Just a year on from Barcelona's treble win in 2009, Inter Milan matched them and did so in some style as they put up one of the greatest defensive performances in history to triumph in the Champions League.

The Nerrazurri had earlier defeated AS Roma 1-0 in the final of the Coppa Italia, while also winning Serie A by a two-point margin over the same opponents.

On the continent, it was less straightforward, as the Italians were paired with defending champions Barcelona in the semifinal.

Back then, the Catalans were by far the most dominant club in the world and teams had to be at their A-game to defeat them.

Jose Mourinho knew that trying to attack Barcelona would end in a bad way for his side and as such, he conceded Barcelona's superiority, mounting a rearguard action that would e difficult to match again.

Over 180 minutes, Lucio and co kept Messi quiet as Barcelona probed in vain, being eliminated 3-2 on aggregate in front of their own fans.

In the final, Inter Milan came up against Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu and a Diego Milito brace was enough to hand them the trophy for the first time since 1965.
