No offense to the 2005 final and it was a great final.

But seriously, the 1999 final is the best.

Why? Two teams had a dream: to complete the Ultimate European Treble (Winning their domestic top tier league, primary domestic cup, and the European Cup/UEFA Champions League).

Manchester United won the EPL and the FA Cup while Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga and the German Cup.

Manchester United became the first club from the Big 5 European club leagues (EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and Bundesliga) to win the Ultimate European Treble.

And also, Liverpool's 3 goals against AC Milan in the 2005 UCL final only forced extra time and penalties.

I disagree for those who said Liverpool-Milan finals was most memorable. The reason being, it wasnt like they were 3-0 down and in last 3 minutes they scored 3 goals and went onto penalties and won it? It was the best comeback, yes not the memorable win. Milan dominated 1st half, won 3-0 - Liverpool dominated 2nd half and they scored 3. Like how Utd was losing 3-0 to Spurs and won it 5-3 in last 25 mins. Thats a best comeback. '99 was most memorable as they scored 2 goals in space of 2 mins of AET, when Munich thought they won it. Sorry scousers, CL 05 - best comeback, not that memorable as Utd's games.

I remember this final very well; at the young age of 14 sitting in the front room watching United seemingly going to lose; I'm sure both sets of fans can understand the euphoria of coming back from what seemed a lost cause to win in Europe. I still hold memories from '99 more dearly than I would hold Liverpool's 2005 success; but as a Man United fan, I cheered Liverpool on all the way when I watched that game.

I guess my point is that they cannot be held in comparison to each other as they were both unique scenarios.

The 2005 final was memorable too. But dramas and climaxes are built in the dying minutes. If Liverpool had won that final without going to penalties, only then would I say it more memorable than the 1999 final.

To compare Man United to religion is insulting to humanity. Religion is something that goes back millions of years and touches the lives of billions.

Mind you if Scientology is a religion perhaps Man U can be one too. Perhpas I will go on a pilgrimage to Old Trafford and see the light, or pray to Sir Alex and hear his wise words on the wisdom of using midfielders as wing backs (like Prandelli does at Fiorentina). Perhaps in my darkest moments I can think of that red shirt and the little nike swoosh and it will give me strength.

Anyway, apologies for this, but really,Man U are not a religion they are a football team, just like any other.

That was definitely a match to remember. The climax of the game was the lat 3 minutes and Man Utd proved again that they deserved the cup. I hope they do the same in 2008 final.

uniteds victory was certainly dramatic...i mean they had won 2 trophies,going for third..no one has ever done that.. and to win it in the last 3mins..unbelievable..liverpool had 45mins to get 3 goals and they had well rested players ahead of their fixtures against milan....milan were going all out for their seria A title too...liverpool had nothing to play for except this, so going 3-0 down at the interval was all their doings...but still they had 45mins to get back..united had 3mins and scored 2....but my guess is. when smicer/solskjaer scored the drawing/winning goal the fans would have had the same shot of madness...

Istanbul much much better final.
Man U and Munich had ****** teams in that final that played very defensive football and man u scored from a corner! how exciting !? (sarcasm)
Kaka is twice the player Man U or munich had.
Man U were incredibly lucky to win the treble and only had one opponent for the FA cup and the league (Arsenal, Bergkamp should never take penalties). So Istanbul is much more exciting final.

Last I checked AC Milan and Liverpool weren't gunning for a treble were they. That is what makes this special.

its funny how all these chelsea and lliverpool fans say that the 2005 final was better...unbeknownst to them that their bias makes their argument completely irrelevant

IMHO...this one was waaaaaay more dramatic...they won it on LITERALLY the last kick whereas liverpool won in penalties which is the epitome of anti-climactic

Nothing is as special as that night in Istanbul. This is close, but not near what Liverpool did
