Complacency for a few of them. Especially Leverkusen; I think everyone thought we were already at Hampden Park for the final. Will always wonder what would have happened in 2013 without Nani's red against Real, though. Came during a highly polished European performance. We had Real's number; completely shutting them out of the game. |

seem to remember van nistelrooy and beckham both missing great chances for more away goals in 03 as well. |

Really could have won all 3 of the ties against Madrid. People look upon the second meeting against the Galactico era as a lesson but the main difference over the 2 legs was the goalkeeping, Utd missed so many chances over both legs. And then we had the Nani red card match when a squad that would soon be derided were well in control until that moment. |

In 2002 United were nowhere near as good, conceding goals for fun in a defence that had the ancient Laurent Blanc in it...whist we're talking about teams that finished 3rd, United also finished 3rd that season whilst conceding about 50 goals. |

real did add to their lead in 2000 but only after keane had missed a sitter for 1-1 to make amends for his og. we were chasing that game from very early on... context is important as well, since even now no team has ever defended the CL and this is the 25th year. |
