Who will win the champions league final?


Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich. Italy vs Germany. Who will triumph?

Both of these team have an equal chance at winning the coveted trophy. But i predict that this year's final is going to be a boring one.

None of these teams play the beautiful passing game that everyone wants to see. They are not flashy teams but they are disciplined and well organised. Hence, do not expect many flashy passing from the final.

The favourites to win the title is Inter Milan. They are argubly the strongest team in Europe. They knocked out the current holders, Barcelona, whom everyone thought was unbeatable, easily. They have a solid defence and it takes patience to tear their defence apart. Their weak point is that their team lack pace, compared to Bayern Munich, who have the likes of Ribery and Robben who are extremely speedy. Inter Milan must not be as over confident as their manager, Jose Mourinho if they are to lift the trophy. As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall.

The underdogs Bayern Munich need to work on their defence. In the second leg of the quarter final against Manchester United, their defence was horrible. Man-marking was terrible. They were lucky to progress into the semi finals. If they are to have a solid back four on the final day, they may be the ones celebrating. They have two top class wingers, Ribery and Robben, but Ribery would not play in the final as he was suspended. But, Bayern can still win without him as they have the highflying dutch man-Arjen Robben to lead them to their first Champions league trophy in 9 years.

Both of these teams are aiming for a treble, but i would say that Inter Milan have the best chance to acheive it. My prediction, Inter Milan would win by 1-0. I hope my preidction would be spot on.
