5 famous Champions League shocks

#2 Manchester United 1-1 Porto (2004)

Porto went on to win the 2004 Champions League title

This game is best known for the night that Jose Mourinho bought himself to the attention of European football. Porto came into the second leg at Old Trafford 2-1 up, thanks to a brilliant double from Benni McCarthy in the first leg in Portugal. However, Manchester United’s away goal, scored by Quinton Fortune, gave them a good chance to progress.

And it looked like United had done enough to progress, when Paul Scholes gave them the lead half an hour into the game. It all went wrong in the final minute though, when ‘keeper Tim Howard fumbled McCarthy’s free kick, and Francisco Costinha was on hand to send the Portuguese giants through.

The goal saw Jose Mourinho charge down the touchline to celebrate with his players, an iconic image in the Special One’s career.
