Man Utd - Barcelona. CL-1994/95 (2-2)

[@johnmcnamee2100]

What a brilliant game of football. Two brilliant teams. Brian Moore commentary made these games extra special imo. 🙂

[@bryanmoe9590]

Brian Moore was brilliant. Excitement and enthusiasm

[@randomstuff5338]

Without doubt one of the best games ever

[@CraigCairney83]

One of Lee Sharpe’s best games! He was sensational that night.

[@robcowleydnb]

That's the Old Trafford I remember going to as a kid. They demolished and rebuilt the North Stand right after this season finished.

I remember watching this in the Man Utd 94/95 Season Review on VHS 📼. Good times!

[@alexsosa266]

I remember watching this at 10 years old in my mate Gary's front room, trying to recreate the skills with the soft mini football 😆 those were the days.

[@MrThedonhead]

I forgot bout those balls. Good for honing your skills 😎

[@nickycotton6137]

Classic stuff (+ squads) from both sides. Respected...

[@RafsanS15]

Barca were weaker. Zubi and Laudrup left the team after smacked 4-0 by Milan

[@civiliglen]

Koeman was a beast. Football history seeing him alongside Pep Guardiola, both learning their trade from Cruyff.

[@SKa-tt9nm]

Koeman clearly needed to take better notes

[@Hugh_Jurrection]

I think it's fair to say that Man Utd vs Barca has never ever ever been a dull game lol

[@Danilamakhalin]

Kanchelskis 🔥

[@NoName-jq7tj]

The gulf in quality is so evident. The 2 goals from Barcelona were sheer quality. The 1st one the way they zig zag the back from defence into the back of the net is class.

[@SKa-tt9nm]

100% correct! Barca beat United 4-0 in the return fixture that year.

[@NoName-jq7tj]

@@SKa-tt9nm I can recall that 4-0 thumping Utd took. English clubs on their return to Europe would get hammered all the time by the European elites. It was the during infancy days off the Premier League.

[@Tom-yw6px]

Tbf, before the Heysel disaster, English clubs had dominated the tournament for almost 10 years. The ban on them completing for 5 years did take a toll on the clubs and they struggled and probably got left behind without that exposure to european styles. It is only a decade after this when 442 etc started to change that we saw another period of English dominance. Note here the difference in styles, Man United with 2 quick direct wingers getting to the byline crossing to forwards, which was highly successful in the domestic competitions. Barca with a more pass and move style not suited to english football at the time (rainy Wednesday night in Stoke springs to mind).

[@SKa-tt9nm]

@@Tom-yw6pxthis! In the decade prior to heysel, English teams had won 7 out of 9 champions leagues. Liverpool were rampant with 4, vila with 1 and forest won 2 back to back. Italian teams didn’t start dominating until after 1985, after the suspension.

[@GreigStott]

Remember this like it was yesterday

[@SandyYoung1]

Keegan couldn’t help himself with that Schmeichel nut meg comment ,its almost as if he knew his Newcastle team would go up against him two years later and he’d single handedly deny him the title on his own turf.....

[@nickycotton6137]

Aye, also not heard him 'on the 🎤' for AGES! But on ESPN nowadays apparently! edit: Think he's retired as it goes.

[@windsonalves1160]

Romário na cidade natal do Oasis.

[@ahrrtuu]

Scholes's first match in Champions League

[@civiliglen]

And completely unfazed

[@MrThedonhead]

People forget keane wasn't much older the class of 92

[@alexlemelin3217]

exciting stuff

[@lonewolf-rf5xx]

Then got battered at nou camp these were the days you could only have 4 foreign players on the pitch i believe

[@SKa-tt9nm]

3

[@johncambridge7339]

Bakero was some player

[@MrThedonhead]

Shame Sharpe wasnt such a plum and just concentrated on football, he would of been there with the class of 92, but he wasn't anywhere near the level of Giggs so be hard for him to get a place

[@Ali_shadad]

Barcelona in camp nou win 4-0

[@neilgamble6340]

Bring back the 3 foreign players only rule

[@broza82]

I do not want to play against Keane and Ince at the same time. I'd be ☠

[@DissidentNomad]

Is that Dennis Law alongside Bob Wilson?

[@liambyrne3488]

Kevin Keegan

[@walidhanibal3665]

visca Barca

[@dondamon4669]

Great attacking but terrible defending by Utd

[@SKa-tt9nm]

Stoichkov and Romario were the two best players in the world in 1994. No shame on allowing 2 goals in this game.

[@soulsmischief2626]

@@SKa-tt9nm i would say alongside baggio and maldini

[@SKa-tt9nm]

@@soulsmischief2626maldini is the greatest defender I’ve ever seen play. However, in 1994 specifically: Hristo won the ballon dor, a golden boot, scored the winning goal that gave Barca their 4th title in a row and helped his nation reach 4th place at the WC. Romario was voted fifa player of the world, golden ball for best player at WC, won the WC with Brazil and was absolutely dominant with Barca, scoring 30 goals in la Liga alone.

[@soulsmischief2626]

@@SKa-tt9nm yeah, both were brilliant, but don't forget Baggio. He was insane and on their level. Special shout to Gianluca Vialli, who was spectacular in 1994/95.

[@polinganerouniversal]

United would have probably won this game with Cantona in the field. Butt was too immature to play this game and Hughes would have done a lot better with a real 10 instead of Paul Ince who was better coming from behind.

[@SKa-tt9nm]

Couldn’t play him. 3 foreigner rule.

[@DSMcLeod]

And turns out that was AC Milan not Barcelona 🤷🏻‍♂️
