2010 UEFA Champions League Final
Encyclopedia
The 2010 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium
, home of Real Madrid
, on Saturday, 22 May 2010, to determine the winners of the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League. It was the first Champions League final to be played on a Saturday, rather than the traditional Wednesday. The match was won by Internazionale
, who beat Bayern Munich
2–0 to complete the Treble, a feat never before achieved by any team from either Italy or Germany. The refereeing team came from England and was led by Howard Webb
.
The win gave Inter their third European Cup title, and their first since 1965
; moreover, it was their first appearance in the final since 1972
, and they were the first Italian team to appear since Milan
won the competition in 2007
. Meanwhile, Bayern had won the competition as recently as 2001
– their most recent final appearance – although they were the first German side to reach the final since Bayer Leverkusen in 2002
. The 2010 final was the first not to feature an English side since Porto beat AS Monaco
in 2004
. The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium had previously hosted three European Cup finals: in 1957
, 1969
and 1980
.
As the winners, Inter played against 2009–10 UEFA Europa League winners Atlético Madrid in the 2010 UEFA Super Cup
, and also entered the semi-finals of the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup
.
in Munich, but Bayern responded with a 3–1 win at the San Siro two weeks later to go through on the away goals rule
. They were next drawn together in Group B of the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League, along with Spartak Moscow
and Sporting CP. The first match between Bayern and Inter was played at the San Siro, where Bayern won 2–0; the return match finished as a 1–1 draw.
Both teams went into the final chasing the Treble, an achievement never before reached by teams from their respective countries; Internazionale came closest in 1965, when they won the Serie A and the European Cup
but lost 1–0 to Juventus
in the Coppa Italia final. Bayern Munich claimed their 22nd Bundesliga
title on the last day of the season with a 3–1 win away to Hertha BSC on 8 May 2010, before claiming their eighth domestic Double
with a 4–0 win over Werder Bremen
in the 2010 DFB-Pokal Final on 15 May. Meanwhile, Internazionale beat Roma
1–0 for their sixth Coppa Italia on 5 May, and then won their fifth Serie A title in a row and their second Double on 16 May with a 1–0 win away to relegated Siena
. With both teams having secured domestic Doubles going into the final, it was guaranteed that the Treble would be won for the second year in a row, following Barcelona
's success in 2008–09.
The managers of both teams had won the Champions League before: Bayern manager Louis van Gaal
won the competition with Ajax in 1995
, while Inter's José Mourinho
was manager of Porto's 2004
side. The winning manager would therefore become only the third in European Cup history to win as manager of two different clubs, following in the footsteps of Ernst Happel (Feyenoord in 1970
and Hamburg
in 1983
) and Ottmar Hitzfeld
(Borussia Dortmund
in 1997
and Bayern Munich in 2001 UEFA Champions League Final
). It was the fifth final in European Cup history in which both managers were previous winners; the others were in 1962
, 1978
, 2002
and 2007
. It was the first Champions League final where neither of the finalists exited the group stage as group winners.
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium
had previously hosted three European Cup finals: in 1957
, 1969
and 1980
. Real Madrid
themselves won the 1957 final – their second of five consecutive wins – beating Fiorentina
2–0 in front of 120,000 spectators, the second highest attendance in a European Cup final. Milan
won the next final at the stadium, beating Ajax 4–1 in 1969, and Nottingham Forest
won 1–0 against Hamburg
in the most recent final in Madrid in 1980.
The stadium was opened in 1947 following the election of Santiago Bernabéu
as the president of Real Madrid. Upon construction, the stadium had a maximum capacity in excess of 75,000, but this was increased to 125,000 with the addition of a fourth stand in 1954. The stadium was chosen as one of two venues for matches at the 1964 European Nations' Cup, hosting both of the Spain
team's matches, including their 2–1 win over the Soviet Union. In preparation for the 1982 FIFA World Cup
, FIFA requirements forced renovations to the stadium, adding a canopy to three of the four stands and reducing the capacity to 90,800. The stadium hosted all three Group B matches and the final of the 1982 World Cup. Conversion to an all-seater stadium in 1998 further reduced capacity to just over 75,000, but the most recent expansion in 2006 increased capacity to just over 80,000. However, only around 75,000 seats were available for the 2010 final.

was selected as the venue for the 2010 UEFA Champions League Final at a meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee in Vaduz
, Liechtenstein
, on 28 March 2008. The committee – who selected the venue for the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final at the same meeting – based their decision on a number of key criteria, including stadium capacity, facilities and security. It had previously been decided that the final would be played on a Saturday for the first time in Champions League history at the UEFA Executive Committee's meeting in Lucerne
, Switzerland
, on 30 November 2007.
The unique visual identity of the 2010 final was revealed at a special ceremony at Madrid's Ciudad del Fútbol Español on 20 November 2009. In attendance at the ceremony were final ambassador Emilio Butragueño
, Royal Spanish Football Federation president Ángel María Villar Llona and UEFA's competitions director Giorgio Marchetti. UEFA has given the Champions League final a unique visual identity every year since 1999, in order to give "a distinctive flavour of the host city". The logo features the UEFA Champions League trophy at its core, surrounded by elements of the Champions League "starball" logo, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and the Puerta de Alcalá
. The logo was designed to capture "the cultural and 'fiesta' aspects which Madrid is famed for".
A trophy handover ceremony was held at the Palacio de Cibeles in Madrid on 16 April 2010, when Johan Cruyff
and Joan Laporta
– as representatives of the 2009 champions, Barcelona
– returned the UEFA Champions League Trophy to UEFA president Michel Platini
. Platini then handed the trophy to Royal Spanish Football Federation president Ángel María Villar Llona and Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón
, the mayor of Madrid, so that it might be put on display in the city until the day of the final. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez
, players Raúl
, Kaká
and Cristiano Ronaldo
, and final ambassador Emilio Butragueño were also present at the ceremony.
A ticketing launch event was held in Madrid on 5 March 2010, at which the ticketing concept for the final was announced. The event was also used to promote the start of ticket sales for the match, and was attended by the ambassador for the final, Emilio Butragueño
, the president of the Community of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre
, and representatives from UEFA
, the Royal Spanish Football Federation and the host club, Real Madrid
. At the event, Aguirre was presented with the first ticket for the final by Real Madrid players Cristiano Ronaldo
and Raúl
.
Madrid was unveiled on 9 March 2010. It was the tenth ball to use the "Starball" design that had become synonymous with the UEFA Champions League. Each of the stars on the ball featured an element of the logos of each of the last 10 Champions League finals, drawn in gold. In reference to the colours of the Spanish flag
, each gold star has a red border, while the base colour of the ball referred to the white of Real Madrid
's kit. The ball retained the "goosebump" texture of the previous two versions, but the panel configuration was changed for the Finale Madrid, with each star in the design being on a single panel.
The referee for the 2010 UEFA Champions League Final was Howard Webb
, representing The Football Association
of England. Webb became an international referee in 2005, and took charge of his first UEFA Champions League match in the August of that year, when he officiated the match between Haka
and Vålerenga in the second qualifying round. His first appointment in the Champions League proper came a year later with the group stage encounter between Steaua Bucureşti and Lyon
on 26 September 2006. Prior to the 2010 final, he had refereed a further 17 Champions League matches and nine UEFA Cup matches. He was also a referee at UEFA Euro 2008, the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup
, and he was selected to be England's representative at the 2010 FIFA World Cup
.
As usual, the referee was supported by assistant referees and a fourth official from the same country; in the 2010 final, Howard Webb was assisted by Darren Cann and Mike Mullarkey, with Martin Atkinson
as the fourth official.

, in the 35th and 70th minutes. Milito's first was scored following a long clearance by Inter goalkeeper, Julio Cesar, flicked down by Milito to Wesley Sneijder
, who returned the pass to Milito to score. Milito's second goal came after he collected a pass from Samuel Eto'o
and beat Daniel van Buyten with the ball. Milito was substituted shortly before the end of the match, allowing him to be applauded by the Inter supporters. After the match, Milito stated the win brought "incredible happiness" and claimed his side deserved its victory. Bayern captain Mark van Bommel
conceded Inter was the "most effective team", referring to the success of Inter's counter-attacking tactics. José Mourinho revealed after the match that he would likely resign from Inter to pursue the goal of being the first manager to win the Champions League with three clubs. Reports had linked him with a move to Real Madrid
