The Champions League final between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain has begun at the Sporting Martínez Stadium in Lisbon.
Neither Ancelotti nor Blanco lied. The two teams really started a fierce attack using a 433 formation right from the start.
Everyone wants to score first and gain the upper hand.
The starting lineup of Paris Saint-Germain is goalkeeper Duchez, defenders Digne, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, and Van der Wiel, midfielders Matuidi, Lu Wenbin, and Motta, and three forwards Cavani, Ibrahimovic, and Lavezzi.
This is the strongest lineup Paris Saint-Germain can send out.
Real Madrid also has the strongest lineup, with Casillas as the starting goalkeeper, Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Coentrao as defenders, Modric, Khedira and Di Maria as midfielders, and three forwards: Ronaldo, Benzema and Gareth Bale.
Just in the second minute of the game, Real Madrid took advantage of the kick-off to launch an attack, and Benzema finally made the shot by passing the ball to Ronaldo.
The ball went slightly over the crossbar.
In the 5th minute, Lu Wenbin broke through the flank and made a cross. Ibrahimovic completed a shot with a scorpion kick, but unfortunately the power was too small and was caught by Casillas.
Otherwise, it would have been a brilliant scorpion kick goal.
The two sides fought back and forth very frequently, which made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV watch with great fascination.
When all the energy is focused on attacking, the defense is bound to be worse, which can easily lead to goals.
This is what the fans like the most.
Everyone can see that there will definitely be a lot of goals in today's offensive battle between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Sure enough, in the 11th minute, when Modric was about to pass the ball to Di Maria, Lu Wenbin seized the opportunity to intercept the ball, and then passed it to Lavezzi to launch a counterattack.
After Lavezzi made a wall pass with Ibrahimovic on the wing, he made a cross from the bottom. Cavani broke into the penalty area and wanted to head the ball, but Ramos blocked his position and headed the ball out of the penalty area.
But under the threat of Cavani, Ramos had no time to observe the situation and control the landing point of the ball.
So, after he had kicked the ball out, he found that the direction the ball was flying was exactly where Lu Wenbin was rushing towards.
Lu Wenbin got ahead of Pepe and volleyed the ball without stopping at the top of the Real Madrid penalty area. The ball passed through the penalty area like a cannonball and flew into the Real Madrid goal.
Thanks to Lu Wenbin's violent volley, Paris Saint-Germain led Real Madrid 1-0.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of Paris Saint-Germain fans at the scene burst into warm cheers and screams, and Lu Wenbin on the field was surrounded by his teammates for a warm celebration.
Naturally, the Real Madrid stars were unwilling to fall behind and also launched a powerful counterattack.
Although Lu Wenbin is good at both offense and defense, he is unable to split himself and cannot retreat to the back line to help with defense.
So, under the successive attacks of Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Modric and Di Maria, the Paris Saint-Germain defense led by Silva and Matuidi finally collapsed.
In the 17th minute, Gareth Bell broke through the wing and cut inside, taking a long shot from the corner of the penalty area. The ball passed a clear line and was shot into the far goal by Bell.
Thanks to the individual performance of Saint Bale, Real Madrid equalized the score.
Next, the two sides continued to attack each other, and goals were scored one after another, making the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers at the scene and around the world pounding.
Especially the fans of the two teams, their emotions went up and down like a roller coaster, it was extremely exciting.
By the 88th minute of the second half, the two teams had scored a total of 8 goals and the score was 4-4.
This has become the game with the most goals in the history of the Champions League final.
Among them, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lu Wenbin both completed hat tricks, which was also the first time in the history of the Champions League final.
As the absolute core of the two teams, whether Cristiano Ronaldo will lead Real Madrid to win the Champions League for the third consecutive time, or Lu Wenbin will lead Paris Saint-Germain to complete the transformation from a nouveau riche to a wealthy club, time is running out.
On the court, both teams were making their final efforts.
After nearly 90 minutes of offensive battle, both sides were very tired and no one wanted to play overtime.
At this moment, Matuidi intercepted the ball from Di Maria, but Di Maria was knocked to the ground and rolled twice holding his legs.
As a result, the referee did not say anything, just raised his hands to signal that the game should continue. Matuidi did not commit a foul.
The stands were immediately filled with boos from Real Madrid fans mixed with dissatisfaction and panic.
Because Matuidi took advantage of the moment when Real Madrid players thought the referee would blow the whistle and passed the ball to Lu Wenbin, and Lu Wenbin had already rushed forward with the ball.
Although Khedira rushed over at the first moment, he was easily shaken off by Lu Wenbin's spike because he had no help.
Then Lu Wenbin passed the ball diagonally to Cavani, and he bypassed Khedira and moved forward. Cavani passed the ball again: a two-pass combination.
Khedira was chasing closely behind him, but Lu Wenbin didn't stick to the ball at all. After receiving the ball, he passed it to Ibrahimovic in the open space.
Without waiting for the opponents to close in, Ibrahimovic passed the ball to Lu Wenbin's forward route: the second two-on-one combination.
Two two-on-one passes completely broke down the Real Madrid defense, which was stunned because Di Maria fell to the ground and the referee did not blow the whistle.
No one cared about formation or marking. Ramos and Pepe rushed towards Lu Wenbin at the same time, with only one thought in their minds: don't let Lu Wenbin shoot.
The threat posed by Lu Wenbin is too great.
However, Ramos and Pepe's interception gave winger Lavezzi a chance. He broke into the penalty area and ran towards the gap left by Ramos' forward run.
Although the full-back Marcelo was still with him, Marcelo fell behind Lavezzi because he had just participated in the assist and then returned to defense.
Lu Wenbin did not shoot at all. Instead, when Ramos and Pepe were about to block the ball, he passed the ball in front of Lavezzi.
There was only the goal left in front of Lavezzi.
Even Casillas was defending Lu Wenbin's shot in the middle.
By the time he turned over and rushed towards Lavezzi, Lavezzi had already kicked the ball.
All the players and fans in the stadium focused their attention on Lavezzi's shot, including Ramos and Pepe, who turned their heads to look at Lavezzi and even forgot to mark Lu Wenbin.
As a result, although Lavezzi's non-stop shot was extremely powerful, it did not hit the angle. Casillas touched it with his hand, and the ball changed direction and hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area.
Ramos, who was closest, was about to rush forward to clear the ball when a figure suddenly jumped out from beside him, fell to the ground and kicked the ball into the goal.
Before anyone could react, Lu Wenbin shot the ball into the goal, completing a hat-trick and helping Paris Saint-Germain lead Real Madrid 5-4.
A goal scored at this point in time is simply priceless and can be called a decisive blow.
All the Paris Saint-Germain players rushed up, pulled Lu Wenbin, who was running wildly in celebration, to the ground and performed a crazy human pyramid celebration. Even the coaches and substitutes on the sidelines were no exception.
Amid the protests of Real Madrid players, the Paris Saint-Germain players, who had celebrated for more than half a minute, were finally sent back to their own half by the referee to restart the game.
But they had too little time left, and Lu Wenbin retreated to his own half to help with defense. Blanco also replaced Cavani and Lavezzi in succession to increase defensive players and strengthen the defense.
Real Madrid's frantic attack did not result in a goal.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Real Madrid 5-4 at the Estadio de Luz in Lisbon thanks to Lu Wenbin's four goals and one assist, winning the 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League. While completing the season's five-crown feat, they also became the first team in Ligue 1 history to win the European Triple Crown.
With this Champions League title and the title of the first treble-winning team in Ligue 1 history, Paris Saint-Germain can be said to have taken off the hat of a nouveau riche and completed a gorgeous transformation towards becoming a top club.
