shot being superbly tipped over one-handed by Butt.
That was a thrilling start to the second period and Bayern were enjoying plenty of possession as it sought an equaliser.
However, the Inter defence, like it was in the semi-final second leg against last season's European champions Barcelona, was proving tough to break down.
Robben almost managed it with a curling 20-yard effort that brought a brilliant save out of Julio Cesar, while Muller saw a goal-bound effort blocked by the head of Esteban Cambiasso.
Bayern were dominating possession but it was hit with the ultimate sucker punch in the 70th minute as Inter broke away to double its lead.
Milito still had plenty of work to do when he picked up Samuel Eto'o's pass 35 yards out but he superbly turned Daniel van Buyten inside out before coolly finishing past Butt.
There was no way back for Bayern after that as Inter held on to end its long wait for European football's top trophy and perhaps give Mourinho a winning send-off.
