Two sides have battled their way through the cream of the crop in Europe and will face each other in Madrid on May 22nd.
Bayern Munich defeated Lyon 4-0 on aggregate and they will face an Inter Milan side who dethroned last year's champion Barcelona today with a 3-2 aggregate.
Bayern Munich may have to deal with the suspension of their French superstar Frank Ribery, but are in the process of appealing the ban. This may be huge in the final, as well as Inter Milan's Thiago Motta's suspension.
It will be a definite clash of styles and a breath of fresh air in European competition. This marks the first time in five years that an English side hasn't made their way to the final, and the first time a German squad has since Bayer Leverkusen in 2002.
The game takes place May 22nd at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.
