The history books are open and are ready to be written for the winner of the Champions League final on 22nd May.
Both Inter Milan and Bayern Munich will be looking to make history in the Santiago Bernabeu as they both look to do the treble for the first time.
Neither team has had a lot of joy in Europe in recent years, but they will both be looking to end that after already winning their respected leagues and domestic cups.
Bayern Munich will go into the final as slight underdogs as it was Inter who knocked out Barcelona in the last round.
Bayern Munich didn't exactly have an easy passage to the final, as they knocked out Manchester United and Lyon on the way.
The battle between the two sides should be close, with both teams possessing gaming winning players and world class tacticians in their managers.
There are a number of key battle on and off the field which will decide the outcome of the game.
The battle between Mourinho and van Gaal will surely be the decisive battle, whoever gets the upper hand in the tactical battle will give their team the best chance match Once the team talks are over then there is very little the managers can do, both of them must have faith in their players to carry out what they have asked of them.
One of the managers may win the battle for their team but it is down to the players on the pitch to win the War.
These are some of the key battles within the war: 1)Diego Milito v Daniel Van Buyten - Diego Milito has scored against Chelsea and Barcelona to get Inter to the final and he will be hoping to carry on his good form before the world cup.
Milito possesses great finishing abilities and a good turn of pace, he is a handful for any centre back, and it will be Daniel Van Buyten job to stop the Argentine striker form getting on the score sheet.
Van Buyten is a solid old fashioned centre half that will have no problems taking man and ball if he has to.
2)Wesley Sneijder v Mark Van Bommel - This could be the battle that decides the tie, the two Dutch men head to head, the defensive Van Bommel will have to stop Inters playmaker.
The Inter star will be hoping to show the Bernabeu what a mistake they made when they sold him to Inter last summer.
Can the old man stop the young opponent and win the tie for his team, or will the youth overcome experience.
3)Lucio v Ivica Olic - The Brzilian defender has managed to contain both Drogba and Ibrahimovic in the last 2 rounds of the Champions League, but he is now up against a goal poacher.
The previous 2 tasks were players that like to play in front of him but Olic will look to run in behind and be there to tap in any chances.
Lucio will have to be on top form and always aware if he is to stop the little Croatian.
The winners of the battles on the pitch will decide the match.
With each player wanting to perform to the best of their ability to win the cup for their fans you can be sure that the game will be a spectacle to behold.
