I cant believe it. I am still a little rattled. Inter has won the Champions League - for the first time in 45 years. In addition to this historic achievement, Inter has completed the treble - something no other Italian team has managed to do... EVER.
Was it worth the wait? I think so
There were definitely some hairy moments - Julio Cesar earned his pay today - but I think the result speaks for itself. Bayern 0-2 Inter. It was a team effort, but this man proved today that he is no longer a prince, he is a king:
Diego Milito - King of Europe
I was worried when Marco came on, but after all those years he deserves this as much as any one.
I love them both so much
And Lucio, he had some issues, but good to see he still loves Jesus (and note the color scheme - he thinks of everything!)
Lucio loves Jesus, with a nerazzuri feel.
But most of all, for me, this was about Zanetti. After 700 games, 15 years, blood, sweat, tears; the ups and downs; the terrible years and the last-minute heartbreak. For me, this is for Javier Zanetti. Pupi, you deserve this.
This is for you, Pupi
Moratti has had his share of ups and downs but he has always believed in the team, believed in the dream. He has poured his heart and soul (and a considerable amount of his own money) into this team, and I thank him for it. Of all the Italian presidents, I like him the best (but he really should fix those teeth).
See what happens when you get a good coach then let him do his job?
Maicon did not get a goal, but he played a good game. Clearly, he loves this trophy.
Dont worry, no one can take this night away from you
And, by request, a little Argie Manlove:
Milito and Cambiasso - gotta love the love
And the obligatory Toldo/Zanetti celebration - although they have certainly taken it to the next level for the big game. Just dont drop him!
New moves for the Big Game
Ok, I will post highlights and such when they are available. If anyone has any good links, please post them below. This has been an enormously satisfying season and I thank you all for coming here and sharing it with me.
Grazie Tante a Tutti
FORZA INTER
