Here is it! The biggest prize of European football scene is at stake when two famous elite clubs, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, cross swords in 2009/10 UEFA Champions League final at Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid on this Saturday, 22nd MAY 2010. This season’s UCL final is the first to be played on Saturday.

Bayern, winner most recently in 2001, are seeking their 5th European crown while Inter are looking to lift the trophy for the first time in 45 years since their back-to-back triumphs in the mid-60s. This is the 5th game between Bayern and Inter, where the most recent encounter came in the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League group stage which ended with a 1-1 draw. Bayern used up their nine lives as they simply refused to die en route to Madrid early on this term. Meanwhile Inter, for their part, flirted with disaster and struggled in the group stage as well.

Both clubs have played the same number of matches (28) against teams from the rival country, but Inter have the more superior record: Bayern v Italian clubs = 9 wins 7 draws 12 loses; Inter v German clubs = 13 wins 8 draws 7 loses. This is Bayern’s 10th visit to the Santiago Bernabeu and their record from 9 previous matches there is 2 wins 1 draw 6 loses. Inter have won once and lost 5 of 6 previous games at Santiago Bernabeu. This is the third final between German and Italian teams – on both previous occasions the Bundesliga side prevailed respectively in 1983 and 1997.

Asian handicap giving the odd of Inter let 0/0.5 goal. Basically this is a 50-50 match as both sides have reach the season’s final stage and have nothing to lose anymore. Due to personal favourite, Bayern Munich will be my choice and they get my faith. Money on the Bavarian side!

So, be prepare to feel the final heat of this prestigious European football clubs’ competition for this season on this coming Saturday!
