Madrid -- Sulley Muntari's Inter Milan won the European soccer title for the first time in 45 years, beating Bayern Munich 2-0 Saturday night on a pair of goals by Diego Milito in the first Champions League final played on a weekend.
Muntari is the first Ghanaian to win the treble - the Italian league, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League - and the fourth Ghanaian to win the top European title after Abedi Pele (Marseille), Samuel Kufuor(Bayern Munich) and Ibrahim Tanko (Borussia Dortmund).
Milito opened the scoring for the Italian league and cup holders in the 35th minute and added a second 20 minutes from time to secure the treble for Jose Mourinho's side and give Inter their third Champions League triumph after successes in 1964 and 1965.
Muntari came on as a substitute with 15 minutes to go.
Inter become the first ever Italian side to win the Treble.
