Bayern Munich manager Louis van Gaal conceded Inter Milan had deserved their victory in the Champions League final after losing 2-0 to the Italian champions.
Bayern - the German double winners - had been chasing a treble but had there hopes dashed by Jose Mourinho's side, with Diego Milito scoring a brace.
The German side dominated much of possession but Van Gaal admitted his side had not been able to control the game.
"We were not good enough to impose our game," said the Dutchman.
"The timing of the goals was decisive. The players learned today that it comes down to small details."
The former Ajax coach did not think there was a great difference between the sides though and believes he side could have won.
"We attacked, Inter defended, but you have to be in great shape to beat Inter and we were not today.
"I still have the feeling that we could have won. There were no great difference."
