Just like in the last game, the tactics used by Manchester City's opponents, Juventus, were developed specifically for Manchester City.

Obviously, Real Madrid will certainly do the same.

Barcelona was known as the Cosmos team back then, and it was invincible all over the world, but once it was thoroughly studied, didn't it also fall off the altar quickly?

Besides, Manchester City's squad is getting older, the players have won too many accolades, and the desire for glory is not as strong as before.

Without the desire for glory, it's hard to expect them to be passionate enough on the pitch.

Some players, especially some veterans, may feel that they have got what they want, and they are not willing to continue to work the field as before, and just want to lie on the credit book and enjoy.

And this situation is not uncommon in football, after Mourinho led Inter Milan to win the treble, the reason why he chose to retreat bravely is because he foresaw that after the dream of this group of veterans in Inter Milan came true, it would be difficult to bring it next season.

The state of the veteran players would have gradually declined, plus they were still the heroes of the treble, and the club chairman might also be on their side, and the head coach may not be able to do anything with them, after all, if one is not good, it is easy to spread the negative news that the team is unloading the grind and killing the donkey, and not treating the veteran well.

Manchester City are not quite there yet, but there is already a trend.

In order to maintain the team's combat effectiveness, Guardiola continues to introduce fresh blood, taking advantage of the pressure brought by young players to stimulate old players, so that they have a sense of crisis and dare not sleep on the credit book.

This trick has had a certain effect, but it cannot be said to have completely eliminated the problem.

Therefore, both Manchester City and Real Madrid actually have problems with the mentality of the players.

One is too nervous, the other is too calm.

The main reason for Manchester City's ups and downs this season is that it is difficult to win against strong teams.

Against average teams, Manchester City can beat their opponents with a very high ceiling, but once they meet an opponent who is evenly matched, this trick may not work.

Defeats to Tottenham in the league, draws by Liverpool, and Barcelona in the Champions League are all true portrayals of this situation.

Coupled with the fact that Kroos, the core of the midfield, has also been poached, and Manchester City has not known how much time it has taken this season just to adjust around the midfield position.

These problems are easy to see if you pay attention to Manchester City often.

Real Madrid clearly saw it!

Zinedine Zidane takes this game very seriously, having been in charge of Real Madrid for three years.

He has to get results, and if he doesn't, it will be very difficult for him to go further in the future.

As early as the knockout stage of the Champions League, Zidane arranged a large number of scouts to collect video footage of Manchester City's games, whether it was the league or the Champions League, almost every game.

Thanks to City's ups and downs in form this season, they have lost a lot more games than before.

So Zidane focused on studying these videos of Manchester City's loss, wanting to see how Manchester City lost.

And after a long period of observation and analysis, Zidane came to a conclusion.

Manchester City's midfield has declined, and the team's attacking system has been shaken.

This season, Pep Guardiola has tossed Gundogan back and forth between central midfield and central midfield, but he has never been able to find a suitable place to place him.

A lot of the time, City simply play with two defensive midfielders – N'Golo Kante and Fernandinho.

Manchester City do have a lot of attacking players up front, De Bruyne, Lin Quan, David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Son Heung-min, Sane and his own young Frenchman who has just turned 18.

But if the midfield can't deliver enough shells to these attacking players, the lineup that has been piled up in the front court is useless.

Coupled with the decline in the form of Manchester City's two full-backs and the decline in running distance, Manchester City's attacking firepower on the flanks has also dropped significantly.

Therefore, when defending Manchester City, as long as you pinch a few key nodes, you can have a very good effect, and even stifle the opponent's offensive system.

And in this regard, Allegri has done an excellent job.

Zinedine Zidane spent a lot of time watching the two games between Juventus and Manchester City repeatedly, especially the second game, trying to figure out the essence of Juventus' defensive tactics.

His idea is very simple, since Juventus's defense is good, then Real Madrid should learn from his good side, integrate with Real Madrid's existing defensive tactics, combine the characteristics of Real Madrid's players, and find the most suitable style of play for Real Madrid.

Even though Real Madrid's offensive firepower is one of the best in Europe, Zidane does not plan to play against Manchester City in the final.

As the saying goes, 'Attack wins the game, defense wins the title', and what Zidane wants is the Big Ears Cup, the highest honor for European clubs!

Zinedine Zidane is studying Manchester City, and Pep Guardiola is also studying Real Madrid.

This season's Real Madrid is very different from the previous Real Madrid, after the three-midfield system was stabilized, Real Madrid's offensive and defensive problems were solved at the same time.

Kroos acts as a metronome and an engine of attack, using his wide vision and ability to read the game to control the direction and tempo of Real Madrid's attack.

Modric used his excellent ball protection and dribbling ability to push forward and get the ball to the BBC trio up front.

Casemiro, with his excellent running ability, large range of movement and always high fighting spirit, escorted the two midfield partners, acted as a barrier in the Real Madrid midfield, and supported the hardness of the Real Madrid midfield.

These three have a clear division of labor, and together they form an iron triangle formation, giving full play to the strength of 1+1+1>3, which has raised the midfield strength of Real Madrid to a higher level.

It can be said that if the three of them are taken apart, each of them will not be able to play to their strength in this combination, but once they are combined, then they are the strongest midfield combination in the world today, there is no one!

Rao is Guardiola is well-informed, and he can only think of Barcelona's Habaib combination in the early years, and Manchester City's De Bruyne + Kroos + Kante combination last season can be comparable to them.

But it's a pity that Barcelona's combination has long been gone, and Manchester City's combination has lost Kroos and is already broken.
