What a night that was.
We're cursed in Europe, not unlike juventus.It was a rubbish game though, United should have buried Chelsea, before Lumpy boy equalised.
Pity we couldn't have got 1 more Trophy in that first Barcelona final, that was there for the taking.
It was 31 between the first and second.Never thought it would be at least 14 years until we win it again, more likely 20+ now.
You're absolutely right, it was early hours of the morning. I'll never forget moving towards the exit as JT stepped up, then he falls on his arse and at that moment I knew we'd win. What a feelingIf I recall correctly it was about 1 or 2 am by the time I got out of the ground, as they held the United fans back
the only bar we could find open was Hard Rock Cafe, stayed in there drinking until about 9am with everyone chanting non-stop for hours
amazing night!
It was 06/07 that I tend to regret more. If not for basically our entire defence getting injured (and Ronaldo also struggling with an ankle injury) we would have been extremely strong favourites to beat Milan and then Liverpool in the final. We were the best team in the world that season and it's frustrating that injuries robbed us of what we should have won.It was a rubbish game though, United should have buried Chelsea, before Lumpy boy equalised.

Confirmation and association bias I think. You remember kits more fondly because we won in them.I always felt that you could judge some level of performance by the quality of kit you wear.
I loved the kits we were wearing during those 3-4 years.
Well when you hold it to that standard anything else pails in comparison.Funny but the 99 CL final was a lot more memorable. I barely remember anything about this CL final other than Terry feckin up.
Why do we deserve nights like those?That night will stay with me for life.
It's a pity how far this club has fallen. Nights like these are what we deserve.
The Liverpool comeback surely tops it.Well when you hold it to that standard anything else pails in comparison.
The 99 cl win might have been the most extraordinary cl final ever.
I don't know , ours felt a lot more climactic considering that it also capped us winning the first British continental treble and I believe the first treble among the 4 major European leagues.The Liverpool comeback surely tops it.
Breathtaking scene, think it was also a pretty good save by Cech, right?That counter attack where tevez misses the diving header would've been one of the all time greatest cl goals
One end of the pitch to the other Rooney-Ronaldo-Tevez
I'm still gutted it didn't go in!
only if we win the europa conference next year and the europa the year after that!We'll be back one day...
