Some would argue that this match is Manchester United's most memorable comeback. Even greater than the match that followed.

Juventus completely dominated United at Old Trafford and led through Antonio Conte. Ryan Giggs scored an equalizer in injury time to keep them in the tie.

Juventus started the second leg in Turin in the best possible way. Filippo Inzaghi scored a quick brace in five minutes to give the Italians a two-nil lead on the night and 3-1 on aggregate.

However, captain Roy Keane scored in the 24th minute to keep the belief going for the Red Devils. United only needed to score one more without conceding to go through on away goals. Dwight Yorke scored the second on 34 minutes to put United ahead.

United survived wave after wave of attacks from Juventus. With the Italians looking for another goal, United hit on the counter to score the third goal of the night to go through to the final.
