Inter, Bayern hunt for glory in an evenly-matched Champions League final
Inter, Bayern hunt for glory in an evenly-matched Champions League final
'Nobody starts as favourites'
Tonight's Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Inter will be quite a special match for Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. The current Bayern president enjoyed a successful spell at the Italian side during his active career and still fondly looks back at his time with Inter.

"I have very fond memories of an extremely happy time in Milan, although in footballing terms, it wasn't particularly successful. We failed to win a trophy," said Rummenigge on the Bayern website.
"Inter represent the highest quality in Europe nowadays. They're a very good, very well-run club, with an exceptional coach. But despite all that, Bayern have a decent chance to lift the Champions League trophy on Saturday.
"I expect a fifty-fifty game and an evenly-matched encounter. Form on the day will be decisive. I don't have a problem with the Italian press installing Inter as favourites. I have the feeling it'll inspire our team even more. When we discussed the favourites at the start of the season, neither Inter nor Bayern came up. But both clubs deserve it, because both have been fantastic this season."
