Bayern ist playing a superb football right now. Since their win against Torino last year they are on a mission and it looks like they are getting better and better each week. You have to know that I am from Nuremberg and therefore I am really not a supporter of Bayern because we usually hate Munich.
Here are some facts:
Last matches: 2006 / 2007 Inter - Bayern 0-2
Bayern - Inter 1-1
Bayern Munich won 22 national titles Inter won 18 national titles
Bayern Munich won 15 national trophies Inter won 6 national trophies
European Champion Clubs' Cup titles
Bayern Munich won 4 times Inter won 2 times
Since 1992 there had been 6 substitues scoring a goal in the final.
There are just 6 players in both teams not taking part in the wc 2010:
Bayern Munich: van Buyten, Altintop, Olic
Inter: Zanetti, Cambiasso, Balotelli
Bayern Munichs Olic scored 7 goals in this years Champions League Season. With another goal in the final he will be in the top spot together with Messi (8 goals)
Cup: 62 cm
TV attendance: 2009 109.000.000
Shirts: Bayern red-white Inter: blue-black
Lahm of Bayern Munich played 52 games this season while Zanetti of Inter played 53 of their 55 games.
Weather: around 30 degrees Celsius around gametime
Average Age: Bayern Munich 27.8 years Inter 29.7 years (only Sneijder and Balotelli are under 28 years old)
Zanetti will be the oldest player on the field with the age of 37 years.
Expected Line-ups:
Bayern:
Butt (35 yrs) - Lahm (26), van Buyten (32), Demichelis (29), Badstuber (21) - van Bommel (33), Schweinsteiger (25) - Robben (26), Müller (20), Altintop (27) - Olic (30)
coach: van Gaal
Inter:
Cesar (30) - Chivu (29), Lucio (32), Samuel (32), Maicon (28) - Sneijder (25), Etoò (29), Cambiasso (29), Zanetti (36), Balotelli (19) - Milito (30)
coach: Mourinho
Both teams are nearly equal. Bayern has a big loss with Ribbery being suspended. However they looked like the strongest Bayern team in decades.
I think of a draw and Bayern raising the cup after penalties.
There is more than just the cup on the line. In case Bayern wins or gets a loss after penalties Germany will get the 4th Champions league spot from Italy starting in 2011/2012 (4 Champions League teams from Germany and just 3 from Italy in this case). In case Inter wins in regulation or extra time Italy will keep their 4th Champions league spot until at least the 2011 / 2012 season.
Have fun watching the game.

. I am currently watching Germany against Russia in the hockey wc semis (1-1 with 2 minutes remaining in the second) and was not concentrated.
