Manchester United FC’s Rich UEFA Heritage
From the pioneering Busby Babes to the modern glory under Sir Alex Ferguson, United’s story in Europe is woven into the fabric of football history.
Their first European Cup triumph came in 1968 when Sir Matt Busby’s side defeated Benfica at Wembley, becoming the first English club to lift the trophy.
The 1999 UEFA Champions League final in Barcelona remains one of the most remarkable moments in football, when Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored in stoppage time to secure an astonishing comeback win over Bayern Munich, completing a historic treble.
In 2008, Sir Alex Ferguson’s team lifted the trophy again in a dramatic all-English final against Chelsea in Moscow, winning on penalties after a tense and rainy night.
Over the years, legendary players such as George Best, Bobby Charlton, Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney have created memories that still inspire millions of fans worldwide.
