Unexpected

Football is full of surprise. And that's what just happened in Champions League.

In the beginning of the season, I'm sure few people predicted both Bayern and Inter to go to the Champions League final. Without disrespecting Bayern and Inter, I have to said they were struggling, even from the group stage. Even when the Quarter Final drawing has been made, many people and pundits said, the 2008/2009 final would be repeated once more: Barca vs Man. Utd in final.

Bayern almost eliminated in the Group A, but they showed great mentality, and beat Juventus 4-1 in away games on the last matchday, forcing Juventus to only get the ticket to the Europa League. On the Last-16, they need away goals rule and also an offside-goal to overcome Fiorentina. Robben's great goal seals the ticket despite losing 2-3 on Artemio Franchi. Because Bayern won 2-1 on Allianz Arena, and away goals rule made them go through.

On the quarterfinal, they faced on-form Manchester United. With Wayne Rooney was in an excellent form, Man. Utd was heavily favoured. But, Bayern, once again, succeeded to get to next round, with the same score, losing 2-3 on away games, after winning 2-1 on home. Again, it was Arjen Robben who scored another amazing goal to make Bayern reach the last Four

On semifinal, it wasn't really hard for Bayern to overcome Lyon. Lyon is a great team, but they mentally lose agains Bayern. Bayern reach the final again from the first time since 2001, with 4-0 aggregate. But this time, the hero isn't Arjen Robben, but hattrick-scorer Ivica Olic.

Inter doesn't have too different way, despite having a very good squad, they were put on the same group as Barcelona. And they sealed the last 16 ticket on the last matchday, defeating Rubin Kazan 2-0.

On the last 16, Inter faced Chelsea. Having an inconsistency in Serie A, Inter was slight underdog on that match. However, Jose Mourinho's genius tactical skill made Chelsea unable to win the game, even losing both home and away, 1-2 and 0-1.

Quarterfinal wasn't really hard for Inter. Being drawed against CSKA Moscow, Inter, once again winning the match home and away with the same score, 1-0.

The real test for Inter was the semifinal. Facing defending Champions Barcelona, they again become slight underdog. Inter and Barca had already met on the group stage and Inter never won on two occasion, only gets scoreless draw on home and losing 0-2 on away. But, Inter showed what 'catenaccio' is. Barca couldn't do much, and only get two goals from two match, losing 1-3 on Guiseppe Meazza, winning 1-0 in Camp Nou. And the defending Champions is dethroned.

I didn't say this is a bad Champions League Final. Champions League Final would be interseting, regradless of the playing team in the final.

Inter is a very strong team, they actually have great offensive power. Sneidjer, Stankovic, Eto'o, Milito, Pandev, Balotelli isn't just an ordinary player. The defense is even stronger, with Lucio and Walter Samuel in the heart of the defense, they hardly penetrable. Don't forget "The Special One", Jose Mourinho, as the manager . He is a genius in football.

Bayern is also a good team. Louis Van Gaal has united them into a good team. Without relying on one player. Second-leg semifinal showed they aren't depended on Ribery. Olic could be the trump card for the Bavarian.

Now, just hope Inter don't play defensively, and we could see a great entertainment on the Final of the Champions League. Just wait a month..
