Came here to say that FA Cup final around 8 years ago against Arsenal. I now realise it was over 15 years ago...
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
It was payback for the earlier game in the 1st group phase.United absolutely battered Arsenal in 2005 in the FA Cup final and ended up losing on penalties. That one stands out for me.
On the flip side, there was the small matter of a final in Barcelona in 1999 we were quite fortunate to win...albeit we did well to hang on in the game with our best two players missing
You what?Chelsea 2008 UCL Final. Better team overall by far.
You might be baiting but if I was Bayern I would be thinking of this and 2012 they should of won bothBayern Munich, 1999 UCL final
Bait
I watched the full match recently and too fair we went 1-0 up had chances to make it 2 then they were the better side. They probably should of won they hit the post the bar and missed a winning penalty. It made it so sweet but we where 2nd best I feelYou what?
This.Premier League. 2012.
Can't argue with that.You might be baiting but if I was Bayern I would be thinking of this and 2012 they should of won both
It was a very balanced final mate. Not a chance they were “the better team overall by far”.I watched the full match recently and too fair we went 1-0 up had chances to make it 2 then they were the better side. They probably should of won they hit the post the bar and missed a winning penalty. It made it so sweet but we where 2nd best I feel
Absolutley, it doesn't matter how many chances you have/miss/are saved, if you didn't score the goals you didn't win, and dont deserve to.If they deserved to have won it they'd have won it. I don't see the point you are making. If you're the better team you win the game.
I agree with all of these.UCL finals since I started following football:
Bayern 1999
Milan 2005
Chelsea 2008
Bayern 2012
I always thought this, but I recently rewatched the game and we created so many chances in the last half hour. Everyone just remembers Bayern hitting the woodwork twiceNah 2008 was pretty much dead even and deserved to go to penalties on balance of play. 99 on the other hand Bayern were the better side for 90 minutes.
you even don't know the date of this final.it was in 2005.Sporting should of won the UEFA cup final in 04.
They lost to a farmer club CSKA moskow.
And they got one of the luckiest goals in CL final history, 2 deflections and fell perfect for fat FrankPeople saying Chelsea 08 should have been out the match at half time.
No that’s what I mean when I say make it 2-0 as we should of put them to bed early where we were bossing it and they only equalised because VDS slipped but when they did make it 1-1 they were the better side. It was only a example I feel it wasn’t a Chelsea-Barca(the one Chelsea should of had 10 penalties) or us against Arsenal FA cup but overall I thought we were 2nd best. As I said though made it amazing especially with terry missing the winning penalty it was just dream stuffIt was a very balanced final mate. Not a chance they were “the better team overall by far”.
We had huge chances to finish the game off with Tevez chance, carrick and Giggs in the first half. We should have had the game won before they equalised.
As I just said in my reply too Chief we should of been out of sight in 30 mins and they got back into it due to VDS slipping(when did that ever happen) but 2nd half and extra time they were betterAnd they got one of the luckiest goals in CL final history, 2 deflections and fell perfect for fat Frank
Too be fair I said both. But the 2008 isn’t a stand out one I just feel we were 2nd best but the 1999 was definitely one it was glorious in the end1999 München... Don't know how the hell they didn't win that one. Those saying Chelsea 2008 and not the 1999 one, you can't have seen the 1999 game?!
My God you've just reminded me. Dreadful decision. He said something along the lines of wanting to prove that we could win without him so that we wouldn't be so reliant on him.....I know but Arsenal played Chelsea in the semis and Wenger inexplicably decided not to play Arshavin who was in red hot form.
considering they now wipe out yellow cards I’d have loved to have seen Keane and Schole play that game. Two huge misses.Nah 2008 was pretty much dead even and deserved to go to penalties on balance of play. 99 on the other hand Bayern were the better side for 90 minutes.
