Secondly, the broadcast scale of this game will also be unprecedented. It is expected that more than 400 broadcast organizations around the world will broadcast and record this game live.

In addition, there are more than 500 media gathered in London, as if today is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it is said that more than [-] million people around the world will watch the game, of which the Far East will contribute at least [-] million people.

The enthusiasm of the Chinese fans is unquestionable. The complete opening of the Chinese market has already made countless European giants drool. Arsenal's profit this season may set a world record.

In terms of sponsorship fees alone, they actually ranked first in the world club rankings. In terms of sponsorship fees alone, they spent a full [-] billion pounds more than Manchester United, which is second in the Premier League.

Song Rentou's energy is terrifying, some people describe him as China's nuclear warhead.

The whole of London is like a festival. The streets of London, where the weather is getting warmer, are already empty. All the Arsenal fans are either in the bar, at the scene, or in the fan square waiting for the start of the game.

Real Madrid has completed a double play against Premier League teams this season. Both Manchester City and Manchester United were eliminated because of them, so the Spanish media are also very much looking forward to Real Madrid, which has an excellent record against English teams this season, can continue to move forward and create records.

Mourinho's Galaxy Fleet has reached the semi-finals in the previous two years, and last year they lost to Bayern Munich only to hate the semi-finals. This season, Real Madrid, which has little hope for the league title, has set its goal in the Champions League. The team is very much looking forward to winning the team's tenth Champions League trophy in the Champions League.

"Huh... I don't know why, I'm so nervous." Sitting on the bus to the Emirates Stadium, Wilshere said.

"Why are you nervous? Anyway, you are on the bench and cheering for us!" Ramsey and Giroud, who 'returned to the team' from injury, will return to the starting lineup in this game, but Wilshere was put on the bench by Wenger , In this game, Jilavoji will partner with Ramsey. This Arsenal rookie will face a powerful team like Real Madrid in his Champions League debut, so he is naturally nervous.

"Damn Aaron!" Wilshere rolled his eyes at his former good friend! MD, when the summer comes, I will also train hard and become the absolute main force next season.

The atmosphere on the Arsenal bus is quite good. King Henry also entered the Arsenal squad for this game. The last time he played with Arsenal in the Champions League was six years ago. Henry is also feeling that the years are not forgiving what.

Arsenal's bus soon arrived at the Emirates Stadium, and they were greeted like never before.

The morale of the Arsenal fans is very high. The team's success in the Premier League gives every Arsenal fan reason to believe that the team will go further in the Champions League this season.

"Captain, how did you not get nervous when you faced Real Madrid for the first time?" the rookie Jilavoji asked curiously.

"I was also very nervous, at that time." Song Rentou looked at Jilawoji and said.

"But you completed a hat-trick against Real Madrid for the first time." Jilavoji began to talk about the various myths circulating in Song Rentou.

Song Rentou couldn't listen anymore, "Listen to me, Jila, everyone will be nervous. When you are nervous, you will keep running and contribute to your teammates. Soon you will be able to integrate into the rhythm of the game. gone."

Jilavoji nodded, "Captain, you are really amazing. Hey, this is the first time I have seen such a big scene."

Regarding Jilavoji starting, but he was on the bench, Wilshere would naturally have some grudges, "Rookie, there is nothing scary about the big scene, let me tell you..."

Seeing Wilshere pretending to be a senior to impart experience to Gila Voji, Song Rentou and the others couldn't help laughing. This guy's real age is actually younger than Gila Voji.

However, in terms of qualifications, Wilshere is indeed Jilavoji's senior.

"I'm glad you're not intimidated by the fact that it's Real Madrid. Yes, they have nothing to fear. I think they should be afraid of us! We've won a lot of games in the new year and tonight's game, We also have to do our best to win." In the locker room, Wenger also said, "Now, let's warm up first, and our tactics will be carried out according to my pre-match arrangement."

The Arsenal players nodded. When they were warming up at the Emirates Stadium, the entire stadium was already full. Both teams had many stars, especially Real Madrid. Real Madrid's games were always full no matter where they went. Because the popularity and box office appeal of this team is really terrible.

The referee who enforced today's game is Higamsson from Norway. The referee has played four Champions League games this season. This is the first time he has enforced the match between Real Madrid and Arsenal.

UEFA chose such a referee to enforce the law, and it must be to avoid the pressure of public opinion on refereeing issues.

Didn't you say that this referee is not good, and that referee is not good?It must be absolutely fair to both parties if I get you a newcomer to enforce the law.

Regarding refereeing, the UEFA Champions League is relatively fair. Of course, misjudgments are inevitable. After all, referees are not athletes.

During the warm-up, Song Rentou exchanged pleasantries with Cristiano Ronaldo, and Pepe also showed off his muscles, "Song, don't even try to score goals today."

Song Ren gave Pepe a white look, and responded, "Which game did I not complete a hat-trick in front of you?"

Pepe blushed, thinking it was true.

After the warm-up of both sides, the starting list is also released one after another.

Arsenal's starting lineup is a standard four-four-two, Giroud and Song Rentou are on the front line, Cazorla and Walcott are on the left and one on the right, and Ramsey's partner Jilavoji is in the midfield.

The defense is still the old combination, Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Sagna and goalkeeper Szczeshny.

Real Madrid's lineup is also very interesting, center Karim Benzema, left winger Cristiano Ronaldo, right winger Gareth Bale, attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil, the two midfielders are Modric and Alonso, the left back is Coentrao, the right back is Aveiroa, the two central defenders Varane partner Pepe, and the goalkeeper is Diego Lopez.

The two symbols of Real Madrid in the past, Iker Casillas and Ramos, both appeared on the bench.

Casillas has a technical reason. As for the technical reason, everyone knows it well, while Ramos has an ankle injury, but Varane is really a great discovery for Real Madrid. The 19-year-old genius central defender Known as the world's No. [-] central defender in the future, he has stable and excellent performances on all fronts.

More importantly, Varane is young.

This is a rare return for Real Madrid's investment in young players.

After all, when playing in Real Madrid, young people are easy to get lost. You are surrounded by superstars. If you don’t have a good attitude and courage to compete, then it is easy to become a cloud without even kicking your upper limit.

How strong is this Real Madrid team?

The British media made a statistic that Real Madrid averaged three goals per game in away games this season.

Away minimum spend.

This season, Real Madrid mainly lost some points that should not have been lost in the league, which led to the league standings being overtaken by Barcelona, ​​not to mention Deportivo. This team has a stable performance in the league. Cheng also lost points, but is currently ranked second.

As long as you lose points in La Liga, the hope of winning the championship is not very great, so Mourinho's focus is obviously on the Champions League.

As the game was about to start, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more heated.

Welcome to the Emirates, this is the slogan of the Emirates Stadium today!
Arsenal is bound to beat Real Madrid head-on at home. The morale of the whole team is high and the state is excellent.

Coupled with the prestige of Song Rentou's record of 34 goals in the Premier League, the betting company only offered a tie before the game. You must know that a tie is very rare in front of the European champion Real Madrid.

Even if Real Madrid's lineup is stronger, football is never just about the lineup!
