"Atletico Madrid's starting lineup is out!"

On May 5, before the start of the Champions League final, the players finished their pre-match preparations and returned to the locker room to wait for the curtain to kick off. The 24 players from both sides were finally revealed.

The Sheets adopted a four-four-two formation, with goalkeeper Courtois.

The four defenders are Juanfran, Miranda, Godin and Felipe.

The four midfielders are Raul Garcia, Thiago, Gabi and Koke.

Strikers Diego Costa and Villa.

"They still put Diego Costa on." Ancelotti couldn't help but sighed: "This is definitely a foolish move."

"I just observed that the Brazilian did not train with other teammates, but adapted to the field with the team doctor and assistant coach alone."

"This shows that his injury still has a great impact, and Atletico Madrid has no confidence in whether they can play the entire game. After all, according to the team's tactics, Costa needs to undertake a lot of sprinting and confrontation tasks."

"Once there is a problem, the Sheets will have to waste a substitution. In the second half, when the physical energy is exhausted, it will not be able to make more effective adjustments."

Zidane agreed, but he also understood Simeone's helplessness: "Just as we can't abandon Wang Feng to formulate game tactics, Simeone can't abandon Diego Costa either."

"Even if there is only a slight possibility, he still hopes that the other party will play a role, but I think he must have an alternative plan in mind."

"You're right, anyway, we follow the established thinking, exhaust the opponent with all our strength in the first half, and defeat the enemy with one blow in the second half!"

Real Madrid's four-three-three formation, goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

Back four Ramos, Carvajal, Arbeloa and Coentrao.韾

Three midfielders Modric, Khedira and Isco.

Three strikers Wang Feng, Higuain and Morata.

Ancelotti deliberately hid Marcelo and Bell in order to give the opponent a fatal blow in the second half. The two forwards and impact abilities are very good. Relying on sufficient physical fitness, they can definitely turn Atletico Madrid's defense upside down.

.........

Atletico Madrid took the lead in the first half of the game. Villa and Costa stood in the middle circle. The Spaniard stepped on the ball and waited for the referee's whistle.

He looked at his teammates who were twisting and warming up in front of him silently making the sign of the cross and praying, hoping that Costa could join hands with them to fight through the whole game and win the championship trophy that has fascinated countless players!

When the referee Dutch Bjorn Kuipers blew the battle horn, Villa quickly kicked the ball to Costa, who then passed it to the backcourt.韾

Soon the Sheets organized and advanced to the frontcourt. Before a good chance to shoot was formed, Coentrao took the opportunity to tackle and steal, and pushed the ball to Modric.

Sure enough, as expected by the head coach, Atletico Madrid immediately chose to fight back on the spot, and the two players surrounded them hand in hand.

The Croatian responded calmly, dunking Raul Garcia and crossing Khedira. Ancelotti's tactic was to fully mobilize the opponent's running position and fight a war of attrition with them.

The midfield competition between the two sides was very fierce, and the offensive and defensive transitions and running were so frequent that no effective shots were formed in the past 10 minutes.

During this period, Costa experienced no less than five sprints and sudden stops, and he felt that his leg muscles were twitching.

Approaching Arbeloa again, the Brazilian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his thigh during the fierce confrontation. When he fell suddenly, he also brought down the Real Madrid defender.

"Beep!" Kuipers whistled and Atletico fouled.韾

Arbeloa got up helplessly, put the ball at the foul point and waited for Costa to get up before taking the penalty, but the opponent tried to stand up with his hands twice without success.

"Are you okay?" The Spanish defender noticed that Costa was sweating profusely and immediately called the referee to check the situation, and other Atletico Madrid players also surrounded him.

"I might not be able to hold on anymore!" said the Brazilian with a sad face, and now he even has difficulty standing up.

In the end, with the help of the team doctor's stretcher, Costa was carried out of the stadium and sent to the hospital for treatment. Simeone replaced him with Adrian.

At this time, the game has only started 9 minutes. This is the earliest substitution in the history of the Champions League final.

Simeone still lost the bet!

Despite being extremely depressed, the Argentine coach still calmed down, took advantage of the timeout of the game to call the players over, and asked them to continue to implement the formulated tactics.韾

He knew that he couldn't show the slightest bit of loss and panic on his face. Instead, he had to be calm and calm, otherwise it would seriously affect the state of the players on the field.

Restarting the contest, Atletico Madrid really suppressed the fluctuations in their hearts to the minimum, firmly implemented the previous arrangement, chasing and biting Real Madrid like a vicious dog.

In the 13th minute, they took the lead in completing the shot. Raul Garcia tried a super far world wave in the right rib area, and the ball went above the crossbar.

Afterwards, the two sides continued to have friction due to confrontation. The referee Kuipers himself was soft in law enforcement. In addition, it was inconvenient to punish easily in the Champions League final and often gave priority to verbal warnings, so the situation became more and more tense.

Especially in a quick counterattack by Real Madrid, Raul Garcia made a tactical foul and flew to uproot Isco.

Kuipers only showed Garcia a yellow card, Ramos immediately stepped forward to ask for an explanation, his tone was extremely agitated, and he was also warned by a yellow card.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Feng quickly pulled back the Spanish defender. If he clashed with the referee at this time and was kicked off the field, the loss would not be worth the loss.韾

Next, the two teams each had a chance. The Chinese superstar shot a long shot from 25 meters in front of the goal. The ball bounced near the small penalty area, but Courtois hugged it firmly.

Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran advanced along the wing at high speed to participate in the attack, and made a pass near the penalty area. Ramos made a header to clear the siege, and Felipe's supplementary shot from the outside was blocked by Arbeloa.

Then Thiago made a mistake in the backcourt. Morata broke into the penalty area with a steal. He shot with his left foot 12 meters in front of the goal and missed the post. This was the best chance for the Galaxy Battleship in the first half.

Both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have produced a lot of consumption. As the halftime draws to a close, the physical fitness of the players will inevitably decline, and the pace of the game will gradually slow down.

Just when the Galaxy Battleship thought it was about to complete the task assigned by the head coach and relaxed a little, the Sheets Corps dealt them a fatal blow.

In the 42nd minute, Gabi took a corner kick from the right. Ramos grabbed the first point to make a clearance, but failed to protect the second point. Juanfran pushed back to the penalty area.

Iker Casillas was so hot-headed that he chose to attack and wanted to pick off the ball, but his position was a bit far away. Godin took the lead and jumped high, diving and heading the ball past the Spanish goalkeeper.韾

Stunned, St. Casey tried to turn around to save him, but it was too late, and the ball bounced into the right side of the gate.

"The goal is scored! Atletico Madrid took advantage of a corner kick to break the deadlock first!"

"It's unbelievable. Casillas has made a deviation in his judgment and handling of the ball. He shouldn't choose to attack at this time."

"Not only is the distance far, but there are also defensive players between him and the landing point. Even if he grabs it, it is difficult to hold the ball securely."

"I originally thought that the Sheets would fall into a disadvantage after losing Diego Costa, but I didn't expect them to take the lead first. This is not easy for the Galaxy Battleship."
