'The 45,000 Manchester United fans are
quiet now.
They have followed their
team to Barcelona. Can they be
three times l u c k y after their
success in the League and the
Cup?* We are already in i n j u r y
time and n o w they can only
hope. The score is s t i l l 1-0 to
Bayern M u n i c h . The boys' heads
are d o w n , their legs are tired. A
corner to U n i t e d . Even Schmeichel
has come up for i t . Beckham takes the
corner, the Germans get the ball away . . .
no, there's Giggs! He kicks it towards the Bayern goal. He finds
Sheringham . . . Goal! Goal! Sheringham has scored for U n i t e d .
One all, in the ninetieth minute. Let's see that goal again . . .
The fans' hopes are s t i l l alive. Now, can M a n U score again?
There are only another forty-five seconds to play. Another
corner! Beckham again, Sheringham passes to Solskjaer,
Solskjaer heads the ball . . . It's there! It's in the back of the
goal. This is unbelievable. Manchester
U n i t e d have scored two goals in
the last seconds of the game.
They w i l l never forget 26
May, 1999. They have
already w o n the FA Cup
and the League, and n o w
they have w o n the
European Championship!'
* The League and the FA Cup: In the League, every team plays every other team
twice, 'at home' and 'away'. In the FA Cup, a team only plays until it loses a
game; the final is played at Wembley Stadium, in London.
