After 98/99 that famed quarter never dominated anyone and looked second best when we came up against quality opposition like Madrid and Bayern. To the extent where it even looked like they were bottling big games - Madrid away in 03 comes to mind, Van Nistelrooy aside.

Madrid in 00 we were unlucky.
We missed so many good chances to equalise at 1-0 and Ivan Campo or Karanka saved Andy Coles header with both hands on the goal line.

Not sure about being the better side away, sure Bosnich was MOTM.
Cole missed a point blank header though I’m sure he put over a relatively empty net.
