The Champions League final is not just a battle for honor, but also a battle for money. According to a statistics from Mastercard, the total economic effect of the Champions League final design reached 269 million euros.

According to Mastercard statistics, the winner of the Champions League final on Saturday night will receive an economic gain of 126 million euros; the loser will also receive a profit of 73 million euros; and the host city of London will also have a profit of 52 million euros. If all the economic gains are calculated, the economic effect of the entire Champions League final will reach 369 million euros.

Barcelona and Manchester United, who can become the biggest economic beneficiary? The final result will be in the early morning of the 29th.

The study was conducted by the International Center for Sports Economics Research at Coventry University. The center director Simon Chadwick said that the growth of economic value is affected by club portrait rights, television broadcast rights and other factors.

The report also shows that the impact of the Champions League final is not only in Europe, but its impact on Latin America is very considerable, reaching as much as 100 million euros. Chadwick believes that considering the 12 South American players in the two participating teams in the Champions League final and 40% of South Americans have Spanish descent, the impact of this final in Latin America will be a record.

But, this is nothing!

Because no one has a great influence on everyone, that is, Dong Fangzhuo's influence in Asia. He will create 300 million euros for Asia alone! Among them, there are as many as 250 million in China.

After Mastercard's report came out, the Times of England exclaimed: Oh my God, when we thought the center of football was in Europe, we were actually performing programs for the Chinese. The economic benefits brought by Chinese Dong in China are too great, and the whole of Europe is not an opponent, so how important is it to have a Chinese player? Manchester United lost gold in the past decade, not to mention that there is also a Cristiano Ronaldo...

The Times always reveals Manchester United's scars when they are fine, and then they continue to praise Dong Fangzhuo:

"You can't imagine how many people are paying attention to China Dong. In the streets and alleys of China, everyone would know David Beckham and Ronaldo, but now they can't know Messi or Ronaldo, but they will all know China Dong. They already have their own national heroes and football idols, and they are the only ones. He is the god of this country, just like Maradona to Argentina, Bailey to Brazil..."

Finally, the day of the Champions League final has finally arrived. The two teams have been hyped up for a week. At the pre-match press conference, Ferguson and Mourinho have little to say, because the news media, fans, players and celebrities who should be said have said it. What other secrets can they have?

Whether it is Ferguson or Mourinho, they are used to big scenes. The head coaches who have played in the Champions League finals and won the Champions League all chose to directly announce the lineup.

Manchester United: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar

Defenders: Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evera

Midfielder: Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Park Jisung

Forward: Rooney, Hernandez

Without Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo, and without Modric, Ferguson had already returned to the old formation, 4-4-2.

"As everyone guessed, Manchester United has no secrets, it's a game of willpower," Ferguson said.

Mourinho then said bluntly: "For Real Madrid, it is the opponent's fear of changing, not the Real Madrid's change due to their opponents. Ferguson is right, this game will compete with willpower."

Real Madrid is still 4-3-3.

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defenders: Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo

Midfielder: Alonso, Modric, Khdira

Forward: Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo, Di Maria

No matter how many people predicted the lineup before the game, no one guessed it completely in the end.

“Hedila?”

"Although I had expected Mourinho to play with three midfielders, I really didn't expect to use Khedira. I thought he would use Las Diarra, otherwise Dong would have played in the middle, with Alonso and Modric behind him. I feel Khedira would be a huge risk."

The moment he got the lineup, Leinkell was surprised at Mourinho's use of personnel, mainly because Khedira hasn't played games for too long. Can he play well in a good match? This is the biggest question.

"But this is very interesting when South Korea's Park and China Dong face off against each other..."

Outside the Wembley Stadium, many fans without tickets sat in the square and prepared to watch the game through the big screen. The types of fans are very complex, including Manchester United fans, Real Madrid fans, British fans, fans from other European countries, and Chinese fans. The most prominent ones are Chinese fans wearing Dong Fangzhuo's jersey.

Nearly 2,000 fans were stranded outside the square!

As the camera passes, it seems that everyone is in a bad mood? The expression on their faces doesn’t look like they are watching the ball, so why are they still angry?

You shouldn't be happy to watch the ball...

At this time, Huang Jianxiang said righteously during the live broadcast: "Did you see that there were nearly five or two Chinese fans outside the stadium unable to enter the court."

“It’s a shame.”

“This is a scam.”

"It's hard to imagine that some Chinese people dare to cheat in such a high-profile game. Two years ago, when I was in Milan, I met two children and said they were deceived by a scalper from China. They traveled from China to Milan to watch Dong Fangzhuo's game, but found that they could not enter the stadium and the tickets in their hands were fake."

"The same is true today, but the number of people is terrifying. Two thousand Chinese fans have been deceived, and the Chinese are still cheating them. Now British police and domestic police are already launching joint arrests. I believe these criminals will be arrested soon. However, today the Londoners can only arrange for Chinese fans to watch the game outside the Wembley Stadium."

"Some Chinese people are really embarrassed to go abroad..."

"Ahem, okay, the game is about to begin in ten minutes. The players on both sides are already waiting in line at the player's passage."

The camera switched to the player channel at Wembley Stadium, and everyone saw a warm scene.

Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo, and Modric have been talking and laughing with their former Manchester United teammates, and they don't look like a solemn Champions League final at all.

"Dong Fangzhuo is now hugging Giggs, one is less than 27 years old and the other is 38 years old. If Dong Fangzhuo does not leave Manchester United, he will be the captain of Manchester United for many years, but..."

"It's not easy for Ferguson. Even the 37-year-old Scholes has to sit on the bench. There are too many veterans in Manchester United, and he has done his best."

At this time, in the Wembley Stadium, the Champions League music was played suddenly, and the passionate and surging music instantly ran through the entire stadium...

"Players on both sides officially appear!"

“The competition is about to begin.”

"Hello, fans, welcome to watch..."

After the song, the two teams shook hands and greeted each other, and the captains of both sides threw coins and picked the side...
