It was exactly ten years ago back in 1999 that Man United defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League Final to lift the prestigious European Cup , completing an unique treble of League & Cup Double ! Now exactly ten years later , these two teams would meet each other yet again in another Cup Final , this time in a Mini Pre - Season two day Audi Cup Tournament , evoking memories of that very special night in Barcelona where the European Cup Final was being played !
That very special night in Spain was on 26 May 1999 & the Venue was Nou Camp - the home ground of Spanish giants Barcelona FC . Man United Fans will surely remember the manner in which they won the European Cup Final in what will definitely go down as one of the classic European Cup Final Matches in UEFA Champions League History . Trailing 1 -0 for the whole of the Match , the Red Devils looked to be staring at the face of defeat , and with the clock fast ticking down to the Final whistle , Man United dreams of a unique treble ( after having already won the EPL Title & the English FA Cup earlier in the Season ) looked to be all but over ...
But little did we know that the men in Red were to have something up their sleeves and managed to save the very best for the last in a dramatic late late show of an escape act , managing to escape from the brink of defeat , with only 3 more injury time minutes to be played , Sir Alex Ferguson's men scored twice in the last two minutes of injury time to overturn the 1-0 deficit to a Final Score victory of 2 -1 in their favour .
