Diego Milito scored both goals as Inter Milan sealed an historic treble and ended a 45-year wait to be crowned kings of Europe with a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in Madrid.
Milito struck in the 34th and 70th minutes as Inter became the first Italian team to win the treble of league, cup and European Cup in the same season, while ending German double-winners Bayern’s hopes of doing likewise.
The victory was the third time Inter have won the trophy, following their successes in 1964 and 1965, and could also have marked a winning farewell for coach Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese, who becomes only the third coach to win the European Cup with different clubs, has been the subject of intense speculation linking him with a summer move to Real Madrid.
Mourinho left Porto for Chelsea soon after leading them to the 2004 Champions League title.
