Here Press Association Sport looks at the key clashes which could decide the destination of the continent's biggest club prize.

IVICA OLIC v LUCIO

Inter centre-back Lucio will have a job on his hands keeping the in-form Olic at bay. The Bayern forward has netted five times in his last four appearances, including a hat-trick in the semi-final second leg as the German side eased past Lyon 4-0 on aggregate.

The Brazilian defender, who joined the Italian giants from Bayern in the summer, was also instrumental in his team's progress to the final, putting in a solid display at the heart of Inter's defence as the 10 men edged past favourites Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

CRISTIAN CHIVU v ARJEN ROBBEN

Winger Robben has been one of Europe's star performers this season and Inter manager Jose Mourinho will be keen for Chivu to nullify his threat. The former Chelsea star likes to cut inside from the right-hand side onto his favoured left foot and is a lethal finisher from range as Manchester United and Fiorentina found to their cost. His stunning 30-yard strike sent the Bavarians through to the quarter-finals on away goals and thunderous volley at Old Trafford ensured Bayern progressed to the semi-finals on the same ruling.

Romanian defender Chivu is a centre-back by trade but has been used as a full-back by Mourinho, helping the San Siro club clinch the Serie A title at the weekend.

WESLEY SNEIJDER v MARK VAN BOMMEL

The Dutch pair go head to head with both looking to win the midfield battle. Attack-minded Sneijder likes to get forward and is not afraid to shoot from distance. Van Bommel will have to pay close attention to his compatriot and play a disciplined role just in front of the back four.

The 33-year-old must be careful not to concede too many free-kicks around the edge of the penalty area because Sneijder is a dead ball specialist.
