Manchester Fans Vote For Defeating Juve in 1999 As Their Second Best Achievement during Ferguson's era which continued since more than 20 years...

Here is the result of the voting on their official site:

1st: Bayern 1 United 2, UCL final - 33.6%
2nd: Juventus 2 United 3, UCL semi 2nd leg - 22.3%
3rd: Arsenal 1 United 2, FA Cup semi replay -17.4%
Others: 26.7%

As expected, the night Sir Alex finally reached the peak of European football, in the most dramatic of fashions, was voted the best game of his reign. United’s second European Cup win cakewalked the vote, comfortably topping the colossal triumphs-over-adversity victories against Juventus and Arsenal from the same season.

I know this match may carry some sad memories for most Juve fans who saw it on TV live like me, but it is nice that the fans of this big club appreciate winning against Juve that much...

that year we were very bad (in our standard)in serie A and in CL group stage (goal difference) culmunating with lippi's resignation.
it was not a big failure seeing the situation we were in.

that game, holy crap. doing so bad in the league and having big hopes for the cl. it started amazing with inzaghi scoring 2 goals (within 15 mins iirc)and then there was a certain 5 minute interval where deep inside i knew that even though we were leading 2-0 there was no way in hell we were gonna make it. and again iirc man u tied the game at halftime and went on to score a third. the tie would have seen them through

Man Utd fans tend to recall that game for Keane's performance. He got booked early on, which meant he'd miss the final, but he pick himself up and kept Zidane very quiet all game.

and then he got into a drunken fight at a bar the night of the final

Really? I hadn't heard that, and I'm inclined not to believe it. He had alcohol problems before that, but I think he'd gone dry by that point.

Fair enough. I can certainly see him having gotten wound up by some random punter taunting him for missing the final, alcohol or no. :smile:

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

you probably would have heard about it though

 

[mikhail]

Probably. It was seven years ago though. I've remembered a lot of things since then!

holy crap, we lost that game so slowly and painfully. though i feel nothing for them i was so sad for bayern munchen later on. main reason why i hated man u so much, they really made me sick in that final.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

thats like choosing to be in a box with a rabbid raccoon or a pms'ing hyena

 

[Marc]

Yeah, that game was one hell of a thriller.

To see Juve losing that way was relly painful, especially because we didn´t deserve it.

I remember some great chances for ours 3rd goal, but unfortunately it didn´t happen.

After that game + Final Game Vs Bayern Manchester United became 3rd Club on my hate list.

However it is sweet to know that before that game in 1999 we gave them some hard time in CL Group Stages.

BTW. While we´re speaking abt. this game - Does anyone have Highlights of that Match?

 

[Ahmed]

Beating Juve should have been 1...the final was so crappy Man Utd got lucky

 

[Alfio_87]

Del Piero was injured badly at the time i remba and u always knew Man Utd where going to come back! We needed the third goal but it neva came and once they cracked us once they kept comming and they ended up winning as they deserved for a gutsy performance like that!

 

[Maresca]

don´t remember me about that match please still painfull

i used to hate them so much, for beating Juve and Bayern.
However later i just realised that if ur 2-0 up and lose then it ur problems not others. Same goes to Bayern.

still the way bayern lost was nothing short than disgusting imo. 2 goals in stoppage time, 2 clumsy, lucky goals...

 

[Geof]

I think it would have a place in my most painful memories with Juve...

actually them losing that final is one of the reasons i hate Bayern. Many stars weren't done justice by not winning that final.
