I still think Inter was a more complete team, the best defensive side, and deadly on counter attack with Milito. Real Madrid is better on attack but their defense is very shaky as you said. Hell, that Inter even kicked Barcelona's ass.
Bayern lost the final weeks before. van Gaal's Bayern was a side that didn't know how to defend, most teams usually scored at least 2 goals against us but we were good on attack (making 3 or 4 goals to win those matches).
In the final, Ribéry couldn't play because of a red card. Altintop was the only backup we had back then. We played with Badstuber as LB(!!!!!!!), Demichelis and DvB as CBs(!!!!!) and with 0 tactics for the defense from van Gaal.
