and their treble year.
The Treble
1998-99 was when Manchester United had the most successful season
in English club football history as they became the first and only
English team to win The Treble - winning the Premiership, FA Cup
and UEFA Champions League in the same season. After a very tense
Premier League season, Manchester United won the title on the final
day beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1, whilst Arsenal won 1-0 against
Aston Villa.
Winning the Premiership was the first part of the Treble in place,
the one part that manager Alex Ferguson described as the hardest.
In the FA Cup Final United faced Newcastle United and won 2-0 with
goals from Teddy Sheringham and Paul Scholes.
In the final match of that season, the 1999 UEFA Champions League
Final they defeated Bayern Munich in what was then considered the
greatest comeback ever witnessed. After going down to an early goal
from a Mario Basler free kick, United chased the game for 85
minutes. After 90 minutes they forced a corner, from which late
substitute Teddy Sheringham scored. Not giving up, Man Utd went for
a second and it came again from a corner, Ole Gunnar Solskjær,
another late substitute, poking it into the roof of the net.
Ferguson was subsequently knighted for his services to football.
Later that year Manchester United won the Intercontinental Cup
after beating Palmeiras 1-0 in Toyota.
