On the evening of May 21st.
Real Madrid and Manchester United players met at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.
The stadium's stands were already full. Even if the weather was gloomy and drizzling, it could not cool down the fans' enthusiasm.
Real Madrid's snow white and Manchester United's bright red. The two teams of fans clearly divided the stands into two. The red and white colors were equally matched. The focus of the battlefield was the green field in the middle of the stadium.
At this time, the cultural performance before the Champions League final was taking place on the field.
The players of the two teams were preparing for the game in their respective locker rooms.
Qin Xiong changed into his jersey early, put on his shoes, and tidied up. He sat on the bench and waited calmly.
The other teammates in the locker room were also busy with their own things. Some would pray, some would whisper to their teammates, and some would listen to music with their headphones.
Snede suddenly walked in front of Qin Xiong and lowered his head to touch his forehead with Qin Xiong's. He whispered, "Four years later, we're standing on the stage of the Champions League final again. Come on, let's win another Champions League trophy!"
Qin Xiong closed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc.
He said in a voice that only Snede could hear, "Wesley, I'm already ahead of you. Today, I'm going to win my third Champions League trophy."
Sneijder smiled as well.
"I know, so you have to win my second Champions League trophy with me today. Otherwise, how can you not feel embarrassed?"
"Hahaha, well, let's win together!"
The two men patted each other's cheeks and then separated.
Qin Xiong's spirit and temperament suddenly changed. His expression became majestic and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
Bosque did not give a lengthy pre-game mobilization speech.
He just told everyone to face the game with a normal heart.
Everyone was already impatient with how the game should be played, so there was no need to nag before the game.
Raúl stood up and put on the captain's armband. He turned back to the crowd in front of the door and said seriously, "Today, we're going to make ourselves and all the Real Madrid fans proud! Let's go! Let's fight! "
The Real Madrid generals shouted in unison, and the momentum of the whole team suddenly changed.
When they arrived at the players' tunnel, the players from Real Madrid and Manchester United were ready to go.
Captain Ferdinand and Captain Raúl were at the front.
Behind them were Ronaldo and Qin Xiong.
The two superstars of the modern football world were about to usher in a battle of the pinnacle.
Ronaldo was majestic, and Qin Xiong had a strong aura. Today, it was not just a battle between the teams.
It was also a battle between the geniuses of the football world!
If Qin Xiong was standing next to the throne, then Ronaldo was only one step away from standing next to Qin Xiong.
Ronaldo didn't even look at Qin Xiong. An overly narcissistic person also had excessive self-confidence. He didn't think that he was worse than Qin Xiong. Today, he would show the world who was the real king in this battle!
Under the lead of the referee team, the players from both sides entered the field.
The noise of the Luzhniki Stadium suddenly resounded through the sky and shook all directions!
The battle of the kings at the top of Europe was about to begin.
The magnificent Champions League theme song echoed in the stadium, and the ceremony before the kickoff began at the same time.
"Welcome to the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League final will officially begin at 10: 45 p.m. tonight!
The two teams that broke into the final this season were Real Madrid from Spain and Manchester United from England.
Real Madrid had a shocking 12-game winning streak in the 12 Champions League games before the final!
Manchester United had a record of nine wins and three draws. Although it was not as dazzling as Real Madrid's 12-game winning streak, the 12-game unbeaten record was also admirable.
It was worth mentioning that no matter which team won the final, they would complete the achievement of winning the Champions League in a single season without losing.
And if Real Madrid won the title, then Real Madrid would achieve an unprecedented feat: winning all the games in the season without losing and winning all the trophies!
It was drizzling in the Luzhniki Stadium today. It was not known whether this would bring changes to the game.
Below is the starting list of both teams.
Real Madrid starting 442.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Defenders: Ramos, Pepe, Cannavaro, Heinze.
Midfielders: Robben, Diarra, Guti, Snede.
Forwards: Qin Xiong, Raúl.
Manchester United starting 442.
Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar.
Defenders: Wes Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.
Midfielders: Carrick, Hargreaves, Scholes, Ronaldo.
Forwards: Rooney, Tevez.
The kickoff ceremony of the game is over. Next, let's enjoy the European battle between Real Madrid and Manchester United! "
Real Madrid would kick off first. Qin Xiong and Raúl stood in the center circle, waiting for the referee to whistle to start the battle.
In Real Madrid's half, every player looked solemn and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Robben, Diarra, and the rest of the players in the entire rear defensive line except for the goalkeeper, Casillas. The six of them were stepping into the Champions League final for the first time. In addition to excitement, they were also a little dignified.
The older ones like Cannavaro did not want to have regrets in their hearts.
The young ones like Ramos were determined to step into the ranks of the superstars!
The players like Snede, Casillas, and Raúl, who had participated in the Champions League final and won the trophy before, were much calmer.
Only Guti was a special existence. He had played for Real Madrid for so long and accompanied Real Madrid to the top of the Champions League three times before and after Real Madrid's turn of the century, but he did not appear in the group photo of Real Madrid in the final.
Today, he finally appeared in the group photo of the Champions League final.
Guti's heart was surging. He, who used to live in the shadow of the superstars, finally exhaled and raised his eyebrows. He came to the top of Europe with the team as the main force for the ultimate battle!
His eyes, which were contradictory between passion and calmness, contained his incomparable determination and willpower.
He had already made up his mind.
Even if he had to risk breaking his leg, he would fight to the end!
He would become a member who could finally stand at the top of Europe!
He would wave the flag of Real Madrid and cover the sky of the entire European football world!
Because he was a child of Bernabéu, this was his dream since he was a child!
When the dream was within reach, who would give it up?
Who would care about anything else?
.....
The players of Manchester United waited for the game to start with serious expressions. Rooney and Tevez were very good and strong. The veterans of Class 92 were also old but strong. But they were now living in the light of Manchester United's new king.
Ronaldo!
He put on a complete battle stance and stood in the position of the left side of the road. His eyes swept over Real Madrid, whose clothes were whiter than snow, and his eyes revealed a trace of stubborn fighting spirit!
Crush all the heroes in the world! Only I am king!
