#2 Football! Bloody Hell: Manchester United\'s Champions League triumph in 1999

Sir Alex Ferguson transformed Manchester United into a supreme power in English football after taking over the club reins in 1986. United were winning league titles for fun since the start of the Premier League era and in 1998/99, they won the Premier League and the FA Cup.

At this point United were already through to the final of the Champions League after beating Juventus in the semi-final in a dramatic game. And a win over Bayern Munich in the final would give them a rare treble.

For the final, United were without first choice central midfielders Roy Keane and Paul Scholes as both were serving a suspension and this forced Ferguson to readjust his team. The Red Devils got off to a bad start after conceding in the sixth minute of the game. The Bavarians came close to doubling their lead on several occasions only to be denied by Peter Schmeichel, who was playing his last game for the club.

Ferguson soon subbed in Ole Solskjær and Teddy Sheringham. The game reached injury time at the end of the second half and United were still trailing by one goal. With very little time left on the clock, they won a corner for which goalkeeper Schmeichel also went up, but it was partially cleared by the Bayern defence. But it fell to Giggs who sent a low shot to Sheringham and his scuffed shot somehow went past Oliver Kahn in goal.

United won another corner immediately after the game restarted and David Beckham stepped up to take it again. Beckham found Sheringham, who nodded it to Solskjær, who in turn put the ball in the back of the net.

There were just seconds left to play at this point and United completed an epic comeback to win the game.
