The Champions League Final is going to be quite the exciting one. Inter Milan have not won the cup since 1965, so this final will be a special one for them. Speaking of "special ones", Jose Mourinho, the coach of Inter guided them to the final after beating the current European Champions, Barcelona. In the first leg, Inter won 3-1 at home, therefore meaning that Barcelona had to win 2-0 at home in order to go through to the final. After an intense game where Inter spent the majority with 10 men, Barcelona couldn't do enough to get past Inter and only beat them 1-0, meaning that Inter went through. A tough battle between the two teams only lead to one going on, and it was Inter who deserved to go through. In the other semi-final, it was Bayern Munich against Olymique Lyon. Bayern cruised through to the final having had beaten Lyon at home 3-0 and away 1-0 having a 4-0 aggregrate over the French team overall. Bayern Munich haven't made an appearance in the European final since 1999 when they lost against Manchester United. The German giants will be hungry for the trophy this year as they have had a successful campaign in both the German Cup and German Bundesliga, winning both. If they win the Champions League final, they will have completed the prestigious Treble (Winning all three major competitions). The final, held in Madrid, will definitely be one to watch!
