Inter Milan takes on Bayern Munich in the final of this year's UEFA Champions League (or European Cup for you old timers), which will be played at the Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain. Inter head coach Jose Mourinho is known for his defensive ways and doesn't seem to mind winning ugly, while Bayern has scored plenty of goals in this season's competition but has suffered multiple lapses in the defensive third of the field. Both teams will come into the game full of confidence; Inter won the Italian league title and knocked off defending European champion Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals, while Bayern won the German league and cup double and has engineered several thrilling comebacks in European action behind the potent attacking play of Dutch winger Arjen Robben. Bayern will be without French forward Franck Ribery, who picked up a red card in the semifinals and is suspended for the match. Talk Footy's prediction is that Inter will sit back and absorb Bayern's pressure, and eventually score two goals on counterattacks. Bayern will pull one back late but won't be able to complete yet another comeback. Inter wins 2-1, and Jose Mourinho will start referring to himself as the "Really Special One," then leave to take the Real Madrid coaching position and convince LeBron James to join him at Madrid.
The match will be on Fox in high definition and kicks off at 2:45pm. Enjoy.
