In fact, the two teams have met 5 times in the history of the three major European cups. Bayern Munich has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, evenly matched with the Inter Milan. The goals scored and conceded are also tied, with Bayern scoring 6 goals and conceding 6. However, Bayern's performance away is exceptionally outstanding; they have won both games, scoring 5 goals and conceding only 1. In the 2006-07 season Champions League group stage, Bayern won 2-0 away and drew 1-1 at home. In the 1988-89 season UEFA Cup round of 16, Bayern lost 0-2 at home but triumphed 3-1 away. Last season, Bayern eliminated Manchester United in the Champions League, avenging their stunning reversal by the Red Devils in the 1999 Champions League final. This time, can Bayern replicate such a perfect revenge? Revenge for a gentleman is never too late. The scenes from last season's Champions League final where Milito scored twice to outwit Bayern are still vivid. After a year, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich meet again in the knockout stage of the Champions League, only this time it's in the Round of 16. A golden opportunity, the current Bayern hasn't changed much from last season, whereas Inter Milan has long since faded from its Triple Crown glory. For the Bundesliga giant, this is the best chance to avenge their humiliating defeat against Inter Milan at the Bernabeu. Without a doubt, the Bayern president undoubtedly hopes that fans don't have to spend too much to travel to the Allianz Arena to cheer for Bayern. Rummenigge hopes Bayern will crush their opponents at home and ultimately eliminate the defending champions over two legs! The opponents from last season's Champions League final clash again, with German media unanimously supporting Bayern to achieve perfect revenge. German "Sport Bild" believes that this is precisely the result Bayern was waiting for. They have a great opportunity to avenge their loss in the May Madrid Champions League final. Moreover, the schedule of playing away first and then at home can help Bayern join Bundesliga brother Schalke 04 in advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals. "Kicker" states that Bayern's revenge comes faster than expected. To advance further in the Champions League, Bayern must give it their all. Sport1 website believes that 209 days after the Bernabeu Champions League final, Bayern and Inter reunite. In March next year, the Allianz Arena will witness the final determination of one of the eight spots. "Bild" is straightforward: Bayern's chance for retribution has come! The first leg between Bayern and Inter will take place on February 24th Beijing Time. Regarding facing an Inter Milan without Mourinho once more, Bayern coach Van Gaal stated, "I think this draw isn't bad. We still have some unfinished business with Inter Milan. Almost all players who participated in the Champions League final are still here. We don't have to travel far to face Inter, and this won't affect our league." Rummenigge said, "This is a chance to settle accounts." Schweinsteiger then said, "This is a fantastic draw. I'm very happy to meet my old friend Lucio again, he's a tough nut to crack. But I still firmly believe we'll make it to the quarterfinals." In fact, this is the unanimous sentiment of all Bayern Munich fans. According to reports from multiple German media, within less than four hours after the draw ceremony ended last night Beijing Time, all tickets for Bayern's home game against Inter were sold out. It seems that the die-hard Munich fans can't wait to see Bayern thrash the once-mighty European empress on their home turf. According to the schedule, Bayern's home game against Inter will be held at the Allianz Arena on March 16th Beijing Time. The Bayern club claimed that within less than four hours after the draw, all 60,000 tickets for this game had been sold. Surprisingly, Bayern did not increase the ticket prices for this match. Instead, they kept them at a "reasonable level." Bayern club president Rummenigge expressed to the media and fans, "This is our way of thanking the fans who have consistently supported the club and team."
