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.
