 * 1999 UEFA Champions League final between Manchester United and Bayern Munich played at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain.
 * Late goals from Manchester United's Teddy Sheringham (90+1') and 81' substitute Ole Gunnar Solskjær (90+3') cancelled out Mario Basler's 6' goal for Bayern to give Manchester United a 2–1 win and their first European Cup title since 1968, their second overall.
 * Man. Utd.'s win gave them the historic 'treble' of Premier League, FA Cup and European Cup victories. It was also the ultimate redemption for David Beckham who had had a difficult year after being sent off in the 1998 World Cup against Argentina.
 * On 26 May 2019, Manchester United hosted a reunion match at Old Trafford against a Bayern Munich Legends team to mark the 20th anniversary of winning the treble and to raise money for the Manchester United Foundation. Manchester United won the match 5–0
