That famous saying, ‘Death, taxes and…’ has thousands of variations, but one of the most cited every four years – in the time of the FIFA World Cup – is the one which emphasizes the fact regarding Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. Those two European powerhouses have had at least one representative in every single WC showdown since 1982! And the streak will continue to live 40 years on, on Sunday night in Doha.##EDITORS_CHOICE##When Guiseppe Bergomi, Gabriele Oriali, and Alessandro Altobelli (Inter) of Italy took on Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Paul Breitner, and Wolfgang Dremmler (Bayern) of West Germany during the 1982 FIFA World Cup final, they began perhaps the tournament’s most astonishing streak. Since then, indeed, every decider has involved at least a player apiece from Inter Milan and Bayern Munich.And let’s see the later tournaments…MEXICO ’86: 4Lothar Matthaus, Dieter Hoeness, Norbert Eder (Bayern)Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (Inter)Imagine scoring in a World Cup final and your celebration is a polite handshake with a teammate #1986 pic.twitter.com/qanF9NajbC— Oscar Holland (@oscarholland) December 9, 2022 ITALY ’90: 6Lothar Matthaus, Jurgen Klinsman, Andreas Brehme (Inter)Klaus Augenthaler, Jurgen Kohler, Stefan Reuter (Bayern)West Germany and Argentina line up before the 1990 World Cup Final. pic.twitter.com/RZj9O2Gn6b— 90s Football (@90sfootball) October 22, 2022 USA ’94: 2Nicola Berti (Italy)Jorginho (Bayern)FRANCE ’98: 3Bixente Lizarazu (Bayern)Ronaldo, Youri Djorkaeff (Inter)France line-up before the 1998 World Cup final. pic.twitter.com/IcRDniKLQn— 90s Football (@90sfootball) December 10, 2022 JAPAN/SOUTH KOREA ’02: 5Oliver Kahn, Carsten Jancker, Thomas Linke, Jens Jeremies (Bayern)Ronaldo (Inter)GERMANY ’06: 2Marco Materazzi (Inter)Willy Sagnol (Bayern)Zinedine Zidane’s red card after a headbutt on Marco Materazzi in 2006 World Cup Final which ended up being his last ever career game pic.twitter.com/8MQWbeoE5e— Iconic World Cup Moments (@WorldCupIconic) September 30, 2022 SOUTH AFRICA ’10: 3Mark Van Bommel, Arjen Robben (Bayern)Wesley Sneijder (Inter)BRAZIL ’14: 8Manuel Noyer, Jerome Boateng, Phillip Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller, Mario Gotze (Bayern)Rodrigo Palacio (Inter)On this day six years ago, Mario Götze, then at Bayern, came on as a sub in the 2014 World Cup Final and scored the winning goal to hand Germany its 4th World Cup title! pic.twitter.com/9hFc9xM8dB— Bavarian Tweets (@BavarianTweets) July 13, 2020 RUSSIA ’18: 3Marcelo Brozovic, Ivan Perisic (Inter)Corentin Tolisso (Bayern)If we only knew that Wednesday…QATAR ’22: ?This year, it is possible to see as many as five representatives of Bayern in the final if Croatia and France reach the showdown like in Russia four years ago. Pavard, Upamecano, Coman and Hernandez play for Les Bleus, and Stanisic for Croatia. In a potential duel between Morocco and Argentina, we will see only one Bayern player, Moroccan Nusair Mazraoui, who missed the quarter-final match against Portugal due to injury. As for Inter, we will see one footballer, and whether it will be Lautaro Martinez from Argentina or Brozovic from Croatia, we will find out on Tuesday.QATAR 2022 WORLD CUP1/2 FINALSTuesday22.00: (1.95) Argentina (3.40) Croatia (4.50)Wednesday22.00: (1.60) France (3.70) Morocco (7.50)***odds are subject to change
