Gabriel Batistuta will never forget Ryan Giggs performance in this match [English commentary]

[@llewellynnolan]

Giggs was insane. Cole however deserve a special mention, he terrorised those defenders and his goal ws world class

[@johnroche7541]

Fergie tried several times to get Batistuta. World class striker.

[@newmonkeyforever6391]

When football was football

[@robinscott7816]

When man utd were a football team is what you really mean

[@pmurpy061]

Each generation says the same.

[@JumaaNdululu]

Absolutely

[@SukhSingh-df1zu]

Coming here for antidote to today…

[@wararkasomalia]

Batistuta wow

[@eNyaaaw]

Atmospheres don't exist like this anymore, especially in England. Look at the work rate compared to now.

[@kazeemoni56]

That was when the agents had not killed the game with excessive demand for £€€$. You can't earn those Rashford, Sancho or Casemiro kind of wages and have the work rate that goes with it. Football needs to go back to the realistic wage structure.

[@siberianTiger639]

​@@kazeemoni56 the issue is, players get insanely big contracts nowadays while they are still kids. I think when talented players change the clubs early and get big transfers early it puts a lot of pressurre on them and when they don't play good they are on the bench and it ruins their developement. Young talents are getting ruined by the pace of the modern game and how much transfers and money there is in the game nowadays. It takes time to grow into a mature top player. On one hand the money they get too early kills their motivation but also it puts too much pressurre too early and they just get crushed. There has never been so little top quality players as in the game nowadays. Football got really boring.

[@kazeemoni56]

@siberianTiger639 You are absolutely correct 💯.

[@Jimburgess1977]

Great atmosphere that night. Old Trafford is so quiet these days. Batigol was a menace in his prime.

[@AngeAries]

Batistuta was BadAss🦾 Bati-gol💥🎯

[@manalive1623]

Old Trafford used to get properly fired up for big European games. A tingle in the air, and you felt your duty was to roar them on, and we, the crowd, could make a difference to the outcome.

[@notthereaLNG]

Good work bro. When football was really good.

[@nickdan4177]

And today united team.....😢

[@michaelburley2905]

Always thought Cole was a bit hit and miss fir united but what a finish that was

[@mnnh1]

20 x better than Rashford’s ever been

[@michaelburley2905]

@ ?

[@RossONeill-s2p]

That United lineup my God 😂

[@shayan808_HU]

Giggs is my most favorite legend Giggsy is the best and more honor player of the football history 11💚🦁👑☀️❤️11

[@Str8ballin89]

Yeah but he boned his brothers Mrs....no honor in that 😂

[@dondamon4669]

People have forgotten how good and exciting Giggs was in the first half of his career! All the biggest clubs in the world wanted him and if he went he would of got a ballon dor 100% but at United he had to work as hard as the worst players instead of just attacking like Ferguson allowed Ronaldo to do and Giggs was much better than Ronaldo in the early years,he could also of been like Beckham but he didn't want it. Just watch him before he had to adapt his game and if played for England would be classed as our best player ever and maybe would of won a trophy

[@adamtaylor1168]

I wonder what Roy Keane says at 5:14 😂🤔😂😂

[@pipmick2775]

God, what Utd would do for a Giggs-type player now...and a Keane or Scholes too, for that matter...

[@ChonsKhonshu]

E la madonna!! Quando il calcio era calcio.

[@olliebrown89]

Pretty sure he's forgotten

[@IrisFiat]

عندما كانت كرة القدم

[@jackjill4176]

Agree

[@magicfc1000]

Everything was original in those years

[@sonjoprimaryschool8186]

He was Ryan Giggs

[@charliesarasyoutubeadventu7539]

Not sure why this video is about Giggs? 🤔

[@JumaaNdululu]

1998/99 season

[@wiretom]

United’s bench for this game would walk into the current side and waltz top 4 .

[@AngeAries]

Facts

[@AngeAries]

Ohh shiddd, Rui Costa🔮 &Enrico Chiesa on the bench.🤌🏼 These were the days... ✨️ Proper midweek European football @O.T with the Great Clive Tyldesley on commentary... Now we got complete muppets running round a forgotten stadium with holes in the roof and wazucks like Guy Mowbray on the mic. God that guy's annoying. Talks such horseshit.

[@matthewdoyle3877]

Ryan Giggs so underrated
