Amazing share! Weird to see footage like this from a pre-2000s match.

That's amazing.
What are the odds of not filming the first 85 minutes, but having a feeling something was on the cards so deciding to film the last 5?
The undiluted joy that you can hear in those mad howls near the end 
Brilliant.
You usually get pelters for whipping out your phone at a crucial set piece nowadays too. I’ve only filmed one penalty and it was missed, after we had already missed the first one one that match! Never again.
Being there, not to mention capturing it just behind Oli Kahn's goal... stuff of legends.
That's great
As an aside - I was at a gig on the weekend and someone had a mini digital camera... it felt like a proper throwback.

Fantastic. 23 years? Feels like yesterday.
On a similar theme (not as good), I remember finding this video of a camera man on the pitch who just happened to be perfectly positioned for Oles goal celebration.
Good times..

And yet he pans away and misses it. Hope he lost his job.
Best United related clip I've seen since Sir Alex movie.
I’ll write to EUFA
Its possible he didn’t catch if the header went in without a touch so when Ole and Sheringham ran towards him, he wasn’t 100% on whose goal it was?
I remember Collina trying to get the Bayern players up and failing (2’ 35“)… good times.
That actually brought tears to my eyes. The glory days
My aunt and uncle left this game 5 minutes early. Dickheads
Excellent to see considering it was 1999 and camera phones were still a long way off.
The ecstacy!
Also how outnumbered were the bayern fans? Almost looks like an United home game by the sounds of it.

Collina trying to wake the bayern players up
What a club and what a moment would have loved to be there or in Moscow.
would have loved to be there or in Moscow.Hard to believe its 23 years ago tonight. A moment and feat that will be hard matched by another English team.
A happy birthday to Matt Busby and less said about what happened on this day last year the better..

Same. Can barely watch old footage these days. Just bums me out.
I’ve put 26 May 1999 in a box now. I know it’s a bit joyless, but I think it’s about time we stop reminiscing so much and get our shit together. Us walking around talking about 99 all the time is starting to become a little cringe now, and just underlines us as yesterday’s news.
Great footage. Happy times!
Ha my dad was mates with the guy who filmed this. He brought this vid around to show us when he got back. So weird to see it on here all of a sudden.
That video gives a bit more credit to Schmeichel, never realised he made a late sprint like that, definitely enough to make the Bayern defender not head away effectively
Pfft, don't see the appeal personally.
this result or the final loss against Chelsea, which is worse?
Yes
TRA crying right now at the sight of a recording device I’d imagine
He recorded it all mate this just sounds better
Beat the traffic to get home was it?
Amigo, amazing footage!!!
Good thing the first 85 minutes weren't filmed. We got the shit battered out of us. How we ended up winning that match will boggle minds for all eternity.

This brings back such a flood of memories. Me and my mates took a chance and flew to Barcelona without a place to stay out ticket for that matter. That ended in the best night of our lives. Fantastic stuff that.
One of my best memories, being there in the stadium with Niall.
It was something like that. Leaving 5 minutes early I think was the difference somehow in whether they'd have to stay an extra night in Barcelona.Beat the traffic to get home was it?
Not another night in Barcelona!
Ryanair putting our flight back 24 hours due to a strike a few years ago was a lovely treat, as we got a nice room and meal at their expense with some more sightseeing.
And I have you to thank for being there! Once in a lifetime experience.
23 years, hard to believe.
This is priceless
Just incredible to see that footage from when it was before digital devices and social media even came to exist.
1:24 of exactly why we support United. Wonderful stuff.
p.s - I love the retro date in the bottom right corner. I swear my dads minicam was the most amazing thing when I was a kid. Size of a shoebox mind
