Bayern Munich, English sides, Champions League finals. They don't tend to work well for the Bavarian giants. An even bigger and more monumental last minute goal was scored in 1999 when Manchester United literally snatched the Champions League trophy away from the Bundesliga outfit.

Like Chelsea in 2012, United overcame the odds to reach the final in Barcelona in 1999. Their opponents would be the formidable Bayern Munich.

Munich, like in 2012, took the lead and destroyed United in all areas of the pitch. The woodwork and Peter Schmeichel stopped United being embarrassed at the Nou Camp.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man they say, and Teddy Sheringham, along with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were two substitutions made by Sir Alex Ferguson. Amazingly, Sheringham slotted home an equaliser with just seconds remaining on the clock, before the Norweigan Solskjaer left his mark in United folklore.

An inswinging corner was nodded in the direction of the Norway international and he poked home United's second goal with the last kick of the ball. It handed Ferguson's side the treble – the first and only English team to achieve such a remarkable feat.
