Brilliant times back then.. nothing like it used to be. Not a utd fan but cheered them on in the champions league..

The cannon board in the background 😊😊

It really is nostalgia. I grew up in 70s and for me those 2 legs matches are still worth watching, specially since back then there was no group stage; rather from day one it was a 2 legs Competiton. If you lost, you were out and that is what made those games even more entertaining and since live TV broadcast were few and far between, it made them really worthwhile to watch.

Old style ball & pitch of grass & earth, now a big ping pong ball that makes playing & trick shots easy & so fast that tackling almost obsolete.

​@onetoten1if you had/have Sky then you funded what has become a near different game.

I totally agree!. Greetings from Manchester!.

Right. There will NEVER be another Roy Keane.

Yep. But, it's football ⚽

When u say legends and soccer at the same time 😶.

credits mostly went to Real Madrid for bringing so many stars down into the field

😂

Yes but who would you rather be now?

@@djstabilo100 ronaldo

@@prabhavvenkatesh9247 😎👍

Old Trafford gave Ronaldo a standing ovation when he came off, he couldn't believe it.

the first and third goals were spectacular.

Bartez's positioning though😢

they were big names, but this real madrid from 5 years ago led by CR7 are much stronger and they won everything

R9 was so much more talented than CR7

@@richardconte3837 Ha ha in what way? Ronaldo was a great player but in no way can be compared with Christiano Ronaldo. He's perhaps the best finisher in the world ever.

How good was Raúl - what a player

@@SurajInd89 oh well R9 is only the greatest number 9 in history of the game and if not for his knee injuries he could have been the greatest player in history. We are talking about a guy who played in a time that the serie A was considered the toughest competition with the hardest defenders . I've seen this guy shake off 4 defenders that were pulling his shirt at the same time, simply because he was that good and that unstoppable. Never seen Cristiano do that and Messi neither. And I consider them both legends. But the phenomenon was unique.

Getting Man U fans to put down their sandwiches is a real achievement

Total class from the fans for the magician that was Ronaldo9

@TheDaverobinson would be worse if you where scouse, you could never find your h/t rat snack if you set it down.

Too right mate. I have to be frank though these times I was disgusted with Man U fans, not too long ago when this was happening the fans and all England fans booed the living daylights out this man, was bloody disgusting

@@TheDaverobinson as much as id like to have a go at you for this comment, this is too bloody funny mate 🤣

He was nowhere near world class. He was a very good player but let's not pretend he was on the same level as the likes of Figo, Zidane or og Ronaldo in this Madrid team. THEY were world class.

His free kicks, world class, short passes world class, long passes world class. Overhyped a lot yes. He Came second for world best player. Scored goal in three world cups for his country. Won everything in England playing a huge part. What is world class, an opinion based on what people consider world class.

@@Luckybjj614 did you watch this vid? how many of his passes actually were completed? like 3 out of 20........... his free kicks were world class and that's it.

He definitely was appreciated at the time. However, he’s now massively underrated

Doing great things is US (MLS)? 😅😅😅... please please 😅😅😅😅😅

No where close, Juninhio Pernambucano ,Andrea Pirlo, Pierre Van Hooijdonk , Lionel Messi . are all better free kick takers than him.

Roberto Carlos for Brazil vs France in Le Tournoi 1998 is the best free kick ever scored.

@@alancawfield6549 you high? None of them can shoot afar like Beckham did till now

his performance in the 1st leg was better than ronaldo's

Showing the Real fans who they were getting for next season.

Nah. His time at Man United was up when Ferguson kicked a boot at Beckham that left a cut just above his left eye.

@@aabidamn He did say sorry to Beckham... I've got the book... interesting read about what happened...

@@JulianSirian It was unintentional, but Ferguson had been very critical of Beckham for several years, particularly that season. He kept openly criticizing the way Beck's dress and his hairstyles, eventhough his performance on the pitch hadn't dropped because of it. I remember thinking that they're trying to push him out of Man United like they did to Stam and at the end of the season, I was proven right.

He played well enough coming on that Real wanted him. I was in Madrid at the time and the Spanish were impressed with his performance

Hi Benjamin, it's funny just as the World championships are being played, our team the germans have been manipulated and brainwashed for political purposes. And you can see it in their game. We, a group of older people, discussed about the old times and football in particular. We named those who had participated in the first european championship in 1972 and what artists they had been. And even as late as 2014, when Germany won the world cup, those players where magic and are still highly respected when invited to a round of discussion. Today all has to be about gender, political correctness and one sees the decline of great football playing. (and of course there is too much money involved today). Hope for future generations that one day they experience that what we have all these years!

What!

Thank you

It's football, you can only score or not score.

Keep your Americanisms in American sports, nobody hits "home runs" here.

David said in his book that he was shocked at his reaction when he (david) watched the game on tv later

Did 5000 people sneak into Old Trafford that night or something ?

Apologies for forgetting my dates

"off"...

@@alanlane3670 are you an English teacher?

@@keithscott663 Yes

How had they had the game won. If united had scored all their chances they would have gone through. Stop making things up on the internet you child

How do you dominate a game and lose it 😭😭😭im done with these fifa kids 💀💀💀💀did mbappe dominate argentina cos he scored. A hat trick? No they got slapped about and beat on penalties hold this L

@@Johndoe-gf7eu Madrid won the first game 3-1. They lost the second game 4-3, but still went through, quite easily on aggregate. Beckham's goals were scored when his team were 6-3 behind on aggregate. They would have needed two more goals to go through. Don't kid yourself. United were well beaten.

Definitely. Barthez done more harm than good

Indeed. In a rewatch. Rio was absolutely destroyed by ronaldo. Roy keane was out of his dept. But it was obvious that iker casillas was the superior goalkeeper. That stood out.

Yes, I remember that - and the look of confusion on his face as the opposition fans gave him a standing ovation ! We also chanted for Fergie to buy him... We won but not by enough goals. No idea why the title mentioned Beckham. He was part of a great team.

Not true.. He was constent.. Hed just fallen out with fergie before this game.. Hence he was a sub

I think David knew his time was up, so his head was gone at this point

Trust me no one forgets how good ronaldo phenomeno was

But look who was in goal, Barthez should have saved both of Ronaldos goals.

Becks made a lot of high risk forward passes so of course a lot will not come off but when they do you're in behind
