Manchester United achieved immortality during the course of the 1998/1999 season as they became the first and till date the only English team to win a treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League.

They came into the campaign with limited expectations having finished the previous season trophyless, but the Red Devils defied expectations by going all the way in the three tournaments they contested.

The manifestation of United's never-say-die attitude was at its most glorious that season as the club overcame numerous difficult situations en route their spectacular success.

Arsenal engaged the Red Devils in an intense Premier League title race which was only settled on the last day by one point, while they saw off heavyweights, including Liverpool Chelsea and Arsenal in the FA Cup to set up a final clash with Newcastle which was won 2-0.

In the Champions League, they faced adversity in the semi-final as they found themselves 3-1 down on aggregate away to Juventus with less than 40 minutes remaining, but managed to scale through by winning 4-2 on the night.

They, however, saved their best for last, as they scored twice in injury-time to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Bayern Munch to complete their treble.
