"The 2010-2011 European Champions League final was held today at the New Wembley Stadium in London, England. The two teams that entered the Champions League final this season are giant Liverpool from England. They have reached the Champions League final for the second consecutive year as the defending champion. If Liverpool wins the Cup today, they will set a record for the reform of the Champions League, and the first team to defend this honor!

Another team that reached the finals is the Spanish giant Barcelona. Last season, Barcelona was eliminated by Liverpool in the quarter-finals as the defending Champions League champion. Today, the two teams are the Champions League champions in the past two times, which shows to some extent the two teams' status in European football. They have the strength to surpass most teams. The two giant teams with superior strength have staged a peak battle, which undoubtedly makes fans look forward to the game!

There are no major players absent from both teams today, which is good news that can allow both teams to perform to the highest level.

It can be said that Liverpool, which has a certain home advantage, is 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Reiner.

Defenders: Johnson, Scotter, Ager, Baynes.

Midfielder: Mascherano, Alonso, Gerald.

Forwards: Kuyt, Raul, Qin Xiong.

Barcelona is also 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Valdes.

Defenders: Alves, Puyol, Pique, Abidal.

Midfielder: Butsques, Xavi, Iniesta.

Forwards: Messi, Villa, Pedro.

Well, the kickoff ceremony for the Champions League final has been completed, and Liverpool will take the lead in the kickoff. Let us enjoy this game in the enthusiastic atmosphere of the New Wembley Stadium!”

Liverpool's kickoffers are Raul and Qin Xiong.

The two stood in the middle circle with a solemn expression. They immediately kicked off after the referee blew the whistle. After Raul transferred the ball to Qin Xiong, the trident began to run forward together.

Qin Xiongdian led the football forward, and Villa might not have expected that Liverpool would come to the Golden Sword after kickoff.

Qin Xiong dribbled directly and rushed past him. After Iniesta and Xavi formed a joint defense, Qin Xiong knocked the ball behind him with his heels.

Villa had just turned around and was about to turn around. He was shocked to see Gerald rushing up from behind and strode to the ball and rushing past him.

Qin Xiong and Raul Kuyt have already entered the front midfielder.

When Gerald encountered Iniesta, he passed the ball diagonally and directly to Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong cuts the ball across the cross-section with his outer instep near the middle.

Xavi retreated behind Qin Xiong, and Busques was about to step forward to press. At this time, Qin Xiong suddenly passed the ball straight into the right side of the penalty area.

Raul ran in front of the penalty area to cover Kuyt, who directly broke into the penalty area.

Abidal returned to the penalty area and was a little panicked when he turned around. Kuyt shot diagonally to the goal on the right side of the penalty spot!

Valdes rushed towards the goal near the post and blocked the ball from the baseline in a thrilling manner!

Liverpool's start to attack made Barcelona sweat!

"Wow! The defending champion Liverpool shot to the goal in the first attack after the opening game. They made the game extremely fast from the first minute. It seems that they really want to play their home advantage to the extreme!"

Guardiola looked calm on the sidelines. He knew that Liverpool was a passionate team that did not play according to common sense.

It is certainly fake to say that it was not expected, and it is obvious that Liverpool is playing in London and entering the game faster than Barcelona, ​​which is undoubtedly.

Barcelona must recover from the early adaptation stage of the game before they can compete with Liverpool.

Liverpool began pressing in the midfield.

Barcelona played a fast break in the 5th minute of the game.

Xavi and Iniesta quickly and skillfully cooperated in the midfield, and then Iniesta made a diagonal pass to send the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Messi stopped the ball here and took the ball in place.

Baynes moved sideways to Messi. This should be the first time Baynes played against Messi. In the past, he played for Everton and had no chance to meet Messi.

There is no chance in national team competitions.

Baynes should know Messi's ability. Although Qin Xiong and Messi are not exactly the same type of players, during training, Baynes, who was ravaged by Qin Xiong repeatedly, became aware of it before the start of the game.

He can't completely contain Messi!

Then we must keep the strategic impulse as much as possible when Messi takes the ball.

Can't give Messi room to cut inside!

Baynes narrowed the distance between himself and Agge, making sure Messi would not be given a line to cut inside, and then waited for Messi to make a choice.

When encountering a player with super explosive ability on the spot, you must not take the initiative to step forward and kick off the center of gravity of your body.

For example, Robben, Qin Xiong, Ronaldo and Messi who explode on the spot and start a super terrifying player, the defensive player first makes his foot and loses his body's center of gravity, so just wait for it to be passed. No matter how fast you turn around, after turning around, half a century has passed.

Messi saw Baynes' defensive position approaching the central defender, and Alonso was pressing from the side. He dunked the ball to the outside with his left foot, and then led the ball to the nearest baseline along the edge of the penalty area. When Baynes came to press, Messi took a step back and suddenly made a cross.

Villa attracted the defensive attention of Agge and Scotter in front of the goal, but Pedro, who cut in the back point, was left unmarked!

Because Pedro's running position was rather cunning, Johnson failed to keep up as soon as possible.

The football fell to the back point of the penalty area, and Pedro's header followed up made a huge crisis in front of Liverpool's goal.

Fortunately, Pedro's header directly pushed the ball out of the baseline!

Slightly off the post!

"Barcelona almost broke through Liverpool's goal! This time, Messi restrained Liverpool's defense on the right and then sent a threatening cross. Unfortunately, Pedro failed to seize the opportunity!"

Pedro bared his teeth and expressed his helplessness. He thought about it carefully. Messi's cross just now had a little internal rotation, which made him unable to exert force on the front header, and he failed to push the ball in the end!

Guardiola took a deep breath on the sidelines.

He knew very well that such a peak contest was often fleeting!

It is already very good for Barcelona to make such an attack.

And this is the opportunity that must be seized!

You can't expect to absolutely break through your opponent's defense in front of a strong opponent to score goals.

Perhaps Guardiola's awareness is right, but perhaps it is because Liverpool and Barcelona are having a hard time in their respective leagues, which makes them both not fully aware of the team's weaknesses.
Chapter completed!
