Ukraine, Kyiv, Olympic National Stadium.

Liverpool and Arsenal starters Yingzi walked into the stadium with a thrilling hand.

The momentum on the scene increased a little more!

Amid the deafening noise, the pre-Champions League final kick-off ceremony was presented to all the audience!

"Good evening for all the spectators! Welcome everyone to follow the camera to the Olympic National Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine!

The final of the 2017-2018 European Football Champions League will be staged here!

The two teams that have reached the Champions League final this season are Liverpool and Arsenal from England!

The situation where two Premier League teams reached the Champions League finals at the same time happened ten years ago. Interestingly, the final was staged in Moscow, Ukrainian neighbor Russia!

Ten years ago, Manchester United and Chelsea competed for the Champions League championship, symbolizing the Premier League grandeur of that era!

Ten years later, Liverpool and Arsenal are competing for the Champions League championship, which also represents the arrival of another Premier League grand era!

Liverpool has won the title four times in the past four seasons. If they win the championship today, they will tie the five consecutive Champions League titles created by Real Madrid, and will also become the first team in European football history to have accumulated ten Champions League titles!

Compared to Real Madrid's five consecutive championships half a century ago, the difficulty of Liverpool's four consecutive championships today has surpassed that of Real Madrid's kingship. If Liverpool can be the king of the Champions League for five consecutive years, it will definitely be awarded the honor of the best team in history!

Arsenal entered the Champions League final this year as a dark horse. The last time they were able to reach the Champions League final was 12 years ago. The arsenal led by Henry, Campbell, Pire and other stars unfortunately lost to Barcelona in the final. Can Klopp lead Arsenal to the first Champions League title in the club's history today?

Let's look at the starters of both teams.

Liverpool starts 433.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, Cooley Barry, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kante, Eriksen, Casemiro.

Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Sane.

There is nothing unexpected about Liverpool's starting lineup, they have put out the strongest lineup to face the Champions League final.

Arsenal's starter was also 433.

Goalkeeper: Karius.

Defenders: Bellerin, Koscherny, Lovren, Chambers.

Midfielders: Milner, Ramsey, Wijnaldum.

Forwards: Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Arsenal also ranked their strongest lineup in today's final!

Situ Yunbing and Klopp are full of passion every time they meet. Can today's Champions League final show excitement and shock that surpasses the past?

Let's wait and see!"

The starters of Liverpool and Arsenal teams set up their formations in their respective halfs after the kick-off ceremony on the court.

The confident Liverpool can obviously be stronger than Arsenal in terms of momentum.

Klopp once said at a pre-match press conference that whenever and where Liverpool will be met, it will be a fierce battle. It will be difficult to fight hard!

And meeting Liverpool in the Champions League final will only be more difficult!

The reason is very simple, Liverpool plays too many games in the finals!

Situ Yunbing coached Liverpool for 6 years, but even if the time span is calculated based on 10 years, no team in European football today can be more experienced than Liverpool's finals!

Klopp's team is more able to achieve the consistency of the rhythm of the whole team. When the wingers need to defend on the wing, they will definitely retreat in place and will not watch from the frontcourt.

Sane forced a transverse cross-cut and encountered Milner. In the crack, Sane made a short pass and sent the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Lewandowski had to knock the ball back to Eriksen under the pressure of Wijnaldum. After stopping the ball, he shorted the ball to the right in front of the penalty area without waiting for Ramsey to get close.

Mbappe, who cut in, dribbled the ball while the man scored!

The football passed to the right side of Lovren's body, and he rushed from the left side to quickly attack!

Although Lovren was very vigilant and turned around to seize the position at the first time, Mbappe's speed caught him off guard, so Lovren turned back to the inside and blocked Mbappe's shooting angle while returning to defense.

When Mbappe re-controlled the ball in the right rib of the penalty area, he pretended to shoot directly and shook Lovren's center of gravity. He spiked the ball under his feet and then looked for the angle. Lewandowski was pressed by Koscheerny to defend. Mbappe had no more room to play, and Sane cut in from the far end and did not run out of time!

Mbappe made a pass false move when Lovren turned around and pressed, but he knocked the ball back to the front of the bottom line. He passed his right foot and shot the ball!

The football flew to the near corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Karius quickly moved and blocked the ball with his palms out of the baseline!

"Mbappe's shot was blocked by Karius! Liverpool got a corner kick off the offensive opportunity.

Just now, Mbappe passed Lovren twice in the Arsenal defense zone and it was very exciting!

First, the man ball was scored, then the fake fax was passed, and Lovren was passed twice!

Can Arsenal withstand Liverpool's mad attack?”

Klopp frowned slightly on the sidelines because Karius blocked the ball from the baseline!

Logically speaking, Mbappe's shot is almost exactly the same as Mane's previous shot!

The same angle and the same position are just one in the left ribs of the penalty area and the other in the right ribs of the penalty area!

But the goalkeeper's performance was different. Ter Stegen was able to hold the ball smoothly, but Karius sent the ball out of the baseline and gave Liverpool a corner kick!

This may be just a slight difference, but in fact, there is a big difference in opportunities!

Ter Stegen held the football and could directly instigate Liverpool's attack. Karius blocked the ball from the baseline but allowed Liverpool to get a corner kick. The ball rights were still under Liverpool's feet. Can it be the same?

Klopp had no ominous premonition, just thought it was Karius's first time playing such a big final, and the stress factor could not be ignored.

Liverpool took a tactical corner kick. Arnold just received a pass from Eriksen on the side of the frontcourt and was pressed by Mane. Arnold quickly passed the ball straight into the hinterland of the right rib of the penalty area.

Mbappe, who was quickly forward, almost succeeded in counter-offside. Fortunately, Arsenal's defense did not take the risk of offside tactics. Defender Koscheerny ran all the way over and took the lead in physical confrontation with Mbappe, which made Mbappe unable to control the ball when touching the ball. Instead, he touched the ball out of the baseline because his center of gravity was unstable.
