Inter Milan are the new champions of Europe after they finished victorious against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final. Diego Milito was the hero scoring twice either side of half time.
The Nerazzurri started on offensive, but the danger of FCB was clear when Arjen Robben instigated a counter-attack in the third minute and was swiftly brought down by Walter Samuel.
Bayern looked more comfortable in possession than Inter. Robben continued to pose a threat every time he got the ball but Inter were looking threatening on the counter attack.

With 35 minutes gone, the deadlock was finally broken, Julio Cesar’s long ball was flicked to Sneijder by Milito. Sneijder played it back to the Milito who then raced into the penalty area and held off two players before clipping the ball over Butt into the net to produce a stunning finish.
Bayern continued to search for an equaliser producing some great openings but continually failing to find a way past the excellent Julio Cesar.
Van Buyten could do little in the 70th minute as Inter doubled the lead. Eto’o spotted Milito 30 yards from goal, and the Argentine dashed past the defender before curling his shot past Butt and into the far corner.
As the game entered injury time, Diego Milito was replaced and received a standing ovation from the Inter fans. The match winner expressed his delight after his brace earned his side the biggest trophy in club football.
“It’s a great joy for me. I have never experienced this and I am really happy for Inter,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“The president [Massimo Moratti] deserves this and I am really happy for everyone tonight.
“This is football and I am really happy. I have always fought hard for this and I have always given the maximum.
“We deserve this trophy, the team, the club, the president and everyone. I am very happy. I want to thank Inter, and the president.”?
But, it wasn’t all smiles though as Milito revealed he could be leaving.
“Will I stay? I don’t know. I have important offers,” he concluded.
