Champions League Final

Well, imagine an orchestra playing at the back, now that's how dramatic it was.

Luis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho were master and apprentice back in their Barcelona days. Now, Mourinho looked to conquer his master.

I'ma win and make you my bitch, you dig it dawg?

After 45 years, deemed as the joke of Milan, they finally won the Champions League. Jose Mourinho is the hero giving Internazionale what they need like what he did in Porto. Regret much Abramovich?

Italian teams has became less of threats year by year; which has been dominated by Spanish La Liga and the Premier League, Jose brought back the reason to fear. The aging Inter has been injected with a new mentality to win and the new faces; Eto'o(ditched by Barca and now has won two times in a row with different club), Wesley Sneijder(Real Madrid reject) and Lucio(Bayern sold him for Robben), who fill in the void in the field to threat and shred open the opponents defense. Javier Zanetti made his 700th appearance for Inter and Diego Milito at his 30, not as glamorous as Messi, Tevez or Aguero but proved to be a perfect man for Inter.

Inter Milan held the possession ONLY at 30% and Bayern at 70%. That is just 20 minutes of the total time. Wow. Who could have done so much in 20 minutes? Inter Milan did.

Diego Milito scored both goal in the 34th and 70th minutes to kill off any threats of Bayern.

Inter had the least possession but have better game that what they had against Barcelona.

How did this happened?

One reason for sure is Bayern is less of a threat on the ball unlike Barcelona whose far more creative on troubling the opponent with passes. Bayern's weapons, Ribery and Robben, both on the side. Now with Ribery suspended, Robben is not much of a threat. He tend to run off with the ball, infiltrating and wiggle his way through rather than pass the ball. His Netherland's compatriot is the opponent; Wesley Sneijder had better day than Robben did. His piercing passes often found the feets of his team mates.

Hamit Altintop? Well, just erase him out of the picture. Badstuber and Demichelis? It's safe to say that Inter's work was less. They defend and counter. The easiest way. Demichelis and Van Buyten wasn't able to absorb the pressure from Pandev, Eto'o and Milito. Sneijder's passes were all over them and they can't even track the ball. Schweinsteiger was the general tracking back the ball and Van Bommel was not as effective 5 years ago.

The counter-attack measure deployed by Inter often found Bayern ran back in panic. And it was hysterical to see Bayern couldn't deal with Milito and Pandev, let alone Samuel Eto'o.

Inter's defense was tough to break down like they were against Barca, and Bayern became less and less threatening, Julio Cesar; you could see him sipped a cup of tea a couple of time during the game, seemed like Bayern; they were out of options. Ivica Olic became 'who?' and the 'ol Klose, well not much to say about him.

When Milito scored the first goal, Bayern can barely do nothing. And when he scored the second goal in the 70th minutes, with Inter's way of defending, Bayern's were light years away from scoring(oh, the hyper bole).

Reading his lips, he yelled out 'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL~!!!!!!!!!' if i'm not mistaken. He did it twice.

Howard Webb, one of my favorite referee, blew the whistle and Mourinho celebrate his victory. He did it again. To be honest, Chelsea were a lot scarier with him on the team. But now, Inter is scarier. Not just scarier, they won the treble this season.

Oh yes, it is historical if you win the treble. Please look back in the history book and please, do you see any Chelsea or Liverpool there? With trebles? NAYYY!!

Fuckers. Now, time for WORLD CUP 2010!
