There is one key factor to the Champions League final that I feel is being over looked. I know it is not going to be the difference on the pitch but there is an interesting dynamic between the two coaches that I feel will have a big impact on the game.
Jose, the Special One, learned all there is to know about football coaching from Van Gaal while they were together in Barca. Jose will be dying to beat his former master. It will be like a player who comes back to a club after being away for a period of time, they feel like they have something to prove.
This relationship is brilliant for the neutral when the player has left under 'stressed' circumstances and they want revenge to show how good they have become but Van Gaal and Jose left on good terms. This is why I think Bayern will win the game.
This will not be the prettiest final for the neutral but I see Bayern winning 2-1 with the little men Olic and Robben playing key roles. I think it would be great for the German's to win just so they can show you can run a club well within its means and still win the Champions League.
I won't give my probable line up but I think Bayern will score first. Inter will equalise and then Bayern will score again late in the second half!
