00:01The 1999 UEFA Champions League final between Manchester United and Bayern Munich was a magical night in Barcelona.
00:08Sir Alex Ferguson's side were chasing a treble having secured the Premier League and the FA Cup.
00:14Bayern and their coach Otmar Hitzfeld were Bundesliga champions and still had the German Cup final to play.
00:20These two had already met twice in the group stages, both games ending in draws.
00:25Something had to give in the Camp Nou.
00:27Commentary in one of the most dramatic European finals ever comes from Ian Dark.
00:32Manchester United are without the suspended Roy Keane and Paul Scholes.
00:36Cruel on both players. David Beckham in central midfield.
00:39Peter Schmeichel captaining United in his final game.
00:43Otmar Hitzfeld named Bayern Munich's team two days ago.
00:4638 year old Lothar Matthäus looking for his first Champions League triumph.
00:51Battering Ram striker Karsten Janka has 19 goals this season.
00:59And there are the substitutes.
01:05Teddy Sheringham scored in the FA Cup final.
01:08Bayern Munich with the experience of Mehmet Scholl there.
01:13Gary Neville with the throw in.
01:16Here's Dwight York.
01:18He's had such a terrific campaign in this Champions League.
01:23Manchester United's run has been very dramatic coming from two down in that semi away to Juventus.
01:29But Bayern Munich with Janka here looking to make progress.
01:32That is going to be a free kick for a challenge by Ronnie Janssen.
01:43He went down a bit easily.
01:46And Pierluigi Colina had no doubts.
01:49And here is a moment of danger for Manchester United.
01:54With six minutes on the clock.
02:03He wants that back at least another two yards, the referee.
02:11Stephen Uffenberg looks interested, but so too does Mario Basler.
02:20And it's Basler to hit it, and Basler to score!
02:24What a blow for Manchester United within six minutes.
02:37Cue bedlam among the Munich fans.
02:42Something wrong with the wall here, it's expertly hit.
02:45And no stopping it.
02:59Europe trying to make progress, but stumped by the Garnetian.
03:02Sami Koufour.
03:05Bayern Munich using Lothar Matthäus as sweeper.
03:08Behind that defence of the take.
03:10Some breaking down.
03:13Neville's long throw.
03:14Effenberg went up, it might go for it for Andy Cole!
03:17Oh, that could have gone anywhere.
03:20Effenberg got in a vital tackle at the last moment.
03:28And it's last-ditch stuff here.
03:34Manchester United hoping to get the pay-off from their 53-goal strike.
03:39Partnership of Cole and York again.
03:42Carnat's trying to have a bit of problems here.
03:44Here's Giggs.
03:46Beckham.
03:51It is a big blow for Manchester United.
03:53To be playing such a big game without Keenan Scholes.
03:58And they're going to move Beckham into that more central role.
04:09It's taken them some time to get over that set-back of the early goal against...
04:14And the near post is York!
04:16Took a deflection, Oliver Kahn just about got there.
04:29It's quite cleverly turned, goalwards.
04:32And the fists of Kahn to the rescue.
04:39Irwin's ball in for Manchester United.
04:44Beckham dispossessed in midfield.
04:49Jeremis leading the break.
04:51Janka looked to flick it on.
04:52It wasn't the best one.
04:53Zickler!
04:56Didn't really get a hold of it.
04:58Alexander Zickler.
05:01A player who was signed really as a squad player by Bayern Munich.
05:05But here he is playing in the Champions League final.
05:14Bayern Munich looking to be European champions for the first time since 1976.
05:19They won it three times a row in the mid-70s in the France-Beckenbauer era.
05:26Manchester United, of course, haven't won it since Samat Busby's time in 1968.
05:33This is towards Janka.
05:37Manchester United mob-hired it to get it away with Ronnie Janssen in the end.
05:46Irwin looking to hit one in behind.
05:49Here's Cole.
05:55And Giggs' head up, doesn't have enough on it.
06:00And it's been frustrating this so far for Manchester United.
06:07Janka's made a nuisance of himself.
06:10Foul on him, it was a little sharp for one there, but nothing doing.
06:26And Manchester United fans came here dreaming of the treble.
06:30But there's rescue work to be done in the second half.
06:34The referee will blow for half-time now.
06:37Bayern Munich ahead early, and that lead not often threatened in truth.
06:45The boss has some thinking to do.
06:47Mario Basler with the goal.
06:49And at half-time, United nil, Bayern Munich won.
07:0090,000 fans in the Nou Camp here.
07:08Bayern Munich have already won this season in the Champions League 2-1.
07:19Here's Basler again, into Effenberg.
07:23And the second spell with the club is a maverick character, but a vital player.
07:28Tarnat to get this one in, it's a miscue really.
07:31And when it comes off Stam, it won't be a problem.
07:43I'm sure Alex Ferguson does have striker options on the bench,
07:46but there's defensive work to do here.
07:48Janka, Janssen got something on it!
07:51Oh, and just for a moment you wondered if the angle still existed for Janka to turn that in.
07:59He scored three times in the Champions League run already.
08:04Janssen just about did enough. Just about.
08:17Spread wide here for Basler again.
08:22And he scored tonight, scored in the German Cup final last year as well.
08:43Tight tense occasion, Ottmar Hitzfeldt.
08:49He won the league by a record margin.
08:52Trying to hunt out a second goal, here's Effenberg.
08:57Curled in again, Kufour!
08:59And he can't quite reach it, little Sammy Kufour.
09:12He did get three on the back post but never could get his body round that one.
09:22Never to chip it wide. Giggs inside to Andy Cole.
09:29Giggs and Blomqvist!
09:32Nearly, nearly, for Manchester United.
09:42Well, Jesper Blomqvist got there first, but couldn't keep it down.
09:54Beckham.
09:56Good-looking ball in.
09:57Lota Mateus is looking to cut it out.
10:04United just starting to build up a little head of steam.
10:13Blomqvist is coming off.
10:18And on comes Teddy Sheringham.
10:22Creshing his goal in the FA Cup final against Newcastle United.
10:26He's only made 11 starts so far this season with Cole and York in such great form.
10:37Stamm went up for it.
10:40Couldn't keep it down.
10:52By and large, Bayern Munich have been decent value for the lead that they've held for a long time in
10:58this match now.
11:01Effenberg round the corner.
11:02Scholl.
11:04Quick feet, wasn't it, from Scholl? Effenberg wants to try his luck!
11:07And that drifted a long way wide in all honesty.
11:11He's got 16 goals this season, though, Effenberg.
11:24Flicked on again.
11:26Cole.
11:30That's a complete misunderstanding there.
11:33Manchester United really didn't need that.
11:37Here come Bayern Munich again.
11:39Scholl's been good since he's come under the pitch.
11:41Buzzing, very influential.
11:42Janka.
11:43Effenberg, big opportunity!
11:45Oh, it wouldn't quite sit down for the lob he was looking for.
11:49And Schmeichel in his final Manchester United game with a vital save.
12:02It's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
12:05Stretching and...
12:07Looks like being prepared for an introduction.
12:16Erwin.
12:17Erwin.
12:20Nicky Bat.
12:22And it goes from Manchester United.
12:25Again.
12:26Good play, isn't it, by Basler.
12:29He's got a way down this right-hand side.
12:32Yankees there with him.
12:34Porta 104.
12:37Scholl.
12:38Oh, that's delicious!
12:39Oh, Mehmet Scholl!
12:41So close to putting the game you'd feel out of United's reach.
12:45It was a brilliant piece of play.
12:50Well, only the woodwork kept Manchester United alive there.
13:00Scholl.
13:02Been such a key player for Bayern Munich in his time with them.
13:05That was very unlucky.
13:12Back forward.
13:14Looking for the one-two here.
13:15Butt.
13:15Good run!
13:16Can he pull it back for Cole?
13:18Oh, not quite!
13:20Agony for the legions of Manchester United fans.
13:23Watching in the stadium, out at home.
13:29It's a really good, determined run by Nicky Butt.
13:36Barbaloo hammered it away in the end.
13:39Here comes the Manchester United corner kick now.
13:43Their need increasingly desperate.
13:47Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who's been known to be a super sub in the past.
13:52On he comes.
13:5317 goals this season.
13:58Here's the United corner, taken by Beckham.
14:03Too far away.
14:05Neville looks to keep it alive.
14:08Solskjaer!
14:12Almost made an instant impact.
14:21Good well to win the header.
14:22It was going in.
14:28And Stefan Effenberg.
14:31Room out wide here for Scholl again.
14:37Looks to take on Dennis Irwin.
14:39And that I fancy will be a corner kick for Bayern Munich.
14:49A lot of anxious faces and glances at watchers.
14:54Peter Schmeichel wants a fantasy finish to his United career.
14:58It isn't happening at the moment.
15:07It's been happening at the moment.
15:10Basler with the corner kick.
15:13Scholl.
15:14Janker!
15:16So nearly two!
15:18And once again, the woodwork to Manchester United's rescue.
15:24Bayern Munich might have had this wrapped up by now.
15:28United riding their luck
15:30Effenberg
15:33Janka looks the turn
15:34Japs Stammu defended it well
15:41Schmeichel just wanted to get on with it
15:43the referee wants the play pulled back
15:49great effort
15:50by Janka
15:58and it remains a margin of only one
16:01United live in hope
16:06well the two substitutes were well there
16:14it was a pretty good chance
16:21the time is ebbing away
16:24from Manchester United in their
16:26quest for a famous trouble
16:34Beckham
16:35looking for one of his trademark crosses
16:37Dwight York
16:38couldn't get the angle he wanted on the header
16:39it was neither one thing or the other
16:44I think in the end he was trying to nod it back
16:48and this was the earlier effort from Scheringham
16:56Barbel
16:57isn't quite what Linker wanted
16:59I don't fancy
17:00as the clock ticks on to
17:02well within 10 seconds
17:04of the end of the 90
17:08Bayern Munich
17:09are nearly there
17:15United
17:16need something
17:17and fast
17:22the defenders do their job
17:24here's Beckham
17:29that's quite good
17:31and it's Gary Neville
17:33who turned up on the left-hand side
17:34doing to get the cross
17:35and it's a corner kick
17:37to Manchester United
17:38in stoppage time
17:45they've got that one away
17:46have they as well
17:48Giggs plums it back in
17:50Scheringham
17:50has equalised for Manchester United
17:53can you believe this
18:0091 minutes
18:02on the clock
18:03and United
18:04are saved
18:10just when all hope
18:13seemed lost
18:14Teddy
18:15Scheringham
18:15with the equaliser
18:21it's a poor appearance
18:23Giggs turns it
18:24goal was
18:24Scheringham's instincts
18:26did the rest
18:36and that's what it meant
18:38on the sidelines
18:41Manchester United
18:42twice rescued
18:43by the woodwork
18:47now
18:48can think
18:49of maybe
