47 Champions League final!

47 Champions League final!

On May 25, 2004, Gelsenkirchen, Germany, proudly went to the Schalke Stadium.

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Portuguese giants Porto, after a season of hard work, the two teams finally meet here. In two hours, the 2003-2004 UEFA Champions League final will be held in Pride Schalke Stadium announced the start.

Outside of the Aofu Schalke Stadium, fans of the two teams and neutral fans have already come here, which also made a good profit for Schalke 04, the owner of the Aofu Schalke Stadium. They arranged a variety of German special snacks, beer, and various interactive entertainment, including PSP, PS, and various penalty game consoles, etc...

Because there are still two hours to start, many fans have not yet chosen to enter the stadium. They are enjoying themselves in the facilities outside the stadium, and neutral fans who do not have tickets will either choose to buy from the scalpers. Try to get a ticket or two, or just watch the game on the big screen outside the stadium.

Many Bayern fans rushed over from Munich, and these Bayern fans without tickets will definitely choose to watch the game on the big screen outside the stadium.

There are also many media from all over the world. At this time, everyone is killing time at the entertainment facilities outside the Schalke Stadium or various food stalls.

At 6:30 in the afternoon, the bus carrying the Porto team arrived at the Schalke Stadium first.

And five minutes later, when the bus carrying the Bayern team arrived at the Schalke Stadium, the entire outside of the Schalke Stadium reached the climax of the atmosphere!

"There are so many fans, Leon." On the bus, Pizarro, who opened the window, shook hands with the fans. It was obvious that Pizarro, the Andean bomber, enjoyed this feeling very much.

Leon smiled. He was also looking at the Bayern fans outside the window. Tonight's battle must be won.

"Is this the Champions League final?" Feeling the atmosphere of the final, the blood in the bones of every Bayern player was unknowingly hot.

"Bayern! Bayern! Bayern! Bayern!" When the Bayern players got off the bus one by one, thousands of Bayern fans greeted them with applause and cheers, and all the Bayern players stood side by side. Enjoying the applause and cheers of the fans, they stepped into the Schalke Stadium.

Every Bayern player is familiar with this stadium, because they visit here twice a year. This is the home court of the Bundesliga team Schalke 04. I just don't know who will be the blessed land of Porto or Bayern tonight.

Seventeen years ago, Porto defeated Bayern and won the first UEFA Champions League trophy in team history. Seventeen years later, Bayern and Porto met again in the final. Seventeen years ago, it was after Maradona led Argentina to win the World Cup , Porto won the Champions League, seventeen years later, more than a year after Lionwell led Argentina to win the World Cup in 2002, Porto and Bayern met in the final.

...

Proudly going to the Schalke Stadium, the fans have already started to enter the stadium. On the stadium, the players of the two teams are doing warm-up before the game. Bayern here made a funny monkey that many fans have played around Leon, that is, a group of people Around the pass, arrange several people to grab it. If anyone makes a mistake, he will be a monkey.

The Bayern players had a great time, and they are in a very relaxed state today.

Porto, on the other hand, is doing various training such as passing and circling in an orderly manner. All Porto players have serious expressions.

A French cameraman even couldn't help feeling: "Bayern's performance is more like a team, while Porto is like an army..."

Rigorous Porto and relaxed Bayern, who will have the last laugh?

After the short pre-match warm-up, players from both sides were "rushed back" to the locker room by the referee. At this time, there was still 30 minutes before the start of the much-anticipated Champions League final.

The starting rosters of the two teams are also released.

For Bayern, today's starting goalkeeper is Lion King Kahn, the left back is teenager Lyle, the right back is French international Sagnol, the two central defenders are Demichelis and Roberto Kovac, and the midfielder partner It's Lionwell and Hargreaves, left midfielder Schweinsteiger, right midfielder Salihamidzic, and two forwards are Pizarro and Roy Mackay.

It is estimated that any fan who pays attention to Bayern can memorize Bayern's starting lineup fluently. This lineup can already be described as "nothing new".

As for Bayern's opponent today, Porto's starting lineup is old goalkeeper Baya, left back Valente, and right back Paulo Ferreira is one of the better right backs in this era. Leila is the number one right back in Portugal, and he is definitely one of the best in Europe.

The two central defenders are Carvalho and Jorge Costa, midfielder Costinha, midfielder Deco, Maniche and Mendes, well, this Mendes is definitely not Leon's big agent Hao Jorge Mendes.

You must know that Mendes in the previous life was Mourinho's surprise soldier in the final. Mendes is a player who runs very aggressively and defends very sharply. Mendes, Maniche, Deco, Costiani... …The four major midfielders, if Deco is willing, he can be used as a defensive midfielder. Mourinho is a big bus tactic!

On the front line, Alenichev was the hero who won the UEFA Cup last year for Porto. This is different from the starting lineup of Porto in the previous life that Leon knew. Maybe it is because Bayern's style is different from Monaco's.

Alenichev's striker partner today is the Brazilian Delle, who is known as the homeless man on the field. Goals, he is currently ranked second in the Champions League scorer list with seven goals...

As for the No. 1 scorer in the Champions League this year, speaking of it, Leon also set a record, because he participated in the Champions League game is the least among the top ten scorers, because he was suspended for eight games, but he had a hat-trick And one big four, so Leon also ranked first in the Champions League scorer list with eight goals.

And if Bayern finally wins the championship, and Leon's goal in the final beats Dellei, then Leon will also set a record and become the first player to win the top scorer as a midfielder after the restructuring of the Champions League!

Oh, wait, we can look at the statistics before the Champions League restructuring...that is, none of the top scorers in the Champions League were midfielders, that is, if Leon won the top scorer, then he would break the This record has become the first person, and at his current twenty years old, maybe he will keep this record for a long, long, long time...

This season, Leon has 15 goals and 24 assists in the Bundesliga. Except for Lampard and Gerrard in their peak years, the world can score twice as a midfielder or central midfielder. There are definitely not many players with ten balls!

Leon is setting new records one after another.

...

In the dressing room of Porto and Bayern, when Heathfield and Mourinho got their opponents' starting lists, they all smiled at the same time, because this starting list did not exceed people's expectations.

The arrangement before the game has already been discussed in the team preparation meeting, so in the last 30 minutes, Heathfield and Mourinho did more of the ideological work of the players.

The so-called ideological work is a way to boost the morale of the players. This is like fighting in ancient times. The coaches of both sides have to give speeches to boost morale before the battle.

Proud to go to the Schalke Stadium, one of the venues for the World Cup two years later, is already full at this moment. Porto and Bayern fans sit on one side, while neutral fans just form a separation zone in the middle.

Although there are not as many football hooligans in Germany and Portugal as in England, this practice of neutral fans sitting in the middle and fans of the two teams sitting separately can indeed prevent the "tragedy" from happening in Chengdu to the greatest extent.

After all, although football brings people a lot of happiness and joy, it also has a lot of pain. Sometimes, a pain can make a person unforgettable for a lifetime.

Thirty minutes passed quickly, and today the French referee Larry Ryan led the players of the two teams onto the Schalke Stadium, and the entire Schalke Stadium began to burst...

UEFA has forgotten one thing, that is, this is still the home stadium of the Germans, and most of the 30% of the tickets they sell have flowed into the hands of Bayern fans! So at this moment, Bayern fans completely dominate the entire stadium!

The staff on the sidelines were taken aback, because the instrument used to measure decibels in his hand had broken through 120 decibels at this moment!

The fans of Bayern Munich sang the team anthem of the Southern Star, and in the stands where the Bayern fans were, a huge No. 25 jersey was hung high...

All Bayern fans are enjoying this moment.

"My God..." Many media present were startled, they felt that the Schalke stadium was exploding!

German Chancellor Schröder, F1 car king Schumacher, football emperor Beckenbauer... one after another German celebrities stood up in the stands to applaud Bayern.

This is Lionwell's box office appeal. In the Far East and East Asia, there will be more than 300 million fans watching the Champions League final through various means.

Leon's influence in Japan is beyond doubt, and he also has a large number of fans in China...

UEFA President Johansson and FIFA President Blatter and FIFA Vice President Grondona are also sitting in the VIP box talking at this time. For Grondona, he never thought about it. This "little son" of himself will become the idol he is today.

Pizarro excitedly hugged Leon's shoulders. After the group photo of the two teams ended, the captains of both teams went up to pick sides. At this time, almost all the camera lenses were aimed at Leonwell.

"Sky Italy TV... Welcome to the UEFA Champions League final of the 0304 season. The two sides are Bayern Munich and Porto. I am very happy..."

"Arab Al Jazeera, what we are broadcasting live for you now is the UEFA Champions League final of the 200304 season. This final is between Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich and Portuguese Super League champion Porto..."

"Sky England, welcome to the commentary brought by Gary and Martin Taylor. It's a pleasure to see you again on the weekend. The live broadcast we bring to you today is the last highlight of the club competition this season. The final , the Champions League final, the two sides are the magnificent Bayern in the knockout round and the stable and low-key Porto in the knockout round!"

"French national television..."

"Portuguese Satellite TV..."

"German Satellite Television, welcome to the UEFA Champions League final brought to you by the commentator Derek. The guest we invited today is the former Bayern legend striker Gerd Müller! Mr. Müller, what do you think of this game by Bayern in the final against Porto?"

"Obviously, the current Bayern Munich team has changed a lot compared to our time. Someone once asked me who is better, Beckenbauer or Lionwell, and I answered him at the time, In terms of Leon's current qualifications, he is not qualified to compare with Beckenbauer. But I think, maybe on the day Leon retires, history will give him a fair answer. As for this final, I am more optimistic about Bayern. Although Porto has defeated many powerful enemies along the way, Bayern will have more experience in the final than their opponents. Leon and Kahn have participated in the 2002 World Cup finals in Korea and Japan, and they have enough experience in major competitions. In such an important game, I think experience will play a key role." In the past, the bomber Gerd Müller and the football emperor Beckenbauer swept the world together.

Today, Lionwell also led Bayern to sweep Europa with a Peruvian striker nicknamed the Andes Bomber.

Wang Bayern finally ushered in their most important game of the season!

Champions League final!
