Bayern 0 – Mourinho 2

Jose Mourinho won his second European cup at the weekend with a victory against Bayern Munich at the Bernabau stadium.

Just over 80,000 people were there to witness Inter carry out a smash and grab on the German Champions, who must wonder just what else they need to do to to get their hands back on the trophy.
Bayern dominated possession, had more shots, piled on pressure but just could not break through to punish Inter and perhaps that is why Inter so deserved this win.

Milito secured his place in the history books by grabbing the 2 goals that must have felt like hot irons being pushed into the hearts of the Bayern players.

Those of you wondering if Argentina will have enough strength and will to cause a shock at this years world cup will have had your spirits lifted by the Argentinian Milito. Maradonna has an abundance of attacking footballers available to him and could resort to a 4-3-3 for some games which could see Milito, Tevez and Messi running at defences together.

Mourinho brought off Milito in injury time so the classy forward could receive a standing ovation from the Inter faithful. Don’t be surprised to see Mourinho making an offer for the Argentines services next season.

This match though was as much about Mourinho as it was about football. Tactically he is at times flawless, nobody can deny how well Inter have defended through this competition, even down to 10 men against the fancied Barcelona, Inter held on to win through to this crowning moment.
The Bernabau could well be the home ground of Mourinho next season, and he certainly made himself at home here on Saturday. Real Madrid hope to take him as their head coach before the World Cup and then hand him a blank cheque to help Real finally wrestle the Spanish title away from Barca next year.

David Villa joins Barcelona – Real Madrid could go for Torres

David Villa has reportedly completed a £34.2m move from Valencia to Barcelona.
He will be unveiled as a Barcelona player on Friday.

The Catalan club where keen to strengthen after dropping out of this years Champions League cup at the semi final stage. This signing is a huge coup for them. Villa has been linked with every top club in Europe in recent years, and Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid, all clubs which have expressed past interest, will sit up and take note of this sign of intent from Barcelona.

has signed a four-year deal and is the first summer capture for the Catalan club, with Cesc Fabregas also said to be a target.

The Spain international who was the top scorer at Euro 2008 despite missing the final through injury, is due in Barcelona on Thursday and is booked for a medical. Villa has signed a four-year deal and is the first summer capture for the Catalan club, with Cesc Fabregas also said to be a target.

His arrival at Barcelona is likely to lead to increased speculation over the futures of strikers Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, although Ibrahimovic scored 21 goals this season. Henry has already been linked with a possible lucrative move to the USA.

Real Madrid will surely see the combination of Messi and Villa as a huge threat for next season and are already in the process of sourcing a top striker themselves. Benzema is likely to leave and Real reportedly will spend up to £40 million for the right man, although there will be no repeat of last years mega spending spree. Could Torres be the target? Chelsea and Manchester City are reportedly ready to sign the Liverpool striker but Real Madrid could spoil the party and offer him a dream move to his native Spain.
