Manchester United legend

Chapter 177 After the game
This Champions League final is often called a football classic, and even praised as a miracle beyond the scope of football and sports.

The famous referee on duty, Pierluigi Collina, said that this was the most memorable game in his professional refereeing career, and for the vast majority of Manchester United fans, this game is the proudest memory in their life and the most exciting and miraculous moment in the club's 100-year history.

What Manchester United accomplished is not only a victory, but also a task that is almost called impossible: this is the first team to turn defeat into victory in the final after the Champions League adopted a mixed system of group rounds and knockout matches in 1992!
Manchester United is the first team in history to participate in the UEFA Champions League as a non-domestic league champion and win the championship!
Countless impossibilities become possible, and countless miracles gather to become glory!

这一场比赛的意义已经远远超越了足球领域，2002年英国电视台举行的“英国100大体育时刻”评选中本场比赛名列所有俱乐部足球比赛之最，2012年欧足联评选的欧洲足球100大历史时刻这一场比赛也名列其中，2013年欧足联评选的欧洲冠军杯10大经典比赛本场比赛成为了榜首第一！

Everything about this game has become a topic that fans talk about.

This is the first European Champions Cup won by an English team since the Heysel tragedy in 1985, which marks the re-emergence of English football and the English league.

Manchester United, which won the championship on behalf of England, has also become the most watched club in England. Almost all Manchester United players are called the darlings of the whole of England.

This Manchester United team is considered one of the greatest club teams in football history. The achievement of the "Triple Crown" has witnessed that Manchester United is creating a red dynasty.

Yes, Dynasty Red!

Manchester United has not only played extremely hard in the Champions League final this season, with ups and downs and twists and turns. Manchester United has experienced too much before reversing and winning.

Before the final day, Manchester United had played 82 games in 20 days, with 12 wins and 8 draws without a single defeat.

打到赛季末的时候，曼联三线挺进终于到达了成功的巅峰：先是1999年5月6日，曼联在联赛最后一天以2比1战胜热刺，从阿森那手中夺回了英超冠军；然后是5月22日，曼联在温布利球场2比0战胜纽卡斯尔获得足总杯冠军。

With the double crown in hand, all that remains is the Champions League final 4 days later.Before the final day, Bayern regained the league title from Kaiserslautern and started to move towards the treble.

However, Bayern must conquer the Champions League final first, and it will be the day to compete with Werder Bremen for the German Cup three days later.

The goal of both teams is the "Triple Crown", the highest honor in European football.The only three European Triple Crown teams before this were all miracles achieved before the restructuring of the Champions League.

No team from Europe's top five leagues has ever been able to accomplish this feat.In the end, Manchester United was the first to create an extraordinary record.And the Bundesliga giants fell in the Champions League, and even brought them back home and lost the German Cup!

The Champions League final will be even more unforgettable. Almost everyone of the Bayern players walked to the podium in tears. They received the runner-up trophy from Johnson and then passed by the championship trophy.They really could only look at the golden cup silently, as if the whole universe was separated in the middle.

Most of the Bayern players looked sad, but Kufuor kept crying, crying heartbreakingly, crying badly.

Manchester United players and fans ushered in their happiest moment. At the awards ceremony, Manchester United captain Jost and coach Ferguson raised the championship trophy together.

Amidst the cheers and singing of the Manchester United players, Bart and Scholes, who were suspended due to accumulating two yellow cards, were specially invited to the middle of the stadium. They wore suits to receive the medals and held the trophy together with the whole team.

Their dedication and sacrifice have been rewarded the best, and they are also Manchester United's heroes at this moment!

This great game also has a special significance, that is, Schmeichel, the best and greatest goalkeeper in Manchester United history, played for Manchester United for the last time, and he will leave Manchester United after the summer.The Red Devils bid farewell to the legend of the club with such a great reversal!

The Champions League final day is the [-]th birthday anniversary of Manchester United's former legendary manager Matt Busby.

Is there really a god in the dark?Afterwards, Ferguson repeatedly linked this special victory with Sir Busby, thinking that he "must have done a lot of kicking up there".

Indeed, many fans believe that Sir Busby must be protecting the Red Devils in the dark.

At the end of the game, Ferguson couldn’t even believe the result, but he was unusually calm. His assistant McLaren recalled that Ferguson turned to him before stepping on the lawn to celebrate: “Today is Sir Matt Busby’s 90th birthday, and we scored two goals in the 90th minute today. Isn’t it amazing?” Thank you, Sir Matt."

Red Devils fans will believe that at that moment Busby was with Manchester United.

Mateus is so black that Effenberg can hardly forgive Mateus for his false injury and retreat.

So history and fate later gave Effenberg a new Champions League trophy, but it made Mateus regret forever-the European Champions Cup has since been insulated from him.

The European Champions Cup is the only important honor that Bayern star World Cup champion and world footballer Matthaus has not won in his dazzling football career.

Yes, Ferguson's adventure and courage got the best reward, and Manchester United's spirit of fighting to the end and fighting to the end got the best result!

After the game, Bayern captain Matthaus admitted that Manchester United's luck was too good tonight. "Of course it doesn't feel good to lose the final, especially in this way. It's not the best team that wins tonight, but the luckiest team. We can't blame anyone, especially in 90 minutes. It's painful, uncomfortable, unbelievable. We are so disappointed. We controlled the game for 90 minutes, but luck was terrible. We hit the crossbar and the post. What happened next cannot be explained."

Ferguson certainly disagrees with his statement. Ferguson believes that Manchester United is fully worthy of this championship. "Our players have been attacking and we have never conceded defeat. In my opinion, Manchester United's high fighting spirit caused Bayern to have problems at the last moment. Obviously they began to worry about gains and losses, began to fear, and their actions were full of hesitation.

We were able to score two goals in the end, which proved once again that the team that fights to the end will win. "

Ferguson said, "It was the most beautiful moment of my life and I was really proud of the players, proud of the tradition I carried on. Where did the game start to turn around? Obviously not when we scored the first goal, it was much earlier, and there is no denying the mental strength we had, which is why we won in the end. Football is such a fun game - it is truly legendary."

After Manchester United's victory, in addition to showing Tanat and Kufuor crying, the camera also spent a long time staying on Mateus's sad face.

The commentator Tirdesley said: "Imagine what Matthaus is thinking at this time! Actually, who cares?"

Everyone who liked Manchester United talked about this game after the game and for a long time after that.This is really a miraculous game, a collection of all kinds of magical plots: Schmeichel's absent-mindedness when Bayern scored a goal, and those goalposts and crossbars who survived in danger in the second half. Compared with luck, it was more like the collective apparition of the spirits who died in the Munich air crash in 1958, and it was more like the spirit of Busby returning to the Manchester United team.

During the game, Giggs volleyed with his right foot to form an assist. Jost turned around like a whirlwind and swept the ball into the dead corner. Then he made a confident header to the goal. Solskjaer used his "big toe" to volley the ball into the goal.

Jost raised his arms and shouted when he scored the equalizer, Solskjaer knelt down on his knees and slid for a long distance to celebrate after scoring... When God puts the championship on your head with irreversible momentum, the analysis tactics seem to lose their original meaning.

The Red Devils fans directly forgave Ferguson's weird formation and accepted his weird deployment of putting Beckham in the middle and sending Giggs to the right.

Or they also believe that this is Ferguson's adventure - this adventure finally won the victory!

The wonderful scenes of the game have become iconic shots and magnificent memory fragments later.Before the 2008 UEFA Champions League final, the "Times" also specially published an article recalling and praising the 90-minute persistence of the Manchester United players, recalling how the whole team used tens of seconds to a few 10 minutes to turn a desperate situation into a paradise through this great reversal.

All of this will remain in the hearts of Manchester United fans forever.
