On May 29, 2011, the weather in London was good, 23 degrees Celsius and 16 degrees humidity.
It was a very suitable day for a football match.
Sky TV, the official partner of the UEFA Champions League, carried out tracking and filming reports on the two sides of the match, Valencia and Barcelona, and reported closely to the fans who were watching the UEFA Champions League final in the evening.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, commentators Martin Taylor and Andy Gray were sitting in their London headquarters, ready and waiting to go on air. "3,2,1action" Following the Sky TV director's shout, the main commentator Martin Taylor, who was sitting on the left, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what is being broadcast now is the UEFA Champions League special program UEFA Champions League Preview created by Sky TV for you."
Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, who were sitting in the host positions, zoomed out and moved to the upper right corner, while the big screen mainly showed the morning situation of the players of Valencia and Barcelona.
Valencia took a short rest after eating a nutritious breakfast on the morning of the final, and then conducted strength training, allowing the players to become familiar with the moment when the body is full of power from the morning, so as to maintain a good physical condition throughout the day.
If any player does not feel good personally, he must report it to the coaching staff so that targeted training can be carried out to adjust the individual's physical condition to the best, especially the starting players.
In fact, Valencia's starting players have not changed much.
When David Villa, David Silva and Ai Luo are healthy, the trident will basically not change.
What has changed is the attacking midfielder position.
This season's Young player James Rodriguez has improved very quickly and has a better scoring ability than Mata.
But the problem is that Mata has more experience in the game, and it happens that in this top-level Champions League final, what is needed most is experience.
Of course, there is another position that is in suspense: the defensive midfielder.
Whether to start this season's starting midfielder Javi Martinez or captain Alberda will take the position.
Many media could not find sufficient reasons before the game.
"Valencia's preparations look very good.
From Ai to the goalkeeper Wang, the expressions on their faces are very relaxed.
Only a few young players are a little nervous, but we believe that as the game progresses, they will gradually return to normal. " Andy Gray said.
Soon, the camera switched to the hotel where Barcelona was staying.
Judging from the camera, the facial expressions of both the head coach Guardiola and the players were a bit stiff, especially the star Messi.
However, these situations are not surprising to the media.
Andy Gray said: "The game will start in less than six hours.
It is normal for Barcelona players to feel the pressure from the Champions League final.
They lost at the Bernabeu last year.
Manchester United suffered a complete defeat against Valencia in all competitions this year.”
As soon as Andy Gray finished speaking, Messi's interview with the media rang out on the big screen: "The past games this season don't mean anything, and last season's Champions League final means nothing, because there is no comparability at all.
Tonight's game will be played For us and Valencia in the Champions League final, the probability of winning is equal.
If we want to win the final game, it depends on our respective performances."
"It is true and many players in the Barcelona team participated in last year's Champions League final at the Bernabeu Stadium.
Compared with the players in the Valencia team, they have slightly more experience in the Champions League final, so the result of the game still has to wait until the end of the game. draw a conclusion” As early as when major TV stations were previewing the Champions League final, the outside of the new Wembley Stadium was surrounded by fans from both sides of the final.
They wore the jerseys of their respective teams and held up relevant slogans and banners.
Fans gathered in small groups.
They even sang the team song.
Of course, on the eve of such an important Champions League final, the most indispensable thing is the fierce conflict between fans from both sides of the final.
Fortunately, the organizer, the London Police, was well prepared, and England is the home of famous football hooligans.
The police responded flexibly and quickly brought the conflicting fans under control.
With three hours left until game time, fans began to be allowed in in batches.
However, due to limited entrances and the need to slowly stretch out the crowd, almost every queue leading to the stadium stands had long queues.
Many TV reporters led the interview team and captured wonderful shots from the outside.
Compared with last year's Champions League final, this season's Champions League final has a lot more Chinese style elements, with the five-star red flag fluttering in the international metropolis of London.
Unexpectedly, it is the Chinese media that captures the most exciting shots.
It is said that China's four major portals, LeTV, TV, and CCTV have sent a large number of reporters this time in order to fully serve domestic fans and collect the shots that domestic fans like to see.
It is worth mentioning that the Russian tennis beauty Sharapova, who was once rumored to have an affair with Aiello, also appeared outside the new Wembley Stadium.
However, she did not come specifically to watch the game, but just dropped by because she was going to be in Wembley.

Moreover, many tennis stars came to the new Wembley Stadium to watch the game.
Federer, Nadal, and the Williams sisters, who have a good personal relationship with Aiello, all received tickets personally donated by Aiello.
Two hours before the game, the two teams in the final left the UEFA official designated hotel and headed to the competition venue amid the cheers of fans and the clatter of reporters.
Due to long queues at all entrances to the new Wembley Stadium, there were cases where the Valencia and Barcelona buses arrived at the stadium but were unable to enter the stadium to set up parking spots.
If the stadium security personnel had not responded quickly, it is estimated that players entering the stadium to warm up and fans entering the stadium would have been greatly affected.
When the registered players from both sides of the match appeared on the court to warm up, it was less than an hour and a half before the game started, and the stands were already completely filled with enthusiastic fans.
At a glance, you can hardly find any empty seats.
At this time, fans from both sides had already arranged the stands to be very attractive.
Valencia fans wearing white jerseys occupied the north stand of Wembley Stadium and most of the main stands and auxiliary stands near the north stand.
The Barcelona fans wearing red and blue striped shirts occupy the south stand and the south stand is mapped to the main stand and auxiliary stand areas, which seems to be somewhat comparable to the stands occupied by Valencia fans.
However, Valencia had the advantage among the fans supporting both sides in the final.
Because Chelsea fans from west London also came to cheer for Aiello.
They were wearing the same Chelsea No. 9 jersey, with their backs to the court, arms around their shoulders, interacting with the Valencia fans in the North Stand.
It seemed Extraordinary momentum.
Coupled with the UEFA Champions League ogo logo between each level of the stands, and the fan scarves, banners and slogans held high by fans, the atmosphere of the Champions League final is getting stronger and stronger:
