The 2010 UEFA Champions League Final was the final football match of the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League, played on Saturday, 22 May 2010. It was contested by Bayern Munich and Internazionale (Inter) and the 18th final of the UEFA Champions League under the current format and the 55th in total. The match was won 2–0 to Inter, and won their first UEFA Champions League title in 45 years. The game was played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home of Real Madrid.[2] Due to Inter winning the 2010 title, they completed the Treble, a feat never before achieved by any team from either of their two countries.
The match was Inter's first appearance in a European Cup/Champions League final since losing in 1972, while Bayern's last appearance was as winners in 2001. It was the first time in five years that an English team was not present in the final. It is also the first final to be played on a Saturday rather than the traditional Wednesday.[3]
The winners will play against Atlético Madrid, the winners of the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final, in the 2010 UEFA Super Cup, and also enter the semi-finals of the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup.
