MANCHESTER UNITED 3-2 JUVENTUS: RETRO REPORT OF 1999 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL CLASSIC
On this day, 21 years ago, Manchester United played out a classic Champions League encounter with Juventus in the semi-final second leg. Here's our retro report on what was an historic night for Alex Ferguson's side...

Manchester United reached the Champions League final in dramatic fashion after a 3-2 comeback win in Turin sent Juventus crashing out - and kept their own treble dream alive.

After a 1-1 first-leg draw at Old Trafford, United looked dead and buried when Filippo Inzaghi’s double inside 11 minutes put Juventus on the brink of a fourth straight final.

However, Roy Keane sparked a stunning revival, heading in from David Beckham’s corner after 24 minutes, and continuing to lead by example despite a 33rd-minute yellow card ruling him out of the final.

Dwight Yorke’s header moments after Keane’s booking then had United through on away goals, and while Peter Schmeichel made some vital saves one end, the visitors really could have extended their lead with Yorke and Denis Irwin both hitting the post.

Paul Scholes also got his name in the referee's notebook, therefore missing the final, but those two booking blemishes barely diminish what was an historic night for United, which ended with Andy Cole tapping in with a goal his performance warranted.

Bayern Munich, chasing a treble of their own, await United in the May 26 final at Barcelona’s Nou Camp.
