After Real Madrid won the 2011/2012 La Liga championship with a record 104 points and an unbeaten season in the top five leagues, the club and fans held a grand celebration ceremony.
After the celebration, Mourinho gave the team two days off and conducted a day of recovery training on the 16th.
After two days of coverage of Real Madrid's unbeaten season and record-breaking 104 points, the global media turned their attention to the Champions League.
This season's Champions League final will be a European derby, with the galacticos Real Madrid facing off against the Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich, known as the Hollywood of football.
One is the invincible galactic battleship, the other is the star-studded Hollywood of football. Which of the two teams will win in the end
Can Real Madrid achieve a historic breakthrough, win the tenth Champions League in the club's history, and become the only team in the Champions League to win more than ten titles
Can Lu Wenbin continue to win the championship as long as he participates in the competition, and win the Champions League representing three different teams
Before Lu Wenbin, Seedorf was the only player in European football who had won the Champions League with three different teams (Ajax in 1995, Real Madrid in 1998, AC Milan in 2005 and 2007).
If Real Madrid wins the final, Lu Wenbin will become one of the superstars, along with Seedorf, who has won the Champions League for three different teams.
There is also suspense about the Champions League total goal rankings.
If Lu Wenbin scores twice in this final, he will tie Raul's Champions League goal record of 71 goals.
If Lu Wenbin performs a hat trick, he will surpass Raul and become the top scorer in the history of the Champions League.
The two top teams in European football, the most famous teams and stars, gathered in this season's Champions League final, making this final hotly discussed by the global media even before the game started. It is estimated that the number of fans around the world watching the live broadcast will exceed one billion (China can contribute at least 200 to 300 million, even in the middle of the night).
On May 17, the entire Real Madrid team boarded a plane to Munich, Germany, arriving at the final venue two days in advance and began pre-match training at the training base of Bayern Munich's city rivals 1860 Munich.
One disadvantage for Real Madrid is that in the 2011/2012 Champions League final, Real Madrid's opponent is Bayern Munich, and the final will be held at Bayern Munich's home stadium, the Allianz Arena.
This was the venue for the 2012 Champions League final that was decided three years ago, and it will not change just because Bayern has reached the final.
Bayern Munich was able to make it through this season, defeating various European giants including Barcelona and advancing to the final. They must have wanted to win the Champions League trophy at home.
In order to win the Champions League, they even lost the Bundesliga title, which was taken away by Dortmund.
In this Champions League final, Real Madrid is playing away from home. In terms of familiarity with the venue and audience atmosphere, Real Madrid is naturally at a disadvantage.
However, Real Madrid has maintained a winning record in this season's Champions League, both at home and away.
Therefore, Mourinho expressed confidence in the pre-match press conference:
"No matter where the final is held, Real Madrid will use its overwhelming offensive to dismantle the opponent's defense and win the final Champions League trophy!"
Bayern coach Heynckes said:
"Bayern has been preparing for the Champions League final at home all season. No matter who the opponent is, Bayern Munich will beat the opponent and win the championship!"
Players and fans from both sides also expressed their confidence in their teams when interviewed.
Regarding the super pervert Lu Wenbin in Real Madrid, Bayern Munich's defensive midfielder Gustavo stood up and said:
"Lu Wenbin and I have been teammates in Hoffenheim for three years. I am very familiar with Lu Wenbin! The head coach has assigned me the task of closely guarding Lu Wenbin. I know how to deal with him!"
That's right, with his great success in Hoffenheim, Gustavo has transferred to Bayern Munich.
In this Champions League final, Gustavo and Boateng were responsible for closely guarding Lu Wenbin, with Gustavo being the main one.
Regarding the remarks made by his old teammate Gustavo, Lu Wenbin said that what Gustavo was familiar with was himself when he was in Hoffenheim.
As for Lu Wenbin after he transferred to Inter Milan and Real Madrid, Gustavo didn't know him.
He would show his old friend Gustavo how fast he was improving.
On the afternoon of May 18, die-hard fans from all over the world who were unable to buy tickets began to flock to the Allianz Arena and set up camp in advantageous positions.
At noon on May 19, after lunch, fans and local citizens from all over the country staying in major hotels in Munich began to flock to the Allianz Arena.
In the evening, the stadium opened for ticket checking, and tens of thousands of fans entered with scarves, flags, gongs, drums and trumpets.
Of course, many of these items are prohibited items, and fans use various special means to bring them into the stadium, and they cannot pass security checks.
Before the game started, the Allianz Arena held a short artistic performance, followed by the entry of the Champions League flag and the flags of both teams, the players of both teams entered the stadium, the Champions League theme song played, handshakes, group photos and side selections.
Real Madrid's starting lineup is 4231, with goalkeeper Casillas, defenders Ramos, Carvalho, Pepe, Marcelo, midfielders Khedira, Xabi Alonso, midfielders Cristiano Ronaldo, Lu Wenbin, Ozil, and forward Benzema.
Bayern Munich's starting lineup is also 4231, with goalkeeper Neuer, defenders Lahm, Van Buyten, Boateng, Contento, midfielders Gustavo, Schweinsteiger, midfielders Robben, Kroos, Ribery, and forward Thomas Muller.
Both teams are star-studded and full of superstars, worthy of the title of Champions League final and European derby.
At 20:45 on the evening of May 19th local time, under the gaze of billions of fans on the scene and around the world, with the referee's whistle, the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League final kicked off at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. The two teams were Real Madrid VS Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid got the right to kick off.
As soon as the game started, old friend Gustavo really stuck to Lu Wenbin and actually stuck to him.
After three years of being teammates, training and competing together, Gustavo is indeed familiar with some of Lu Wenbin's habitual running positions and movements that are like physical reflexes.
In the 3rd minute, Lu Wenbin received a pass from Khedira and tried to break through Gustavo, but Gustavo tackled the ball away without committing a foul.
In the 8th minute, Ozil's aerial pass was seized by Gustavo and headed out of the penalty area. Lu Wenbin failed to occupy a favorable position to grab the first point.
In the 12th minute, Lu Wenbin took the ball and broke through Schweinsteiger and was about to pass it diagonally to Ronaldo, but Gustavo anticipated it and rushed over from the diagonal and tackled the ball away.
For a moment, Gustavo stole the show, drawing applause from Bayern fans and praise from the commentators.
