Calm down, son. Stats aren't everything. There's too many strikers, I rate as better than him, to call him world class. If you think he is, fair enough.

I think he is easily the best finisher in the world

Ah right, you had me confused !

Rooney too I think.

Mr.Nice Guy

I think he was waving goodbye there to the Inter fans.

Party tune.

Interesting stat that. Not one Italian in the Inter starting eleven. What is more interesting is that all the talk is again about Jose. Which is fair enough but Millito got the two goals.
In years gone by you wouldn't have seen that.
Remember when Paisley had to be dragged up the steps to accept a trophy with Liverpool. Yes he was retiring but fact was Paisley let his players do the talking.
Jose craves attention far too much IMO. Which is a shame because it overshadows his achievements somewhat

Park i have to agree with Seaneh here

Milito is one of the best strikers around, he is unreal in the that lone striker role and with great finishing he really is up there with the best in my eyes

Absolutely love watching celebrations and seeing the players with their kids. Kind of brings back the human element to the whole situation. Thought it was class watching Motta and Milito with their children.


Fcuking disgrace that they showed Mourinho walking down steps onto the pitch for two minutes instead of concentrating on Zanetti/ Cambiasso/ and co celebrating with the trophy. You'd swear Mourinho was the sole reason they won at times. Pity, fair play to Inter though, Milito was boss. Amazing to think that this may have never come to pass if his agent wasn't so desperate that he threw his transfer paperwork into the window of an office on deadline day as the front door was closed :P (this was 2 seasons ago when he moved from Zaragoza to Genoa). One of the best finishers in the game for sure.

Delighted for the Inter fans. It's been a long road for them. I can remember '99, and it's some fcuking moment.

If he ran around with his lad in his hand and jacked off into Moratti's mouth in full view of the cameras his achievements wouldn't be overshadowed tbh. He can celebrate how he likes, he's earned it. He's brought the European cup to Internazionale for the first time since 1965. He can do what he likes.

Plus he hasn't done anything tonight to warrant your petty and ridiculous criticisms.

All managers are different personalities.

Jose likes to talk the talk.

But he walks the walk, a treble this season says it all.

Personally, I don't think the Italian league is very strong. Remember, Roma only finished 2 points behind Inter in the league.

Mourinhio is able to squeeze every last drop out of his players and he is tactically as good as it gets.

Lukker-

Mourinho is an amazing coach but I don't like the media attention. Inter's first European Cup in 45 years yet all the media attention is on the man.

He's up there with the best alright.

But Seaneh said he was easily the best finisher in the world.

Bit of a difference.

I'm guessing but I think davyjose is a Man Utd. fan and he's talking about how it feels when your team wins a treble. Inter were in Europe in 99, we went out of the CL to Utd.

The way I see the José media whore thing is this.

He is the focus of the media's attention, this takes a LOT of attention off the players and makes their lives a lot easier. There is a reason that almost every player who has ever played under him considers him like a family member. He looks after his players and treats them like they are all important and makes their lives easier. He makes them want to preform as good as they possibly can because otherwise they would be letting him down.

Genius if you ask me.

It continually amazes and astounds me that people STILL haven't copped onto the fact that all the top managers play this game week in week out. Jose is no different, he's just better at it than most.

Inter were great tonight. Let feck all past them. Bayern didn't deserve to be European Champions as much as Jose's bai's.

Fair play to Inter, felt really bad for Muncih they deserved more , but this is football.

Takes a brave man to second guess any Maradona starting line up giving how many players he used in qualifying!

Still, it's ridiculous that instead of the camera's showing Inter celebrate with the trophy they concentrated on Jose walking down the Bernabeu steps for about two minutes.

I don't know what it was about tonight but I just didn't care about the game at all. I don't know if it was the simple fact that I know that those two teams are not the best teams in Europe, that it was never going to be an exhibition of football or if it was the fact that it was on a Saturday night that put me off but whatever it was it just didn't do it for me at all.

Mourinho is a fantastic manager and fully deserves the title and some real legends of the game won their first CL medal tonight but I dunno, just doesn't feel like the right teams were in that final or something.

How many did he use, are you going with that full number that includes many 'B' Internationals when players that were involved in the Champion's League and the Copa Libertadores were not even considered?

I agree with that. But in fairnes you can't blame Jose for that. And in fairness to the TV directors, Jose is the man that everyone's taling about, including on here. And its their job to give peopel what they want.

Regardless, you can't blame Jose himself for the cameras being trained on him.

It's sad that the media are gonna praise Mourinho more than Inter.

Forget the exact number but it was a ridiculous amount, I'd be very impressed if anyone could name there starting line up for the first game and get 9/11 correct. This is very off topic

And as a result of it his teams don't face the same close scrutiny before big games as other teams, he soaks it all up and leaves them to play football.

As I said, oldest trick in the book.

Theres a big difference between doing what you have described, for the reasons you described and him craving media attention as SOTS rather stupidly alluded to earlier.

Don't think anyone can really argue with Inter's victory either, considering this campaign they had to K.O the Spanish, English, and German champions on route to the trophy.

Well done Inter Milan and Jose

Won some bets but overall ,uninspiring fare.

so recent success in europe (or lack thereof in chelseas case) determines who is a world class superpower. does that mean lyon are a bigger team than real madrid because they got further in europe last few years

only in soccer could a fan say two teams with 6 european cup and 5 uefa cups between em are not real superpowers compared to a club with none of those trophies

Good grief.

Ya, beside the fact that Jose loves being the centre of attention his teams are off topic leading up to a big match. It is basically Jose v whoever and that obviously helps the team regards the pressure is off them and it is all on the opposite team. In fairness hats off to the guy, to beat Chelsea, Barca and now Bayern - absolute phenonmen, phenonimen, phenonomen?

Another disappointment for Bayern after 99. At least this time all was 'fair and square' - the better side won no doubt. Not sure what it was - maybe Bayern was boxing above their weight in this CL final - maybe they just lost it to the best team this year.
Not a good day for German teams yesterday - need a little break from the games now

Delighted Inter won, they played to their strengths and executed their game plan perfectly. I always felt they were in control of the match.

Inter didn't KO the English champions, Bayern did. But I do agree that Inter were the best team in Europe this season. Fair play to them, they're a very committed and disciplined outfit.

I wasn't impressed with the quality of the tournament overall this year tbh. A bit meh...

Their copy of the rule book must have stated you only have to play well for 89 minutes then. That sucks!
