At the 90,000-seat Wembley Stadium, Manchester United fans accounted for about half, Inter Milan fans accounted for a third, and the rest are neutral fans or stars, politicians, players' families and so on.

Lu Wenbin's girlfriend Kate and agent Mendes were naturally also on the scene.

After 20 o'clock in the evening, the stadium was almost full.

At 20:45 on the evening of May 28, with the referee's whistle, the 2010/2011 UEFA Champions League final of Inter Milan VS Manchester United was officially held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, to the applause of 90,000 spectators. begin.

Manchester United's lineup is goalkeeper Van der Sar, defenders Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic, and Javra, parallel midfielders Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Park Ji-sung, forwards Rooney and Owen.

Both sides are the main force and the stars are shining, Lu Wenbin continues to play in midfield.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United used the kick-off right to launch a wave of offensive amid the cheering of more than 40,000 Manchester United fans.

After Giggs broke through the wing, Rooney made a cross, and Rooney flew the header. Michael Owen got out from behind Samuel and stabs his foot. However, Samuel’s interference hit the goal wide and caused the stands. The Manchester United fans hugged their heads and sighed.

It would be perfect if the goal was scored in the first wave of offensive.

However, even so, it shocked Inter players and fans.

Giggs, Rooney, and Owen are all superstar figures. This wave of offensive gave Inter Milan a disarming force and forced Inter Milan to avoid its edge and stabilize the defense first.

However, Inter Milan itself is playing a defensive counterattack, not afraid of opponents attacking.

Manchester United continued to attack, trying to use the opening attack to score a goal to seize the opportunity.

Inter Milan contracted the line of defense, defended firmly, and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

In the 7th minute, Carrick almost pierced Inter Milan's defense line with a straight kick. Rooney almost grabbed the ball to form a single shot. Fortunately, Samuel shoveled the ball out of the sideline from the side.

In the 10th minute, Manchester United got the best chance since the opening.

Ferdinand launched an offensive in the backcourt, and Park Ji-sung made a pass from the bottom. Lucio actually lost the top spot in the previous point and Irving’s battle, failed to top the ball, and beat his teammates Samuel and Cesar. Shook a shot.

The ball crossed Lucio and Irving, and fell back to the corner of the penalty area.

Rooney and Maicon rushed to the spot at the same time. Fearing a penalty kick in the penalty area, Maicon hesitated and did not dare to tackle the ball. Instead, Wayne Rooney hit the ball first.

Cesar was at the front point just now, but at this time he has not arrived at the back point. As long as Rooney hits the ball within the frame, it is an empty goal.

The Manchester United fans in the stands have raised their hands and are ready to cheer.

As a result, the ball shot by Rooney didn't even hit the range of the goal frame. Instead, it hit the post and bounced back to the penalty area. Zanetti, who was rushed back to the defense, kicked it into the midfield with a big foot.

Manchester United lost the best chance to score in the opening game. Rooney, annoyed, lay on the ground for a long time and did not get up. One can imagine the depression in his heart.

After this attack, although Manchester United still insisted on mad attack, but never got such a good opportunity again.

Until the 20th minute, Manchester United had not scored a goal, only two shots within the goal frame, but they were not very threatening and were directly confiscated by Cesar.

Inter Milan under the guidance of Mourinho, coupled with the defense of Zanetti, Lucio and other top defenders, it is difficult for any team to play a positional war to tear off Inter's defense.

If you can't attack for a long time, you will naturally be punished. Lu Wenbin and Eto'o's counterattack speed is not vegetarian.

In the 27th minute, Manchester United made a comeback. As a result, Owen himself made a big ball in the frontcourt and was snatched by Lucio, before passing it to Samuel.

Before Rooney came up to grab the ball, Samuel passed a long pass to Sneijder in the midfielder. Sneijder then passed to Lu Wenbin, who was on the wing, and Inter Milan made a quick counterattack.

Seeing Lu Wenbin rushing in from the wing with the ball, the Manchester United fans in the stands made a huge boo, and the Manchester United players quickly returned to defense and blocked Lu Wenbin's path forward.

However, Lu Wenbin did not indulge in his personal performances that break through with speed and dribbling at all. The 17-point judgment attribute allows him to make relatively calm decisions that are conducive to the team's victory.

Individual dribbling and counterattack are too slow.

Lu Wenbin made a long pass to the top of the arc of Manchester United's penalty area before going on to grab it.

The 20/20 pass made Lu Wenbin's long pass very accurate.

Originally Eto'o was behind Ferdinand, but when Lu Wenbin passed the ball, Eto'o had the upper hand in the speed competition with Ferdinand.

Eto'o surpassed Ferdinand and received Lu Wenbin's long pass before Ferdinand, before the rest of Manchester United were back on defense.

Eto'o did not stop the ball, but took advantage of the situation and slid the ball into the penalty area.

Pulled by Ferdinand and blocked by Van der Sar, Eto'o calmly hit a far corner before being dropped by Ferdinand in the penalty area.

However, the ball had passed Van der Sar's palm and flew into the goal against the far post.

In the 27th minute, Lu Wenbin used a precise long pass to assist Eto'o to start the record, and Inter Milan led Manchester United 1-0.

Suddenly, the Inter fans in the stands cheered and screamed, and the neutral audience applauded.

Manchester United, which has been aggressively attacking, did not score. Instead, Inter Milan took the lead with a simple counterattack.

Moreover, Inter Milan had originally fought back and counterattacked. The next game, Manchester United will be even more sad.

Sometimes football is so cruel.
