The highly anticipated Champions League final is about to begin, and the whole world is looking at Rome, Italy.

The peak showdown between Liverpool and Barcelona and the competition between Yang Yang and Messi, the top superstars in the world, not only media reporters and fans around the world were excited, but even major gambling companies have offered odds.

With the reversal of Chelsea and a double defeat to Manchester United, Liverpool returned to the top favorite in the Champions League final.

But what's interesting is that Barcelona is also not inferior. Barcelona, ​​which has won two championships in La Liga and Copa del Rey this season, is also a big hit.

Judging from the odds offered by many bookmakers, including William Hill and Biying, the two teams are exactly the same, and they are really evenly matched. No one can get the advantage of the other side.

In Asia, Liverpool, where Yang Yang is located, is slightly better, which shows Yang Yang's popularity in Asia.

Liberty Bo Company gave the odds of the first goal scorer. Yang Yang is the well-deserved first person. Almost everyone is very optimistic about this super forward who has won the European Golden Boot Award winner for two consecutive seasons, and Messi is closely behind.

...

Unlike bookmakers, celebrities from England and Spain have also appeared in the team.

The current Spanish head coach Bosque wrote a column for the newspaper, saying that he knows Barcelona very well and believes that as long as Guardiola's team can perform normally, he will definitely defeat Liverpool to win.

"I think Guardiola should keep the team tighter and try to avoid excessively pulling away from his wings."

Boske also expressed concern because Liverpool is also the top team in Europe.

"In my eyes, Benitez is a tactical master. He has very unique experience in tactical preparation and on-site command. This is not a good thing for Guardiola, especially note that once Liverpool scores first, it will turn into a disaster."

"I guess that Benitez will definitely not leave Barcelona with too much pass and control space in this game. Although this will definitely sacrifice their attack, it should be noted that they have Yang Yang, a super forward who can destroy the opponent's entire defense line on his own."

Boske's column not only writes about him, but also the speculation and concerns of many others.

Football Emperor Beckenbauer at the invitation of Deutsche News Agency and also mentioned in his pre-Champion League final prediction column that this will be an exciting Champions League final, because both teams represent the top strength in European football in recent years.

"The passionate Liverpool is like Barcelona in artistic ballet, and it is difficult for anyone to guess who will succeed."

Beckenbauer also pointed out that Barcelona's Messi and Liverpool's Yang Yang are both the top superstars in the world football world today, and the competition between them will attract the attention of fans around the world.

"Whoever can lead the team to win the Champions League in a convincing way will become the number one person in the world football in 2009."

Such words from legendary celebrities like Beckenbauer undoubtedly represent a signal.

Those who win the Champions League will win the 2009 World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards.

The afternoon before the final, Barcelona arrived in Rome.

Just after arriving at the hotel, Guardiola accepted an interview with the media under the arrangement of the team.

The Barcelona head coach frankly stated that there are many players in the team's locker room who are participating in the Champions League final for the first time, and it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous, but he still hopes that the players can lose their fear and welcome the game with confidence.

"I want my players to feel good, believe in themselves, and show their best strength in front of the world."

"In any final, there is always only one truth, that is, either win or nothing is. No one will remember how many finals you have reached, and no one will remember who the runner-up is, but people will remember the championship!"

"I hope they can break the tension and fear in their hearts, be brave and fearless, and show the world how great our football is, and that's our only goal to come to Rome."

Guardiola also said that he would never change his football philosophy in order to restrain Liverpool, nor would he change the team's way of playing football. That is not a traditional practice in Barcelona.

"We don't think about how to make changes in the finals because we only play our own way, play our own football, and for us, that's how we win."

Guardiola believes that offense is Barcelona's best weapon, but at the same time it also provoked, hoping that Liverpool can stand up bravely to play against Barcelona like their past games.

"I have seen many Liverpool games, such as they beat Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford, and Chelsea 6-1 at Stamford Bridge. Going forward, they beat Roma 9-0. I'm glad that Roma City will become our home court in the past two days."

"I know that Liverpool is a team with super attack power, but I don't think they will show off their offense in tomorrow's game. They should be more focused on defense because they think this will have a better chance of winning."

"Of course, this is just my personal guess. Maybe Liverpool will take a surprise and proactive approach to the game, which will surprise me, but in any case, it will definitely be a wonderful showdown that satisfy fans all over the world."

...

Barcelona captain Puyol also encouraged his teammates in an interview with the media.

"We all know that it will be a very tough game, but we have a strong team, we have a good defense and better offense and we will try our best to win."

"Each of us is passionate and joy, and tomorrow's game is so exciting that we can't wait."

Messi also accepted an interview with the Argentina Ole, saying that he was ready.

"I feel very calm now, although I know that the game will be particularly intense and difficult."

"This is a collision between two of the world's most outstanding teams, and no one can make any mistakes."

"Yang Yang and we have a good relationship."

"I'm tired of this comparison, because first of all, this is the showdown between Barcelona and Liverpool, and it doesn't depend on individuals. And I admire Yang Yang very much. He is a respectable opponent. I believe that no matter what the final result of the game is, we will sincerely bless the other party."

"I came to Barcelona very early, and I have always felt the overall strength of Barcelona. Here, I began to understand that football does not have perfection. It is always constantly correcting and improving, and this season we have regained our confidence and achieved good results in La Liga and Copa RE."

"I must win this Champions League for Barcelona and complete the triple-winning championship so that I can be worthy of the fans who have accompanied us all the way!"

In the last sentence, Messi said it strongly and resoundingly, showing his determination and attitude.

Liverpool also arrived in Rome that afternoon, but unlike Barcelona, ​​although many Liverpool fans came to greet the team, many Rome fans booed Liverpool.

When I was at the airport, there was even a chaotic situation.

Rome City is also a well-known prevalent place for football hooligans in European football.

For this situation, both Liverpool and Rome municipal governments have been prepared for it.

At least, between Barcelona and Liverpool, they will definitely choose Barcelona because Liverpool has brought them extremely painful memories.

The team's bus slowly left the airport and arrived at the hotel unimpeded by the police car.

Since Liverpool came to Rome to play away games before and was not satisfied with the hotel's facilities, this time after entering the final, the club arranged people to come to Rome to conduct on-site inspections early, and finally chose a hotel that was slightly far from the Olympic Stadium but was even more undisturbed.

Outside the hotel gate, media reporters and fans who came to hear the news were already waiting here. When Liverpool's bus arrived, there was a burst of cheers in the audience. Countless Liverpool fans were singing team songs loudly to cheer for the team.

In the past three days, Liverpool has held a closed training camp at Melwood, with the focus on practicing defense and counterattack tactics against Barcelona, ​​and has not disclosed any information to the outside world.

Today, after coming to Rome, the team also declined all interviews from the outside world, including several close English media, and were not allowed to enter the hotel. Benitez and the players must maintain absolute concentration.

It was in the evening that Liverpool went out again and came to the Olympic Stadium for familiar training, which was also the last training session before the Champions League final.

Many media reporters and fans gathered at the scene, and there were probably many scouts from Barcelona in the stands.

Liverpool has only arranged some regular training, mainly adjustments and warm-ups, and practiced free kick tactics and penalty kicks. This is obviously also the information the coaching staff intends to disclose to the outside world.

The Reds will be determined to defend to the end, and even dragged a penalty against Barcelona.

This is also a response from Benitez to Guardiola's provocation.

The Barcelona coach must be reluctant to let Liverpool push it out and play against the opponent. This is more obvious for Barcelona, ​​which has the rumored advantage of possessing the ball, but Liverpool can only be a lamb to be slaughtered.

Although Benitez did not accept an interview, the arrangement of the training program gave the answer.

Our brains are not funny, and only fools are fighting against you!

Yang Yang has a pretty good mentality, after all, he has experienced many such scenes.

For him now, he has experienced many battles and has experienced several major finals. Although he is still nervous, he has already figured out a way to relieve pressure and will not easily affect the game.

Messi said he will win the Champions League and create a triple-champion for Barcelona.

Yang Yang is also determined to win the Champions League, because this will be the last gift he left to Liverpool, but it is also the most important gift.
