In accordance with established practice, the head coaches of both sides announced the roster before the game.
Both teams have very neat lineups, and no players have been suspended, so they played with the strongest lineup.
Inter Milan is the home team tonight, Mourinho took a four three three formation.
The goalkeeper is Cesar, from the left to the right, Qi Wu, Lucio, Samuel and Maicon, the midfielders are Tiago Mota, Cambiasso and Sanetti, the frontcourt It was Pandev, Diego Milito and Eto'o.
It is said to be four, three, three, but in fact, from most of Inter Milan this season, Pandev ’s position should be more backward, and Diego Milito and Eto'o are cruising on two sides. And actively withdraw.
In the counterattack, Milito's tactical role and Eto'o's speed are quite terrible.
This has been played to the fullest in the first round of the elimination of Barcelona in the semifinals.
Real Madrid is the visiting team tonight, and Benitez still takes the four, three and three formation.
The goalkeeper is Casillas, and from the left to the right are Marcelo, Fermalen, Ramos and Avelloa. The midfielder is Mascherano and Xavi Alonso. , Sneijder is centered, the frontcourt is a trident combination of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben.
In the selection of the lineup, Benitez replaced Maxwell with a more aggressive Marcelo. This also represents Real Madrid's attitude to this game tonight, indicating that the team wants to actively seize the offensive.
As for saying that Kaka did not, this is not surprising, because Kaka has been injured for half a year, and his performance after the return is not stable enough. In such an important final, he hastily made him inappropriate.

…………
After a brief UEFA Champions League final ceremony before the game, when the St. Black Cup was slowly raised at the entrance of the players, Real Madrid and Inter Milan players led by the English referee Webber, gradually entered the stadium.
There are nearly two-thirds of Real Madrid fans in the audience, which have an advantage in the momentum, which is also Real Madrid's home advantage tonight.
However, although Inter fans are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they are not far behind in terms of momentum.
Obviously, the matchup on the playing field also extends to the stands.
When Yang Yang walked behind the team, under the leadership of captain Casillas, shaking hands with the referee and the Inter Milan players one by one, he clearly felt the hostility and fighting spirit in the eyes of Inter Milan players.
In the current European football, all team's defensive players are proud to freeze Yang Yang, not to mention in such a crucial final.
Mourinho has always been known for being cautious, as is this game.
In addition to arranging Maicon on the right, he also allowed the Argentine veteran Zanetti, who originally played the right back, to appear in the position of the three backs to the right of the waist. At the same time freeze Yang Yang.
In addition, Eto'o's counterattack in front will also be a real headache for Real Madrid, especially for this side of Marcelo. Real Madrid must pay attention.
However, for these, Yang Yang is also used to it.
After returning to their respective halfs, the two sides opened their positions, Casillas and Zanetti made a guess, Real Madrid lost the right to serve.
...
When the referee Weber whistled, Inter Milan quickly kicked off.
Milito passed the ball to Eto'o and the Cameroonian forward quickly returned to the back line.
Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben quickly rushed forward at the same time, approaching Inter Milan's back line.
Former Real Madrid central defender Samuel went all the way back to chase the ball and grabbed Yang Yang before allocating to the right to Maicon.
Yang Yang changed direction for the first time, chasing toward Mai Kong.
The Brazilian right-back sent the ball to Eto'o in the frontcourt, but as soon as Eto'o got the ball, Real Madrid had already completed the control of the situation around him. Inter Milan tried to pass the ball back to the midfield and was interfered by Sneijder. After a bit, Mascherano steals.
Yang Yang turned his back to the offensive direction in the frontcourt and raised his hand for the ball.
When the ball arrived, he immediately passed back to Marcelo, who was plugged in from the left, and turned around to quickly chase behind McKon.
Marcelo was so energetic that he quickly crossed the ball with a long pass and sent the ball to Yang Yang's direction.
Maicon stayed behind Marcelo, Zanetti followed Yang Yang all the way back, and blocked inside, not giving Yang Yang an opportunity to cut in, but Yang Yang's left foot was very flexible, he caught the ball after catching up, and accelerated to the bottom line. , Forcibly used the speed to throw away Sanetti and crossed the left foot.
In the penalty area, under the interference of Lucio behind him, Ibrahimovic raised his right foot and put Yang Yang's pass to the high ground, trying to pad to the back. Point to Robben.
But at a critical moment, Qi Wu took the lead to clear the ball and resolved Real Madrid's first attack after the opening.
The entire Bernabeu Stadium is also a pity of sigh.
...
"Real Madrid played very firmly after the opening, but Inter Milan's defense is also in place, leaving no flaws for Real Madrid."
"It can be seen that the players of both teams have done their homework before the game, and the state has been adjusted well. From the beginning of the game, they will directly enter the theme. I believe this will be a very exciting matchup."
"Look at this time, it's Real Madrid's attack, or it's still on the left and handed over to Yang Yang."
"Yang Yang took the ball and faced the left and right between Maicon and Zanetti. Sneijder came over and answered."
"Beautiful two pass one, Yang Yang rushed the ball towards the middle ..."
"Zanetti decisive foul, the referee gave Real Madrid a free kick in the frontcourt."
"This time the distance is a bit far, and it is biased towards the left."
"It should be said that Zanetti's foul is very decisive and very experienced. He knows clearly under what circumstances he will not give the opponent a chance. I believe that Mourinho must also focus on the team's foul area before the game. Free kicks are also a very important scoring weapon for Real Madrid. "
"This time the free throw was taken by Marcelo. It seems that Yang Yang also felt unsure and wanted to cooperate."
"Real Madrid took a free kick and at the later point, Qi Wu grabbed the first point."
"The ball was still under Real Madrid's control and was handed over to Xavi Alonso for a long pass to the center of the penalty area to find a center."
"Ibrahimovic and Lucio grabbed the first point, the Brazilian centre-back made a header and came back."
"Sneijder grabs the point, takes it forward, and shoots directly with a long shot."
"Taller!"
"This is the first shot of the two teams tonight, Real Madrid's midfielder Sneijder."
"It took more than three minutes to make a shot. Inter Milan's defense tonight is very tightly arranged, especially in the two ribs and the middle. It can be said that the heavy soldiers are deployed, and Yang Yang and Robben are not given any space.
...
"It's still an attack by Yang Yang."
"Marcelo came up to answer, and then passed it back to Yang Yang ..."
"Yang Yang forced the ball to break through Maikong ..."
"McKong is chasing behind, and the two are competing for speed."
"Yang Yang went into the restricted area, made an emergency stop, then deducted, and crossed to the middle road, there was a chance ..."
"Oh, Ibrahimović fell into Inter Milan's penalty area, and the Swedish center was slightly worse."
"The referee Weber indicated that Samuel's defense did not foul."
"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay. It was indeed a very timely tackle. Samuel and Lucio struck Ibrahimovic one after the other without giving the Swedish center a chance to shoot. . "
"Yang Yang's forcible breakthrough is very beautiful, but unfortunately, Real Madrid's attack is still a little bit worse."
...
"Look at this time, Xavi Alonso split the ball to the right and handed it to Robben."
"Robben aligns on the side of the road, one-on-one, the ball is outstanding, Robben is very fast, throws away Qiwu, dribble the ball into the penalty area, facing Cambiasso, a beautiful bottom cross ... "
"Ball to the middle, Ibrahimovic ..."
"At a critical moment, Lucio blocked Ibrahimovic's shot with his body."
"Real Madrid's offensive this time is very fierce."
"In the first ten minutes, Real Madrid can be said to have the advantage. Inter Milan is very passive. We have seen such scenes in the two rounds of Inter Milan and Barcelona, but the final results of both games are called the National People's Congress. When I fell down, Inter Milan just kept the goal and won. "
"Look at Inter Milan's continued defeat of Real Madrid tonight? Or is the Galaxy Battleship winning the tenth Champions League at home?"
...
The trend of the game is basically consistent with the commentary of the commentator and the guesses of the pre-match critics.
Real Madrid took advantage from the beginning, Inter Milan was passively beaten everywhere.
But just like the two-round match between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the semi-finals, the Nerazzurri relied on a tenacious defense to make the 30-meter area in front of their own goal almost a piece of iron, leaving no space for Real Madrid.
In the ten minutes before the opening, Real Madrid attacked madly and created opportunities one after another.
It wasn't until the fourteenth minute that Inter Milan hit a counterattack, but Diego Milito crossed in the left side of the penalty area, Fermalen headed the ball and did not give Inter Milan a chance to shoot.
The Nerazzurri's first shot took place in the 24th minute. It was Pandev's long shot, which also failed to create a threat, but Real Madrid also failed to shake Inter Milan's defense.
Yang Yang is as active on the left as ever. Even if Maicon and Zanetti join forces, they can't freeze Yang Yang's play. They can only isolate him as much as possible, without giving him the opportunity to face the goal directly. Try to cut off the cooperation between Yang Yang and his teammates.
This style of play was the same as when Inter Milan restricted Messi, and even Mourinho invested more defensive force.
Real Madrid have changed their tactics many times to play on the right, but Luo himself has a few advantages.
With four backs, three midfielders, and a trident that actively returns to the frontcourt, Inter Milan, through this tight defensive posture, has blocked almost any space that may threaten Real Madrid.
Mourinho didn't even bother about the disparity in the ball control rate. He only cares about one thing, that is, whether the team can hold it.
Because he believes that as long as the team can defend, Real Madrid's unstable back line will sooner or later expose the flaws.
And the facts proved that Mourinho was right!
