Ten minutes before the start of the game, the two assistant referees who were officiating the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Chelsea knocked on the door of the locker room respectively, reminding them that they could go to the player tunnel and wait to play.
After about a minute, players from both sides appeared in the player tunnel.
Television broadcast stations from all over the world also connected to the live signal at this moment, and the on-site commentator began to explain.
"The two sides of the game have already appeared in the player tunnel, and the game will start in a few minutes.
Chelsea and Barcelona can be said to be the two best performing teams in Europe this season.
They dominate their respective leagues and appear in Aiello and Messi in the camera are the absolute core of the two teams."
The person in charge of the on-site commentary of this game on av5 station was He Wei.
Immediately, the camera showed a panoramic view of the Camp Nou.
The Barcelona team anthem "ecantdebara" was playing on the stadium radio.
There were nearly 90,000 home team fans holding cards in various shapes with Barcelona's main colors of red and blue and secondary colors of yellow.
With the Barcelona team song surrounding them, the on-site director showed the camera to the stand directly opposite the host seat.
The left side is blue and the right side is red.
In the middle is a minion made up of all yellow cards.
The upper stand of the minions is Barcelona fans hold up the rectangular bara letters made of red, blue and yellow.
Barcelona fans use this method to create the ultimate home atmosphere, cheering the home team while also putting great pressure on the visiting team players.
Following the leadership of the referee, the players from both sides each led a ball boy down the stairs of the player tunnel and walked towards the court.
It is worth mentioning that during this process, there was not much negotiation between the players on both sides.
Many players on both sides had some disputes three years ago.
Aiello and Messi did not look at each other from beginning to end.
Aiello has scored 13 goals in the past ten Champions League games this season.
His efficiency has dropped to varying degrees compared to the previous three seasons, but no one doubts his competitive status, and Messi has played in the past ten games.
He scored 10 goals in each game and averaged one goal per game, becoming his most efficient season since his debut.
Therefore, he has enough confidence to lead Barcelona to defeat Chelsea.
The players on both sides are separated on the left and right with four referees as the middleman.
The home team is on the left side of the camera and the away team is on the right side of the camera.
The UEFA Champions League theme song "Champions of Europe" is still loud.
The UEFA staff surrounding the center circle keep waving the canvas with the UEFA Champions League ogo logo, creating the atmosphere of Europe's top league.
At this time, the camera panned from Aiello on the far right to Messi, who was standing on the far left of the queue, and then stopped.
The Champions League of Europe finished playing at this moment, and huge cheers erupted from the stands.
According to the rules of the game, the visiting team players standing on the right walked to the home team on the left and shook hands one by one.
It was not until the handshake between Aiello and Messi that became the focus of everyone.
Everyone knew that only the two people in the camera decided the trend of the game.
However, Aiello and Messi only shook hands lightly and did not communicate much at all, which also disappointed the interested commentators and reporters before the game.
Immediately afterwards, the players from both sides separated into the left and right halves for a group photo.
Chelsea in this game has a change from the usual 4,33 formation, which is that the position responsibilities in the midfield and midfield are more clear, and it is more like a 4,23 formation.
The goalkeeper is still Cech.
Except for Alex, who replaced Carvalho who was absent due to injury, the other three positions of the four defenders remain unchanged.
Mikel and Ballack in the midfield play as a double midfielder, while Lampard Sitting in the middle, Aiello and Malouda are on the left and right, and Ballack is at the front.
The home team Barcelona arranged their usual four-three-three, with goalkeeper Valdes, four defenders Alves, Puyol, Max and Abidal, and three midfielders Xavi, Yaya Toure and Ines.
Tower, the three forwards are Messi, Eto'o and Henry.
Aiello stood in the center circle with his right foot on the football, Drogba stood to his left, and the other twenty players on the field stood in their respective positions.
What's interesting is that when all the players on the field were waiting for the referee Stark to blow his whistle, huge boos broke out in the stands.
It turned out that the on-site director showed the camera to Chelsea coach Mourinho.
Considering his relationship with the media and fans in Catalonia before the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, it was not surprising that he encountered such treatment.
At this moment, referee Stark blew his whistle.

Aiello stepped on the football with his foot to Drogba, then ran to his own left, and the game was announced.
"Barcelona and Chelsea have met 11 times in the history of the European War.
Barcelona has 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses.
Among them, Barcelona has 4 wins and 2 draws at home and remains unbeaten.
It has the absolute upper hand, but it must be said that Chelsea has won 23 consecutive Champions League games.
Undefeated in every game, they defeated Real Madrid and Liverpool in the four games of the 18th and 14th finals respectively.
However, Barcelona also performed well, and also eliminated Lyon and Bayern Munich by huge margins in the 18th and 14th finals.”
At the same time, the live studio BBC commentator Lineker began his own broadcast commentary.
When Chelsea players have the ball, the Camp Nou stands always erupt with huge boos, and they use their own efforts to put enough pressure on the visiting team players.
I don’t know if it was the pressure caused by the away fans.
Mikel made a mistake in a direct pass in the backcourt.
Iniesta intercepted it early, and then he protected the ball at 360 degrees to tackle Lampa.
De passed before passing the ball to Harvey, the big brother in the team.
After Harvey got the ball, because he got the ball in his own backcourt, no one came forward to mark him, so he could calmly look up and observe.
With Messi on the right, Chelsea's defense on the left is obviously a key deployment.
It is a heavily guarded area in Chelsea's defense system.
Xavi decisively gave the ball to the left back Abidal, who took the ball forward.
Vidal took two steps and passed the football to Henry.
Ivanovic did not dare to stand on Henry's inward route, while Ballack stood on Henry's possible inward route.
Facing the cautious Ivanovic, Henry pulled the ball back twice with his left foot, and then used the change in rhythm to suddenly slam the ball toward the baseline, fighting for speed.
Although Henry is 32 years old this year, he still looked very fast when facing the young Ivanovic, forcing the latter to fall to the ground and foul ten meters away from the baseline.
Barcelona won a free kick attacking the left wing.
"Less than a minute into the game, Henry's breakthrough sounded the clarion call for Barcelona's attack."
Immediately, Xavi took a set kick, Chelsea's defense personnel surged, and the football flew backwards.
Terry failed to keep up with Eto'o's forward speed, and the latter passed the football to the goal before it flew out of the baseline.
Before, Messi hit his forehead in front of the goal.
Ashley Cole instinctively kicked the ball sideways and volleyed it out before goalkeeper Petr Cech had time to react.
Ballack got stuck in position and added some strength to knock the ball away.
Kicks forward.
Suddenly, a burst of exclamations erupted from the stands.
"One and a half minutes into the game, Barcelona, which plays at home, quickly launched an offensive with the advantage of being at home.
If it weren't for luck, they should have scored during this time."
The voice of the Catalan regional commentator was filled with disappointment.
Messi, who missed a great opportunity, also slapped his forehead to express his punishment for not seizing this opportunity.
After more than a minute of opening, this threatening attack ignited the atmosphere of the fans at Camp Nou.
When it was Chelsea's turn to attack, huge boos erupted from the stands, which also made Ai Luo a little unhappy.
It's not that he was affected by the crowd in the stands, but that his teammates made consecutive mistakes, which indirectly reduced his chances of getting the ball, and therefore he also lost a lot of opportunities to shine.
So he decided to give the home fans a little show, let's do something.
The overly noisy Camp Nou represents the world's number one player who is too incompetent.
In the 5th minute of the game, Aiello finally found a chance.
About 30 meters away from the baseline on the left sideline, he received a through ball from Ballack, and Alves and Iniesta surrounded him.
Aiello took turns pulling the ball back and forth with both feet.
Neither Alves nor Iniesta dared to neglect.
At this time, Ashley Cole, who was good at assisting, inserted at high speed along the outside of the sideline.
Guardiola, who was standing off the court, instinctively widened his eyes and stared at the ball at Ai Luo's feet.

At the moment when Ashley Cole passed by Aiello, Aiello took advantage of Alves's attention on Ashley Cole and suddenly directed the ball towards Alves and Ines with his left foot.
Between the towers, Iniesta instinctively stretched out his right foot to steal the ball, but he only kicked Aiello's feet.
Immediately afterwards, Iniesta raised his arms to show that he was unintentional, but Aiello staggered a few steps with his extraordinary balance and did not fall to the ground.
This shocked the starting captain Puyol.
He had received a yellow card.
If he received a yellow card in this game, he would be suspended in the second round, which would mean that he was restrained while defending.
He held his hands.
Aiello's dribbling speed is very fast, and he directly faces Puyol's defense in two or three steps.
In order to share Puyol's defensive pressure, single midfielder Yaya Toure accelerated towards Aiello, but at this moment, Aiello passed the ball to Drogba who was stuck in position.
After passing the ball, Aiello stopped suddenly and moved sideways to the right.
Yaya Toure was too tall and heavy to brake in time.
He could only watch helplessly as Aiello received Drogba's pass and hit a long shot at the top of the arc in the penalty area. shoot.
Valdes reacted instinctively, but he did not pounce on the football.
At the same time, the boos that erupted in the stands turned into exclamations.
But in the end, under the anxious gaze of the Barcelona fans behind the goal, it scraped the outer edge of the right post and rolled out of the baseline
