Right, so i'm still struggling to see where this 'best team in the late 90s' is coming from.
Best team in 1998-1999? Oh yeah, definitely. Without doubt. But really? 1996 - Uefa cup rotor volgograd. 1997 - knocked out in semis due to shite finishing 1998 - knocked out in quarters by monaco again due to shit finishing 1999 - we know what happened 2000 - knocked out in the quarters due to abysmal defending Juventus got to 3 consecutive finals in the 90s and won just as many champions league titles in the 90s as united did. |

The 3-2 win against them the following season felt like a huge moment - even though they were down to 10 men and we scored one of the most blatantly offside goals you'll ever see. |

I remember in '99 when they came to Old Trafford and had a lot of the ball and lots of control over the game in the first half, thinking we were still that step behind. Certainly felt that way ten minutes in over in Turin too. They were an incredible side, which is why that comeback was probably our most remarkable achievement. Teams just didn't do that against Juve. Nor Bayern either tbf |

the following season united were brilliant in the group stages. it was injuries that decimated the team in the Q/F. juve knocked monaco out but the margins were very small, with 2 home pens and a late goal in each half in the 1st leg making the difference in dell alpi. an average real team beat juve in a dull final. throw in the treble season and over those 3 seasons there was certainly no better team in europe than united, and for me we had the edge. and anyone who sneers at the 94 united team cannot be taken seriously. |
