And again, when you have 10 players against a team like Barca that have to score 2 goals, it would be idiotic to try anything else because they would loose 100%.

Excactly
And as a fan of the Dutch Elftal, I just love the fact that both Sneijder and Robben are returning to Madrid as finalists. The irony! ;D

Doesnt matter. Only stat that matters is
Barca: 2

Last year Chelsea got fucked over and this year the two teams in the final probably shouldn't be there. Klose's goal against Fiorentina was what won Bayern that tie in the end and he was miles offside.

I basically about the refs making too many too crucial mistakes, but let's not get carried away here. Inter beat Chelsea twice and owned Barca in the first leg, so I wouldn't say they don't deserve to be there. Yes, Milito's goal was offside, yes, the handball was very questionable. Then on the other hand Piqué's goal was offside too.
As for Bayern, they completely owned Lyon (the team that knocked out the most expensive team of all time), they came back from being down 3-0 in Old Trafford and they got a 4-1 must-win in Turin. Not to mention they crazy game in Fiorentina, with all the crazy wind and being down twice and shit. Yes, that goal by Klose way clearly offside. But then again, in the 2nd leg Fiorentina did an offside goal as well (yet noone ever seems to mention that). Also, is the first leg would have been 1-1, you can't say that the 2nd leg would have been 2-3. It might have been a totally different game caused by different game plans.
Then, look at this:
We got the only 2 teams that might also win the 2 biggest national competitions this year. So they might both go for the triple in Madrid.
We also got 2 fantastic easter eggs: Mourinho used to work under Van Gaal. Now, him being one of the best coaches on the planet, he's going to match up with his former master in the CL Final. Isn't that cool?
What's even cooler is this: Real buys very big name players for very much money, only to go out in the 1/16 yet again. Because they thought Robben and Sneijder suck in comparison to their new players, they wanted to get rid of them. Now, those 2 dutch players immediately went from being Real Madrid rejects to being key players in 2 teams that take aim at the triple. And as the cherry on top, the CL Final takes place in Madrid this year. How cool is that? How embarrassing must this be for Real? It's amazing.
All in all a great final, even if you're not a fan of Bayern or Inter.

great for you, but not automatically great for every football fan.
well, the 'eastereggs' doesn't make it a great final (although the Real thing is really funny ;D) It'll be a great final if we happen to see good football and an intriguing game, and I doubt that'll be a spectacle for fans. Good to see a German team in the finals though.

Inter deserved to win, end of.
