Top 5 memorable matches in the Champions League era

#2: Manchester United 2-1 Bayern Munich (Final, 1998-99)

The historic treble-winning United team of 1998-99

"Beckham.....Into Sheringham...and Solskjaer has won it!"

These lines will be forever etched into the minds of every United fan. The Red Devils did a stunning turnaround at the grandest of stages to become the first and only English team to complete the treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

Bayern took an early lead when Mario Basler scored a 25-yard free kick in the 6th minute of the game. United squandered a flurry of chances and Bayern were unlucky to be denied by the post twice, as both the sides failed to score any more goals until the injury time. Captained by the fantastic Oliver Kahn, Bayern Munich had led the match for the majority of the period, before having to see the trophy mercilessly snatched away from them in the dying moments of the game.

Ryan Giggs helped setup the first goal in the 91st minute, when he diverted a David Beckham corner into the path of Teddy Sheringham, who put the ball in the net to give United a late lifeline. In what was potentially the last corner of the game, Beckham provided a neat cross to Sheringham, whose header fell to Solskjaer, and the Norwegian made no mistake in scoring the second goal to crown United the European champions.
