‘Incredible feeling’
Ian Woodley, one of an estimated 7,000 United supporters to have made the trip, warned against writing off Barcelona and is well-placed to judge. He has been coming to the city to cheer on United for nearly a quarter of a century, watching them lose here in 1984 and 1994 then produce a mesmerising performance in a 3-3 draw in 1998. Nothing, though, can compare with 1999. “Indescribable,” he said of United’s breathtaking added-time comeback to win the UEFA Champions League against FC Bayern M�nchen in the Camp Nou. “We knew time was up but didn’t how much was left, we lost track. We made the substitutions and scored the first goal and a lot of people don’t remember a thing after that. I remember feeling very numb – an incredible feeling. But suddenly we knew we would win.” Ole Gunnar Solskj�r was United’s hero that night. Will Messi come to Bar�a’s rescue tonight? |

Quem dera vivesse na Europa e recebesse em euro: viveria indo a todos os grandes est�dios do Velho Mundo para acompanhar o meu time na UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.
Acima, o breve depoimento do torcedor do MANCHESTER UNITED (em inglês) IAN WOODLEY, com histórias memoráveis de derrotas e de vitórias no CAMP NOU diante do BARCELONA.
A bem da verdade, a única vitória dos RED DEVILS na CATALUNHA até aqui foi justamente em 1999, quando o MANCHESTER UNITED sagrou-se campeão contra o BAYERN MÜNCHEN com aquele rabo e oportunismo inesquecível do pequenino goleador norueguês já aposentado OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER.
Contra o BARÇA, por enquanto, o máximo que se obteve foi um empate em 3×3 em 1998.
Hoje, um placar igual seria O OURO.
