Bavarian knocked out the former champion of Premier League 2009 and Lyon to progress to the final after regained the Bundesliga title and stayed on course for a historic treble after they won the German Cup.

Inter deserved to win. As much as I hate Mourinho and his massive ego, he did a great job with Inter. Though it's funny that it is an Italian team with no Italian's in the line up????

Yep Zac, there's no Italian's in the starting eleven so that's why we called it .. Internationale ;o)

Then 'the special one' is landing to another wider than internationale .. Los Galacticos III!!
