I was still in single digits, but I remember this game well.

I was saging on the sofa in my black Sharp Viewcam top. Collar up.

Not going to watch but the build up to that game was immense. Honestly think if cruyff had not been so arrogant in the run up they would've won.

Yeah but... Cruyff? Not arrogant? So it was inevitable.

Bloody loved Dejan Savicevic, me.

That was the end of the Dream Team. Barcelona went into hiding for a year or two before coming back in the late 90's.

Yes it takes a real sage to mark this final out.

Surprised you even lived through that year's Champion's League campaign, you gutless wonder.

Would have thought you'd be drawing straight for the razorblades to the wrist after the Galatasary game.

The champions league was an impossible dream at that stage, the 3 foreigner rule handicapped us enormously so getting walloped by barca and getting 2-2 draw at old trafford wasn't as disastrous as our exits in the last couple of years.

That season more than made up for it by us being a gnats #@&%! away from a domestic treble and we played some absolutely amazing football. Watching that United side was a total joy.

Cruyff's gutted face then as big Marcel curled that one in

Considering how you revel in despair I would've thought they'd be more memorable to you than May '99 and Moscow.
