4 June 2017, Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales.

The 2016-2017 Champions League final will be played here.

The stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, is already full at this time.

Because the match was played on English soil, the number of Manchester City fans who came to the scene was significantly higher than Real Madrid.

Manchester City fans, dressed in sky-blue jerseys, occupy more than half of the stadium stands.

However, although the number of fans of Real Madrid is not as good as Manchester City, the momentum and movement they create are not less than that of Manchester City.

Almost all of the Real Madrid fans who come to Wales to watch the game are die-hard fans of the team.

They had already organized it in advance before they came, and all the props were ready.

Banners and banners for the players, a huge flag with the Real Madrid emblem on it, and scarves for the fans.

Before the game began, Real Madrid fans displayed a huge portrait of Cristiano Ronaldo in the south stand, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

"It seems that Ronaldo is very popular with fans on Real Madrid's side, and he actually made such a huge portrait for him."

"After all, Ronaldo has been playing for Real Madrid for eight years, and it can be said that he has left the best period of his career at Real Madrid, and Real Madrid fans can see his contribution to the team, so they naturally respect him."

"Cristiano Ronaldo is 32 years old this year, and I don't know how long I can stay at Real Madrid, I have the impression that there are very few players who can live in Real Madrid, even if they are stars with outstanding fame and strength."

In fact, as early as two years ago, there were rumors from the outside world that Ronaldo and Real Madrid had an unhappy quarrel because of the salary issue, and Ronaldo even had the idea of transferring for a while.

Although Real Madrid Club and Ronaldo himself have never expressed their stance on this matter, this kind of rumor may not be groundless, after all, the other two supergiants of the same grade as Ronaldo have seen their salaries rise sharply after signing the team's contract extension, and their annual salaries are even almost twice that of Ronaldo.

Seeing that Lin Quan and Messi have raised their salaries, even if it is not for money, for the sake of supergiant face, Ronaldo will definitely make corresponding demands to Real Madrid.

As for whether Ronaldo's request has been met by Real Madrid, it is unknown, anyway, Ronaldo and Real Madrid have not renewed their contract, but Ronaldo's contract time is running out, if the two sides cannot reach an agreement as soon as possible, then Ronaldo is likely to leave this year or next summer.

Therefore, this move by Real Madrid fans is not only to express their love for Ronaldo, but also to put pressure on the club, hoping that the club can find a way to keep Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was warming up on the pitch, was very moved after seeing his portrait in the south stand, he ran over to greet the fans enthusiastically, and even took a photo with several die-hard fans sitting in the front row, and gave the other party a few autographed footballs.

Ronaldo's pro-people move has been warmly cheered and applauded by the fans, and in the area of favoring fans, Ronaldo and Lin Quan opposite are almost carved out of the same mold.

Both of them don't have much in front of the fans, and they will try their best to meet the various requirements of the fans, as long as they are not too excessive.

No, when Ronaldo was signing autographs with his fans, Lin Quan also chatted with a group of Chinese fans who came all the way from Asia.

"Brother Lin, here!"

Lin Quan was bouncing the ball on the sidelines to maintain the sense of the ball, and after hearing the country sound from the sidelines, he stopped his movements and walked over.

In the stands near the edge of the court, there were more than a dozen yellow-skinned and black-eyed Asians, who were greeting Lin Quan excitedly.

"Ahh

"He saw us!"

Several young female fans saw Lin Quan walking towards them, screaming excitedly.

Superstars, who can only be seen on TV and newspapers, really appeared in front of them at this moment, which made them excited.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Quan, thank you very much for coming all the way to support us, thank you!"

Lin Quan was very polite, because he knew that most of these people were coming for him.

And this time and again, the cost of food, clothing, housing and watching the football is probably not a small amount.

If you weren't a true love fan, who would spend such a lot of money to watch the game live!

You must know that the tickets for this year's Champions League final are not easy to grab, and even Lin Quan has few in his hand.

"Lin Huang, you are so polite, it is our blessing to see us Chinese dominate the game on a stage like the Champions League final, we should thank you!"

The one who spoke was an old brother from Sichuan, surnamed He, who was nicknamed Brother Huiqian.

This old brother unexpectedly became popular because of a match in the national football world preliminaries last year and became a well-known figure in the football circle.

Brother Qian likes football from the bottom of his heart, even if it is a rotten national football game, he is willing to spend a lot of money to buy tickets from scalpers to watch the game.

It's just that the national football team's record in recent years has been getting worse, and the injured brother Qian is not shallow.

So, Brother Hui Qian wanted to come to Europe to enjoy high-level competitions and wash his eyes.

In last year's European Cup, he came, and he took a photo with Lin Quan, Lin Quan had some impressions of him, so after hearing his words, he nodded and said:

"In recent years, there have been more and more East Asian players staying abroad, which proves that we yellow people are no worse than anyone else in football!"

"That's right, Lin Huang, don't you know, after you became famous, fans in the whole East Asia and even the whole of Asia regarded you as their idol, because your appearance greatly raised the ceiling of Asian players and made us all realize our unlimited potential!"

Lin Quan didn't expect that his influence in Asia would be so great, and he listened to Brother Qian's meaning, because of his appearance, which led to a football fever in Asia.

The level of attention, discussion and even investment in football has increased dramatically.

And with Lin Quan's successful example in front of him, everyone realizes the importance of youth training.

In recent years, many professional football schools have been built in China, and a large number of experienced and high-level football coaches have been hired from the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain to help improve the domestic youth training system and train young players in the most professional way.

After hearing these introductions, Lin Quan felt very happy in his heart.

The celebrity effect has a very large demonstration and driving effect on a certain sport.

is like basketball, because of Yao Ming's birth, the popularity and attention of basketball in China have greatly increased.

In recent years, the performance of the national football team has deteriorated and is miserable, but even so, there are still a large number of fans who do not give up supporting the national football team, even if they scold after watching it, but once there is a game of the national football team, they will still put down everything in their hands and concentrate on turning on the TV, computer and even mobile phone to watch the game.

Just imagine, if there is a football star like Yao Ming in domestic football, how high will the attention and topic of football be in China?

Although Lin Quan does not have Chinese nationality and cannot represent the Chinese team, domestic fans do not see him at all, and completely regard him as their own.

Even to this day, there are still many people who feel very sorry and scold the Football Association for being stupid, if the Football Association had acted faster and recruited Lin Quan into the national team early, then he may be a member of the Chinese national team now, and may even take the national football team to the World Cup!

"Well, just do a good job in youth training and the league in a down-to-earth manner, a little bit of cumulative progress, I believe that one day, we will see many players from China in the five major leagues, and the results of the national football team may also improve!"

"I hope this time will be different!"

When Brother Hui Qian heard Lin Quan's words, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, but he seemed to have thought of something, and it quickly went out again, and his tone became gloomy.

"Tickets for the front row aren't cheap, how much did you spend to get tickets for these seats?"

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to discuss the topic of the national football team, Lin Quan changed the topic.

If it weren't for the fact that these people's positions were close to the stadium just now, Lin Quan might not have been able to notice them if there was such a loud noise on the scene.

"The price on the official website is 610 euros, but unfortunately we didn't grab it, these tickets were bought from scalpers at a high price, and fifteen tickets cost a total of 28,000 euros!"

Hearing this price, Lin Quan was shocked.

For 610 euros of tickets, scalpers sold them at 3 times the price, which is a robbery!

"It's quite expensive, but the location is really good, and the seats of our few are almost next to each other, if you don't buy tickets from scalpers, you may not be able to grab so many seats in a row."

Most of the people who can go abroad to watch football are not bad at home, after all, this time and again, just the money for air tickets, food and accommodation and football tickets, it is not enough to have tens of thousands of dollars in a set.

"Lin Huang, you must win, kill Real Madrid, we are all Manchester City people tonight!"

A young fan in his early twenties took off his coat, revealing the sky blue No. 10 jersey inside, and said to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan glanced at it, and everyone, both men and women, was almost wearing his No. 10 shirt at Manchester City.

It's a die-hard fan, yes!

……

Today's weather is good, although there are still a few clouds in the sky, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain.

And the temperature is also more suitable, the temperature at night is around 14-15 degrees, accompanied by one or two levels of breeze, which makes people feel relaxed and very comfortable.

Such good weather is just right for fighting!

In the tunnel of the players, the 22 players on both sides can't wait.

The players on both sides stood on one side, not squinting at each other, clearly distinguishing, revealing a 'no one should enter' atmosphere all over their bodies.

Before the game, Manchester City's veteran Kroos wanted to come over to say hello to his old team-mates on Manchester City's side, but he felt the solemn atmosphere in the players' tunnel, and he had to dismiss such thoughts.

Both teams have acquaintances with each other, some are teammates who have played together in the national team and some are former teammates who have worked together at other clubs for a while.

But at this time, they have only one identity - Manchester City & Real Madrid players!

At this point, all other relationships can be put aside for a while, and in the eyes of the players on both sides, the other party is not their friend, but a sworn enemy on the field!

A few minutes later, under the leadership of the referee, players from both teams each led a caddie and walked onto the court in turn.

Seeing the players of both sides coming out of the players' tunnel, the fans of both teams shouted and cheered hard, desperately trying to overpower each other in terms of momentum.

Although Real Madrid's fans have worked hard, they are small in number, and the area where the players' tunnel is located is mostly Manchester City fans.

So when the players from both sides entered the stadium, almost all they heard were shouting and cheering for the Manchester City players.

"Lin Huang rises up and overturns Ronaldo!"

I don't know who it is, so I shouted at the top of my voice.

But his voice happened to be heard by players on both sides.

The corners of Ronaldo's mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and even showed a look of disdain.

Lin Quan was a little curious, and turned around to try to find the person who shouted.

But unfortunately, there are a lot of fans lying on their stomachs near the players' tunnel, and some fans who are not sitting near here also come to join in the fun.

With so many people huddled together, if that guy didn't make a sound, Lin Quan really couldn't find him.

The photographers also know who the protagonists of this game are.

Since Lin Quan and Ronaldo entered, the photographer's lens has been aimed at the two of them.

Especially in the handshake session before the game, when Lin Quan shook hands with Ronaldo, there was a clicking sound at the scene, which was when countless reporters pressed the shutter of the camera to freeze the picture.

"I'm going to win tonight!"

When shaking hands with Lin Quan, Ronaldo's lips moved and he spit out a few words.

Lin Quan paused, did not immediately move to the next person, but looked into Ronaldo's eyes, and said word by word:

"Okay, I'm waiting for you to challenge!"

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Ronaldo and walked to the next Real Madrid player.

When Ronaldo heard Lin Quan's words, he was slightly angry in his heart:

This guy thinks of himself as the champion and me as a challenger?

That's arrogant!

Although he was very unconvinced in his heart, the reality was that what Lin Quan said was not wrong at all.

Manchester City, who have completed three consecutive Champions League titles and reached the Champions League final again, are undoubtedly the champions of the Big Ears Cup competition.

If you want to take away the Big Ear Cup, you have to pass them first!

After guessing the coins and exchanging flags, each side returned to their own half.

Players from both sides gathered together to make the final mobilization while the game had not yet started.

"Knock over Manchester City and win the Champions League!"

Real Madrid's side is simple and rude, there is no superfluous nonsense, it's just such a simple sentence!

Manchester City's side is even more simple and crude, and their slogan is just two words:

"Champion!"

"Champion!"

"Champion!"

Shouting three times in a row, the players put their hands together and threw them into the air!

At 18:45, witnessed by 84,500 spectators and hundreds of millions of fans around the world, with the referee's whistle, the final of the 2016-2017 Champions League finally started!
