Sitting around a Just Eat table in the majestic den of San Siro, Marco Materazzi and Wesley Sneijder reminisced about the golden years of Inter, particularly the 2009-2010 season that saw the Nerazzurri win the Serie A, the Champions League, and the Coppa Italia.

The Italian particularly reflected on his special relationship with José Mourinho. "I ended my career with him, it was an honor for me to be in that team. At the end of the previous season, he told me 'Do you want to stay? You won't play all the matches, but you're important for the team. If you want, I'll get you to sign a new contract. Take your time, think about it.' We hung up and I called him back two minutes later to tell him I wanted to be in. And I won the treble with Wesley and this incredible team."

The two stars also revealed their special Champions League five-a-side team. "I often get asked this question and I always change teams, because I've played with so many good players," explains Sneijder. "We're at San Siro, so today I'm only choosing Nerazzurri. Julio Cesar in goal, Marco Materazzi in defense, Stankovic and myself in the middle and Diego Milito up front."

And Materazzi to bounce back: "Wesley plays for the win, me, it's for fun (laughs). I put Julio Cesar in goal, Carles Puyol in defense, Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi in the middle and Ronaldo Fenomeno up front."

Two teams that make your mouth water...
