It was the first Champions League final to be played on a weekend, rather than the traditional Wednesday.Champions League final switched https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7120518.stm BBC Sport British Broadcasting Corporation 30 November 2007 24 May 2008 The match was won by Inter Milan, 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. That 45 years of await broke the record of the longest gap between two UCL titles, which was held by Real Madrid before, with 32 years (1966-1998). Moreover, it was Inter's first appearance in the final since 1972, and they were the first Italian team to appear in the showpiece match since rivals AC 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 Monaco in 2004 with José Mourinho also coaching the winning side, and due to Manchester United being knocked out by Bayern in the quarter-finals on away goals. This was also the first final to include two group runners-up, both Bayern and Inter finished second in group A and F, respectively. The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium had hosted three European Cup finals before; 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. The match was Inter's last game under the management of Mourinho as he would move to Real Madrid a few days after the match. Background Prior to the 2010 final, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan had met four times in European competition. In those four matches, Bayern held the edge with two wins to Inter's one; the other match finished as a draw. The first meeting between the two sides took place in the third round of the 1988–89 UEFA Cup; Inter won 2–0 the first match at the Olympiastadion 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; Inter 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.

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.
