When the Inter Milan players came out to warm up, the Manchester United players were already warming up.
Seeing the Inter Milan players come out, the Inter Milan fans in the stands of the Luzhniki Stadium burst into loud cheers.
The leader of the fans in the stands led the Inter Milan fans and used all his strength to shout in unison: Inter Milan — Champions! Champions! Champions!
The Manchester United fans were not to be outdone. They took out the weapon they were best at — singing!
Manchester United's team song began to ring throughout the Luzhniki Stadium.
Although the game had not yet started and it was just a warm-up, the atmosphere in the stadium was already very lively.
Meanwhile, the commentators in the commentator's seat had already entered their working state.
"This is Moscow's famous Luzhniki Stadium. Today, in front of the world's fans, the 20072008 UEFA Champions League final will usher in the pinnacle of the showdown." China Central Television Sports Channel carried a live broadcast of the game. At this moment, the commentator He Wei was shouting at the top of his lungs. The live broadcast was very loud.
"Inter Milan will wear the away white jerseys in this game, while Manchester United will wear their home red jerseys."
"Before the game, there was news that Manchester United's star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, was not feeling well and may sit on the substitutes' bench. However, from the warm-up just now, Cristiano Ronaldo does not seem to have a problem with his body. This also proves that the previous news was more like a smokescreen from Manchester United's side."
The commentators from various countries began to commentate from their different perspectives. The attention paid to the UEFA Champions League final was no less than the World Cup or the UEFA European Championship final. This could be seen from the size of the commentary box.
At this moment, outside the Luzhniki Stadium, there were dozens of live broadcast cars from famous sports TV stations from all over the world. They were lined up there in a mighty manner, which was very spectacular.

"The entire Luzhniki Stadium is full," He Wei said with a sigh.
"That's right. When we came in, we saw a large number of fans gathered outside the stadium. They didn't get tickets, but they still came to Moscow. Even if they were outside the stadium, they were willing to come, just to be closer to the final game, to be closer to their beloved team, and to cheer for their beloved team," Duan Xuan said.
"Well, we can see that the warm-ups of the players on both sides are about to end, and we have already got the starting list for both sides." He Wei said, "Next, let's take a look at the starting list. First, Manchester United."
Manchester United lineup (4-4-2): 1 - Edwin van der Sar; 6 - Brown, 5 - Ferdinand, 15 - Vidic, 22 - O'Shea; 16 - Carrick, 18 - Scholes, 4 - Hargreaves, 7 - C. Ronaldo; 10 - Rooney, 32 - Tevez.
"The goalkeeper is the Dutch veteran goalkeeper, Edwin van der Sar. He's already 38 years old and his performance this season is still very outstanding."
"For the right back position, Ferguson has chosen the ferocious Wes Brown."
"For the left back position, Ferguson has chosen the Irishman, John O 'Shea," He Wei continued.
"Speaking of O 'Shea, he can be said to be Manchester United's jack of all trades. The fans even joke that he's an all-around star player who has really played in all positions," Duan Xuan interrupted with a smile.
He was right. O 'Shea came out of Manchester United's youth training camp and could be said to have a very' rich 'resume. In 2002-2003, he became famous in the season of the team's left back, right back, and center back, and his performance was good. In the 20042005 season, Ferguson discovered more of O' Shea's playing style. He switched to playing as a defensive midfielder, and in the big game against Arsenal, he received the pass in the second half, cleverly passed the goalkeeper with his left foot, and the ball flew straight to the corner of the net. Later, because of the addition of Carrick, O 'Shea's playing time gradually decreased, and his position was relatively more forward. During this period, O' Shea played as a center midfielder and both wings, and he completed his task very well. In the 20062007 season, Manchester United visited White Hart Lane to play against Tottenham Hotspur. At the end of the game, Manchester United used up their substitution quota, and there was no one available. O 'Shea bravely played as the goalkeeper and successfully blocked the crazy counterattack from Tottenham Hotspur in the last 15 minutes, helping Manchester United beat their opponents by 4: 0. And just in the 20072008 season, in Manchester United's first league match against Reading, Manchester United had no striker available because of Rooney's injury and leaving the field. For the first time, Ferguson sent O 'Shea. He let O' Shea guest play as the center forward. The most amazing thing was that O 'Shea almost scored in the final stage from Fletcher's pass. Unfortunately, the football hit the post.
"The center back combination is the partnership of Ferdinand and Vidic. This pair is also considered the most stable part of Manchester United's rear defensive line, and Ferdinand and Vidic were both selected for the Premier League's best team of the season."
"In the midfield, Ferguson's choice is No. 16 Carrick, the veteran No. 18 Scholes, and No. 4 Hargreaves, the England national footballer who transferred from Bayern Munich to Manchester United. Of course, there is also Manchester United's top star player, No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo!"
"For the front line, Ferguson chose two strikers who are not tall: the England national footballer, Rooney, who is 178cm tall, and the Argentina star player, Tevez, who is 171cm tall."
*****
"Then there is Inter Milan's starting lineup."
"For the goalkeeper, it is the Brazilian goalkeeper, César. With his excellent performance at Inter Milan, César has edged out the goalkeeper of his city rival, AC Milan, Dida, to become the number one goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team."
"For the right back position, Li Ang chose the Inter Milan Team captain, Javier Zanetti. Obviously, in such an intense final, Li Ang chose an experienced veteran and did not choose the more impactful Mai Kong."
"For the left back position, the French star player, Patrice Evra, is the well-deserved starter. Under Li Ang's command, the French star player has grown into one of the best left backs in today's football. He has also become another clear proof of Li Ang's discerning eye."
"The center back combination is the combination of Samuels and Chivu that everyone is very familiar with. This is also the center back combination that Li Ang trusts the most in Inter Milan."
"In the midfield, Juan Carlos is undoubtedly in the starting lineup. There is also the Croatian star player, Luka Modric, the Spanish star player, Juan Mata, and his fellow Spaniard, David Silva. Before the game, when people were discussing Inter Milan's starting lineup, the biggest question was whether Li Ang would choose David Silva or Arshavin to start … Li Ang ultimately chose David Silva. "
"On the front line, it is the partnership of Adriano and Diego Milito. This combination is currently the most feared forward combination in Europe. In the 20072008 Serie A season, Adriano and Diego Milito were tied for the top scorer. This is also the first time in history that two players from a team have won the Serie A Golden Boot together. From this, you can see the terror of Inter Milan's offensive energy."
