CONGRATULATIONS INTER MILAN!

Winning the Champions League 2-0 against Bayern Munich have given them the honour to be the best in Europe. I have expected Inter Milan to win and rightfully so. Milito's double sealed the win but it was also the creativity and decisive strategies of Sneijder and Eto'o which made it possible. Sneijder and Eto'o are Real Madrid's and Barcelona's invaluable assets which are discarded with much regret. If both of them had stayed back in their respective clubs, Inter Milan may not be the club to be crowned champions of Europe today.
