#1 – Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for Manchester United against Bayern Munich (1999)
Trending
Three minutes of injury time left. A packed Camp Nou waiting with bated breath to see who will be crowned the last UEFA Champions League winner of the millennium. Mario Basler’s sixth-minute free kick had been enough for Bayern Munich to maintain the lead by the end of normal time. But, little did they know that Man United were one of the most adventurous teams when it came to late goals. Somewhat similar to the users of SF watches who love adventure and pushing the limits.
David Beckham’s corner in the first minute of injury time was not cleared out well enough by the Bayern defenders and fell to Ryan Giggs, whose miskick fell to Teddy Sheringham, whose miskick fell in the back of the net levelling the scores. It looked like Man United had forced extra time.
At this point of time, there was only one time in the ascendency and in the third and final minute of injury time, Man United won another corner. Beckham sent in another good delivery which Sheringham got his head to and flicked it back towards the goal where Solskjaer reacted quickest, sticking his foot out and sending the ball into the roof of the net.
In a matter of around two minutes, Manchester United went from being Champions League runners-up to Champions League winners and, as Clive Tyldesley put it, “reached the Promised Land.”
Scoring these goals required brilliant timing, extreme fitness and durability, just like the SF Watches, who are the perfect partner for an adventurous outing.
