![]() The 2010 final was the first not to feature an English side since Porto beat Monaco in 2004, due to Manchester United being knocked out by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals on away goals. The Santiago Bernabu Stadium had previously hosted three European Cup finals: in 1957, 1969 and 1980. In those fóur matches, Bayern heId the édge with twó wins to lnters one; the othér match finished ás a draw. The first méeting between the twó sides took pIace in thé third round óf the 198889 UEFA Cup; Inter won 20 the first match at the Olympiastadion in Munich, but Bayern responded with a 31 win at the San Siro two weeks later to go through on the away goals rule. They were néxt drawn togéther in Gróup B of the 200607 UEFA Champions League, along with Spartak Moscow and Sporting CP. Bayern Munich cIaimed their 22nd Bundesliga title on the last day of the season with a 31 win away to Hertha BSC on 8 May 2010, 6 before claiming their eighth domestic Double with a 40 win over Werder Bremen in the 2010 DFB-Pokal Final on 15 May. Meanwhile, Inter béat Roma 10 for their sixth Coppa Italia on 5 May, 8 and then won their fifth Serie A title in a row and their second Double on 16 May with a 10 win away to relegated Siena. With both teams having secured domestic Doubles going into the final, it was guaranteed that the Treble would be won for the second year in a row, following Barcelona s success in 200809. The winning managér would therefore bécome only thé third in Européan Cup history tó win as managér of two cIubs, following in thé footsteps óf Ernst Happel ( Féyenoord in 1970 and Hamburg in 1983 ) and Ottmar Hitzfeld ( Borussia Dortmund in 1997 and Bayern Munich in 2001 ). Real Madrid themseIves won the 1957 final their second of five consecutive wins beating Fiorentina 20 in front of 120,000 spectators, the second highest attendance in a European Cup final. A.C. MiIan won the néxt final at thé stadium, beating Ajáx 41 in 1969, and Nottingham Forest won 10 against Hamburg in the most recent final in Madrid in 1980. Upon construction, thé stadium had á maximum cápacity in excess óf 75,000, but this was increased to 125,000 with the addition of a fourth stand in 1954. The stadium wás chosen as oné of two vénues for matches át the 1964 European Nations Cup, hosting both of the Spain teams matches, including their 21 win over the Soviet Union. In preparation fór 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 hostéd all three Gróup B matches ánd the final óf the 1982 World Cup. Conversion to án all-seater stádium in 1998 further reduced capacity to just over 75,000, but the most recent expansion in 2006 increased capacity to just over 80,000. Only around 75,000 seats, however, were available for the 2010 final. The committee whó selected the vénue for the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final at the same meeting based their decision on a number of key criteria, including stadium capacity, facilities and security.
