"Good evening, everyone, the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League final is held today at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany!
The defending champion Liverpool reached the final again this year, and their opponent is Barcelona from Spain!
The two teams have performed strongly in the Champions League this season. Both teams have eliminated champion teams from other leagues on their way to promotion. It can be said that reaching the final is well deserved!
It is worth mentioning that if Liverpool wins the championship today, Situ Yunbing will become the first coach to win the Champions League four times!
The halos and honors of the Liverpool coach are countless, and now whenever he wins a new championship, it will be a continuation of the legendary epic!

After seeing the starting lineups of the two teams, I believe everyone feels that this Champions League final is really full of stars!
This is the true peak duel!
Gossip aside, the pre-match kick-off ceremony has been completed. After taking a group photo before the game, the two teams opened up on the court and are ready to kick-off at any time!
Barcelona will be the first to launch the offensive. "
Both Enrique and Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle. There was a strong contrast in the postures of the two coaches. Enrique was serious with a bit of nervousness, but Situ Yunbing was calm and his eyes were bright. Very excited!
With the referee's whistle, Barcelona kicked off first!
After Messi knocked the ball back to the backcourt, Liverpool's striker immediately pressed forward and countered!
Rakitic passed the ball obliquely from the center of the backcourt to Alves, who changed the direction of the ball to avoid Coutinho's press and immediately sent a direct pass.
Messi saw Kanter coming to block his inward line during the response, but failed to seduce Kanter to the sidewalk after trying to speed up the outside line, Messi decisively stopped the ball and retreated, and after shaking out Hit the ball sideways.
Iniesta stopped the ball in the middle and then faked and changed to get rid of Eriksson's counter-grab. When he moved the ball forward, he attracted Casemiro's frontal defense. In this way, the containment effect was changed. He passed the ball obliquely The left-hand area in front of the restricted area.
Brazilian emperor Neymar made a fast inside cut and made consecutive stoppages to the left side of the penalty area, but when Azpilicueta returned to the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and smashed the ball and changed direction. After crossing with Azpilicueta Then change direction and enter the penalty area from the outside!
The skills of these offensive players in Barcelona are very delicate. Even Liverpool, if they can't compress the space and adopt a zone defense, then it will be difficult to limit the opponent!
When Neymar slammed the ball into the penalty area and moved towards the bottom line to bring out the advantage of offensive depth, the new generation of Brazilian kings decisively knocked the ball across the front of the goal.
In the first year of coming to Barcelona, Neymar was obviously a green leaf role, creating more opportunities for Suarez and Messi in the game.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with playing like this, on the contrary, it makes the whole team very harmonious!
This time the pass put Liverpool in danger in front of the goal!
Suarez quickly followed up in the middle, and Van Dijk and Coulibaly were unable to block it. Van Dijk was afraid of making an own goal with a clearance. Overlooking his frontal shot angle, Suarez lightly picked the ball to the far corner of the goal, Ter Stegen subconsciously raised his hand but just blocked the ball!
Suarez hugged his head and sighed, but the Barcelona fans in the stands rejoiced in vain!
"Suarez almost scored against Liverpool's goal!
OMG!
Ter Stegen's timely block prevented Liverpool from losing the ball shortly after the opening! "
Enrique couldn't help but jumped on the spot.
If this goal is scored, it means that Barcelona is playing the Champions League final with a 1:0 advantage!
He immediately clapped his hands and continued to cheer for the team.
At the same time, he raised his chin slightly.
The entire football world regards Situ Yunbing as the benchmark of contemporary coaches, and everyone else can only look up to him!
I don't know if the Barcelona presented in front of Situ Yunbing today will make him palpitate and make him panic!
Situ Yunbing looked as usual, and he didn't even twitch his eyelids. So what if he lost the ball?
Withstand the wind and surf the big waves!
Throwing a ball is nothing more than light wind and drizzle, how could it shake his mind?
Barcelona probably thought that their first wave of offense was completed, so they wanted to take advantage of the situation to press up and play the pass-control press they are good at.
But the next trend of the game caught Barcelona by surprise!
In the 3rd minute of the game, Robertson held the ball forward from the left side of the backcourt. Messi immediately stepped forward to counterattack, and Robertson passed the ball straight ahead.
Coutinho, who was responding on the center line, knew that Alves was not far behind. At the same time, Iniesta also rushed towards him to try to encircle him!
Barcelona's zone defense is also very good.
But Coutinho did not make any adjustments when responding with his back, and directly kicked the ball to the right on the other side with a half-high pass!
Barcelona's joint defense encirclement and suppression was instantly shattered.
Neymar originally thought that this defense had nothing to do with him, but when Coutinho's pass flew in quickly, he suddenly became alert!
Azpilicueta sprinted right past him, padding the ball forward before it flew off the touchline.
Coutinho and Azpilicueta's diagonal direct pass connection this time was very successful!
When Gareth Bell was responding on the right side of the frontcourt, Rakitic and Alba rushed towards him quickly. Alba blocked Gareth Bell's inward line, and Rakitic was mainly responsible for pressing.
However, Gareth Bell made an emergency stop and pulled the ball back while waving the ball forward. After dodging Rakitic's press, he suddenly waded the ball across and killed it into the middle.
Busquets immediately rushed up to try to steal, even if the steal failed, the foul was fine.
Gareth Bell took the ball first and sent it over the top!
With Alves staring at Coutinho, Pique on Lewandowski and Mascherano on top ready to make a second interception on Gareth Bale, Gareth - Bell's foot went straight through the top and directly lobbed the ball into the left rib of the penalty area!
And the player who moved forward quickly on Liverpool's side was Eriksson!
Enrique's heart tightened suddenly!
The line of defense has been pierced!
After Eriksson moved forward, facing the falling football, he lightly used the arch of his left foot to pad towards the middle of the goal.
Pique blocked the ball with his thigh in the middle of running to block it!
After refraction, the football flew out of the bottom line against the outside of the left post of the Barcelona goal!
Goalkeeper Bravo broke out in a cold sweat!
Pique himself did not look relaxed.
"Pique almost scored an own goal! After Barcelona threatened Liverpool, Liverpool quickly responded. This time the team's offensive from the backcourt was very fast from advancement to transfer, and it was a long-distance connection!
If Barcelona is delicate, then Liverpool's offensive style looks grand! "
Enrique calmed down a bit.
But soon, he couldn't calm down anymore!
Liverpool took a tactical corner kick, Robertson assisted Eriksson's return pass, and then transferred the ball to the center. Casemiro quickly advanced and completed a volley in the front right of the penalty area!
Mascherano blocked the ball with his body 3 meters away!
The bouncing football was about to be controlled by Suarez near the middle circle, Coulibaly suddenly slammed out from the side and kicked the ball forward with a shovel.
After Kanter took possession of the ball, he quickly passed the ball diagonally to the side. Robertson took the ball to observe the situation, and then decided to cut the ball himself!
Enrique carefully observed the situation on the field, Liverpool almost overwhelmed the whole team at half time!
The empty backcourt is definitely the perfect stage for Barcelona to counterattack quickly!
However, in contrast, Barcelona's backcourt defense pressure is too great!
Liverpool's offensive is overwhelming and majestic!
After Robertson cut the ball inside, when Busquets rushed to defend, he passed the ball and hoisted it to the right rib of the penalty area!
Pique immediately turned his head and looked far away from the penalty area, and what caught his eyes was Gareth Bale's shocking and powerful inward cut!
Alba and Mascherano rush to flank him, but it is obvious that this kind of competition for position plus high-altitude ball competition, how can the two small men of Barcelona be Gareth Bale's opponent?
In addition, this is in the penalty area, if one is not careful, the opponent will be given a penalty!
When Gareth Bale took the lead in the right rib area of the penalty area and jumped high and shook his head to ferry, Pique followed by Lewandowski, but in the confrontation, he rushed to the middle area in front of the goal to receive a header. !
Pique's position is not good, it can only interfere with Lewandowski!
Bravo abandoned the goal and opened his arms to try to block!
Lewandowski's header was a bit reluctant under Pique's interference, but the football bounced directly on Bravo's face!
