THREE TIMES CHAMPIONS!
Did You Know...?
When United won the 1999 European Cup, it was Matt Busby's birthday.
'The 45,000 Manchester United fans are quiet now. They have followed their team to Barcelona. Can they be three times lucky after their success in the League and the Cup? We are already in injury time and now they can only hope. The score is still 1-0 to Bayern Munich. The boys' heads are down, their legs are tired. A corner to United. Even Schmeichel has come up for it. Beckham takes the corner, the Germans get the ball away... no, there's Giggs! He kicks it towards the Bayern goal. He finds Sheringham... Goal! Goal! Sheringham has scored for United. One all, in the ninetieth minute. Let's see that goal again...
The fans' hopes are still alive. Now, can Man U score again? There are only another forty-five seconds to play. Another corner! Beckham again, Sheringham passes to Solskjaer, Solskjaer heads the ball... It's there! It's in the back of the goal. This is unbelievable. Manchester United have scored two goals in the last seconds of the game.
They will never forget 26 May, 1999. They have already won the FA Cup and the League, and now they have won the European Championship!'
Did You Know...?
Schmeichel's last touch of the ball as a Manchester United player played a big part in Sheringham's goal (Not bad for a 35-year old goalkeeper!)
