This much-anticipated Champions League final has finally begun with the eager anticipation of many fans.
The two teams in this game are both teams that have been in super strong form in the European competition in recent years. Last season, Real Madrid was the quarterfinals of the Champions League, while Inter Milan was the runner-up in the Champions League. This season, the two teams have made a comeback and want to win in the Champions League final. A showdown.
Real Madrid's starting lineup today is very luxurious. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Alonso, Di Maria, Marcelo, Pepe, Benzema and many other top stars are all on the field; and Inter Milan is no less generous, with the Serie A Golden Boot. Adriano, Dutch star Sneijder, Real Madrid rival Eto'o, etc., these stars are also top-notch.
These two teams are definitely worthy of being in the Champions League so far. Although they were firmly beaten by the top teams in their respective leagues, they still showed the performance of a top team in the Champions League.
In addition to the players, the head coaches of both teams also worked hard.
Last season there were rumors that Mourinho would join Real Madrid and replace Pellegrini. Although it did not come true in the end, it still hurt Pellegrini's heart. He was looking forward to using a victory to clear his name. .
And Mourinho is also looking forward to this championship, extremely looking forward to it. After leaving Porto, he has always dreamed of winning the Champions League. He always missed it when he was at Chelsea. Inter Milan also missed it repeatedly. Today is the second consecutive year that they have reached the Champions League final. This time the Portuguese will never allow the Champions League trophy to fall by the wayside.
From the beginning of this game, the two teams showed completely different situations.
Real Madrid attacked with all their strength, and the offensive players in the frontcourt pressed like a tide, making the Inter Milan goal full of dangers.
Inter Milan retreated conservatively, set up a bus, and launched a counterattack. Although the opponent took many shots, there was no absolute good chance.
Mourinho has used this method to kill many strong teams such as Barcelona. Today, facing Real Madrid, he once again used his trump card.
In this game, Inter Milan's defensive players were in excellent condition. Perhaps because they lost the league championship and the Italian Cup, they were more eager for this game. Regardless of Ronaldo's passing or Kaká's attack, none of them could pass through Matt. Lackey and Lucio form a top defensive pairing.
Zanetti and Maicon on the wing also gave top performances, and coupled with midfielder Cambiasso, Inter Milan's defense was impregnable today.
The game has been in Real Madrid's half-court attack training mode. It was not until the 31st minute of the game that the situation changed somewhat.
This time it was a tackle from Zanetti that fell to the ground. Argentinian compatriot Di Maria intercepted the ball. Zanetti did not hesitate and passed the ball directly to Sneijder in the center in front of him.
After Sneijder stopped the ball, he turned around and got out of the way of Alonso who was on the attack. Then he kicked the ball straight and the ball went straight to Adriano!
The King of Meazza begins his show!
Facing the defense of center backs Carvalho and Pepe, Adriano was unceremonious and pushed forward with a domineering straight line!
Two Portuguese men were squeezed away by Adriano!
A powerful shot from the top of the penalty area!
The ball went in!
Casillas just stretched out his hand. There was no way to stop the ball from entering the net. He could only watch the ball rolling in the goal.
1 to 0! Inter Milan leads the score!
This goal gave Inter Milan fans hope of victory!
In front of Mourinho's bus, few people can win even when falling behind!
After scoring a goal, Inter Milan's defense shrank even more, and Real Madrid continued to suppress the offense, but it still had no effect.
And misfortunes never come singly. At the end of the first half, it was Adriano's performance again. He took advantage of a corner kick to beat Ramos and header with great force, helping the team score again!
2 to 0! Inter Milan is closer to the Champions League title!
The first half of the game ended with Inter Milan leading by two goals. After the start of the second half, Real Madrid made substitution adjustments. They replaced veteran Carvalho and replaced him with Higuain. The team became 3-3. -4 formation, with Benzema and Higuain at the center, Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria on the left and right, with Kaká and Alonso behind him.
Pellegrini's desperate move quickly paid off.
In the 57th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a good shooting feel this season, swayed Cambiasso on the penalty area line and shot hard, and the ball hit the dead center!
2 to 1! Real Madrid pulled a goal back!
In the 70th minute of the game, this time it was Kaká who broke through the barrier alone, passed three Inter Milan defenders in a row, and pushed the ball low from the top of the penalty area. The ball went straight into the blind corner!
2 to 2! Real Madrid finally equalized the score!
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were extremely excited. They were eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the team's third goal.
Mourinho also quickly adjusted the lineup, allowing the team to continue to strengthen defense and wait for opportunities to counterattack.
It wasn't until the 88th minute of the game that the score was changed again.
This is another opportunity for Inter Milan to counterattack.
Real Madrid's wonderful cooperation gave Higuain a wonderful ball. Today Alonso's passing accuracy even exceeded Sneijder's.
Unfortunately, Higuain did not seize the chance of a single goal, and his final shot was weak and was blocked by Cesar.
Materazzi made a huge clearance and the ball found Diego Milito.
Milito directly chose to pass the ball, and the ball was inserted at high speed and Adriano received it!
But there are two defenders in front of Adriano, and Pepe is ready to knock him over.
About 25 meters away from the goal, Adriano made a slight adjustment and directly kicked off a powerful shot!
Casillas in front of the goal felt a gust of wind blowing. He just knew that the ball flew to the left. As for the upper corner or the lower corner, he didn't even see clearly. After his body landed on the ground, the ball was already spinning in the net.
With cheers filling the sky, Adriano waved his fists and shouted loudly in the center of the stadium!
In the live broadcast room, Vieri shouted loudly: "He is the most outstanding star of this era! No, he is the king of football of this era! Adriano, the King of Meazza, his hat trick made Inter Milan the champion !”
Although Mourinho was very excited on the sidelines at this time, he still strictly demanded the players on the field - retreat across the board and survive the last two minutes!
In the following time, even Adriano retreated into the penalty area and participated in the defense.
The two minutes of injury time ended, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game was over!
