Today the greatest achievement of Manchester United.
On this day, 18 years ago, on May 26, 1999, the Camp Nou hosted one of the most incredible final matches of the Champions League.
Manchester United met with the Munich Bayern Munich. These teams played twice in the group stage and both times failed to find out which one is stronger.
In the semi-final Alex Ferguson's wards passed Juventus, after an away win with a score of 3-2, while Bayern was stronger than Dynamo Kiev.
The final fight started for Otmar Hitzfeld's team is just fine - Mario Basler deceived Peter Schmeichel with a free-kick in the 6th minute.
In the second half Bavarians had several opportunities to increase the score, but MJ saved the bar and crossbar. Probably that day was the Day of the Red Devils, otherwise how to explain what happened in Pierluigi Collina's time?.
At the 91st minute Teddy Sheringham, after a mess in the penalty area, managed to push the ball into the net of Oliver Kahn's goal, and two minutes later David Beckham filed a corner, all the same Sheringham badly struck. But at the far post, Ole Gunnar Solskher, who came out on the field from the bench, substituted his leg.
In that season Manchester United won both the championship of England and the Cup, having issued thus Trable - the first among commands of the top-5 championships.
