In order to face Chelsea, Real Madrid did not start all the players in the recent La Liga games.

Facing Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid let Marcelo, Ramos and Pepe on the back line play only half the game, and Modric in the midfield also left the field early in the 60th minute.

Only Li Chu was substituted in the 75th minute.

However, this was also his own request. He had only played one game in Real Madrid before. Although it was a big reversal against Atletico Madrid, Li Chu believed that he had not yet adapted to the rhythm of Real Madrid.

He needs more game time to get a feel for it.

Zidane followed Li Chu's advice and substituted him in the 75th minute.

The BBC combination simply did not play, leaving the opportunity to the young players in the team.

A few days later, Real Madrid played against Granada at home, which was still a small team with relatively poor strength.

Facing such a team, Real Madrid naturally did not need to make great efforts.

Li Chu only played for 30 minutes and left the field early to rest.

Time flies, and it's the week of the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea.

The Champions League is divided into eight groups, each with four teams.

Each team plays two home and away games with other teams, with 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and no points for a loss.

The top two teams in the group can advance to the round of 16 and enter the knockout stage.

The knockout stage also uses the home and away system, and the first goal scored away can be simply converted to 1.5.

The two-game knockout system can greatly avoid upsets and allow the stronger team to advance.

However, it is also because of the two-game system that there have been many amazing comebacks in history!

In the 16-17 season, Barcelona swallowed 4 eggs at the home court of Paris Saint-Germain. In the eyes of many people, it is difficult to achieve a comeback even if they return to their home court.

But at Camp Nou, under the leadership of Messi, Suarez and Neymar, they scored 3 goals in less than 10 minutes, Roberto scored the winning goal against Paris Saint-Germain in the 95th minute, 6:1 at home, 6:5 in total, Barcelona achieved a stunning reversal!

The night at Camp Nou made countless people shed tears on the spot!

In the 17-18 season, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Barcelona vs. Roma.

In the first leg at home, Barcelona beat Roma 4:1, which was a sure advantage.

However, when they were away, Barcelona swallowed 3 eggs and suffered a reversal by Roma.

Reversal seems to be a curse.

In the 18/19 season of the following year, in the semi-finals, Barcelona beat Liverpool 3:0 at home, and at Anfield, Liverpool responded 4:0, and Barcelona was reversed again!

Real Madrid vs. Chelsea!

Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City!

Dortmund vs. Arsenal!

A week before the opening game, media from various countries have already started reporting crazily!

The country of beer "Kicker".

"The opening match of this Champions League is very entertaining! Two teams are from our country's league, Bayern Munich and Dortmund. Bayern's opponent is Manchester City, led by Aguero. This team has been very good under Mourinho's training. Their high-pressure defense will definitely cause us trouble, but I believe Bayern Munich will still give fans a satisfactory answer at home! Dortmund's opponent is Arsenal. Although it is the fourth place for a long time, its strength cannot be underestimated..."

"Kicker", as a serious media, actually made a joke about Arsenal.

Arsenal fans suddenly wanted toCry without tears.

Bullfighting country "AS".

"As one of the two giants of La Liga, Real Madrid encountered a tough opponent this time. Chelsea is not a weak team! With world-class midfielder Lampard, they played very well this season. They can always suppress most teams and make them breathless. Real Madrid's midfield is not good at advancing, and now facing Chelsea, it is even more controlled. Fortunately, Real Madrid recently produced a good midfielder, Li Chu from Yan Country. I believe that with his presence, Real Madrid's shortcomings will be compensated to a certain extent."

Other European media also reported one after another, full of expectations for this Champions League.

Fans from various countries also supported their home teams and even quarreled on major forums.

"I will always support my beloved Bayern Munich! Goalkeeper Neuer will not let Aguero score a goal!"

"Stop bragging! With Bayern's defense, how can they stop Aguero! He is an Argentine striker!"

"Whatever you want, I am the Meliá, Real Madrid will win!"

"Do you think I am joking with Chelsea? I am saying this, no team in the Champions League can match Chelsea's midfield!"

"That's too much! Do you think Modric and Alonso are vegetarians? ? What's more, we still have Li Chu! "

"Real Madrid's midfield has old problems, so don't be stubborn! As for Li Chu, can a star really appear in the football desert? I think it's nothing more than that, it's just hyped up!"

"Hyped up? You ate up Li Chu's record in Villarreal, right? He can achieve such results with a weak team, let alone a strong team!"

"..."

The fans of both sides argued endlessly, and soon they changed from supporting their own teams to arguing about Li Chu.

Can Li Chu make up for the shortcomings of Real Madrid's midfield?

EUROSPORT, the most trouble-making TV station in Europe, has specially produced a special program for this Champions League to talk about this opening game.

Host Harris appeared in everyone's field of vision, touching his iconic beard.

"Hey! I'm your old acquaintance Harris. Today we are going to talk about the opening game of the Champions League! Of course, the focus is Li Chu, who has just emerged in Real Madrid! "
