Bayern München vs Inter Milan Match Preview
The best teams from the European Competitions will try to become the best of Europe in this Champions League (CL). Mostly the winners of the big leagues and several 2nd/3rd ranked teams in their league are taking part in this competition. Who will be the best of Europe this season? Watch this and you will know!
Bayern Munich and Inter Milan both seek a coveted “treble” when they meet in Madrid for the 2010 Champions League Final on Saturday. Bayern are the Bundesliga and German Cup winners; Inter won the Scudetto and Copa Italia this season. Yet few would have given either squad much chance of getting this far.
Bayern made it through to the knockout stage of the competition after finishing second to Bordeaux in Group A, with three wins a draw and two losses. It was their 1-4 victory over Juventus in December that stamped Bayern’s ticket out of the Group Stage.
Bayern’s first encounter in the knockout stages was another Italian squad, Fiorentina. Despite a 3-2 loss to the Italians in the second leg and a 4-4 aggregate score line from the home and away matches, Bayern went through to the Round of 8 on the away goals rule.
A much anticipated encounter with Manchester United awaited the German side. Once again a 4-4 aggregate in the home and away matches saw Bayern go though on the away goals rule, this time to the semi-finals, with Bayern’s two goals at Old Trafford proving fatal for Manchester United, even though Bayern lost on the night.
The victory over Manchester United set up a semi-final encounter with Olympique Lyonnais, whoRibery and van Gaal. "If you had listened to me, laddie, you'd be playing on Saturday." had overcome their fellow Frenchmen from Bordeaux to reach the semis. Bayern squeezed past Lyon 1-0 in the first leg in Munich, but issued the French squad a thorough trouncing 0-3 in the return leg on a hat trick by Croatian striker Ivica Olic.
Unfortunately for Bayern, however, French international midfielder Franck Ribery was red carded for an aggressive challenge in the first leg. And although his team now find themselves in the final in Madrid on Saturday, Ribery won’t be on the field with them. His three match ban has been upheld in spite of desperate efforts by the club to appeal the conviction.
Like Bayern, Inter finished second in their Group. Inter’s Group F included the mighty defending champions Barcelona, as well as Russian outfit Rubin Kazan and Ukrainians Dynamo Kiev.
Inter managed a 0-0 draw with Barca at home in the San Siro in the group stage, but away at Camp Nou Barcelona’s 2-0 victory was a stylish display that gave no inkling of the performance that was to come when the two sides met later in the tournament semi-finals.
Nevertheless, Inter escaped the Group phase and next had Chelsea to deal with in the Round of 16. The drama of the moment was the stuff of Hollywood movies, as former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, clearly still besotted in his affection for the London club, returned to Stamford Bridge with his new team amid much fanfare and speculation.
Unexpected home and away wins over Chelsea saw Inter through to the Round of 8 where they met CSKA Moscow. A pair of 1-0 victories over the Army Men set up the semi-final with Barcelona.
To everyone’s surprise—Mourinho being the possible exception—Inter came from a goal down to beat the Catalans 3-1 at the San Siro. The return leg at Camp Nou saw Inter go down to 10 men after only half an hour when Thiago Motta was sent off. The Italians withdrew into a defensive shell that Barcelona, despite all their firepower and skill, simply could not break down. A late goal by Barcelona’s Gerard Pique was mere consolation for the Catalan squad and Inter were through to the Final.
It was a moment of unambiguous jubilation for the Italians and especially for Mourinho, who stormed the Camp Nou pitch at the final whistle nearly to be manhandled by a disenchanted Barca goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
The only happier folk on Earth that night might have been fans of Real Madrid, to whom the notion of their nemesis Barcelona winning another Champions league title on the turf at the Bernabeu could only be anathema.
