1990 IMO with the FA Cup, however that whole run with Ferguson was amazing. Even those we lost were either close run or bad luck. 92 league, 94 League Cup, 95 league, 98 league and UCL etc etc (UCL was pain for United throughout the 90s and 2000s. It was either draconian rules in which we couldn't play our real team, away goals or straight up injustice....come the end it was the greatest team of players in my memory, Barcelona that denied us 3 champions leagues in 4 years). To this day I believe it is Ferguson's biggest regret, not securing more Champions League trophies than we should have.

I agree with you man , it was a great concept from a football purest view, but think now with the money in the game all the big teams in Europe have so much money and squad's they're winning a lot of doubles and trebles now , so with them being in the Champions League they can't compete in the European Cup Winners Cup, And it will demeanor the Cup if a lot of teams in the tournament were the Domestic Cup runner's up I think that's why in the late 1990s the tournament was done away with , too many Big teams doing doubles and trebles, The answer though (for me) Champions League just the league winners from each European country Europa league - 2nd 3rd 4th from each country's league complete, it'd be a much stronger and better and prestigious competition Europa Conference , from 5th to 8th or 10th in the leagues compete.......

It was the easiest of the 3 European trophies to win but it was always considered the 2nd most prestigious. If a team qualified for the UEFA Cup through their league position but won their domestic cup they entered the Cup Winners Cup. And the winners of the Cup Winners Cup played the European Cup winners in the Super Cup. Plus it came with the added bonus of the final being played as a one off game at a neutral venue.

This is when everything was starting to fall into place for Utd. You might actually trace it back to a day in early January 1990 when a Manchester Utd team in terrible form in the league went to the City ground needing a win in the FA Cup to keep their season alive, you might also remember a section of Utd supporters who probably still dont show their faces, Unfurled the famous banner “3 Years Of Excuses And It’s Still Crap. Ta Ra Fergie.” . No one expected Utd to go to Nottingham and get anything. Forrest were a very good side especially at home but Mark Robins got the all important goal in a 1-0 win. Then there was the famous Oldham game and Robbins goal again. But I trace it all back to that day in January 1990 when things started to change.

@@mcfcfan1870Yes that cup needs to be brought back
I watched this in a chip shop in Sunderland. The ladies that worked there said we could watch it as long as we bought food. Happy, fatter and skint by the end of the night.
People forget this Barca team won the European Cup the following year. 19 year old Lee Sharpe was exceptional in this game, and Sparky's goal was incredible from an impossible angle.
Funny enough he scored one from a similar angle in the league also that yr
Yep they beat Juventus in the Semi's too to get to Rotterdam they were the favourites. Man Utd had beaten Pecs, Wrexham, Montpellier and Legia Warsaw.
And Ronald Koeman scored a great freekick in that final too.
sharpey was great for 3 seasons. Preferred over giggs in my book. better looking too!
Something never said about Sharpe was how brave he was...played like a 30 yr old that night...immense for 3 years...injuries and illness, lack of confidence did for him...not nights out...should have had 80 plus England caps
What a player Mark Hughes was.
Hard as nails too
And Sparky makes it 24 this season
A proper United hero.. Cant remember how many "get in" moments he gave us.. 👍
Held the ball up better than a brick wall
@@chebss Brick wall is right, a Legend. 👍
1990 cup final. Start of my united addiction. Watched the final on TV but missed the replay! I was 8 years old. I remember the cup winners cup campaign, week in week out back in the day. I was glued to every game. Special times :)
I first went to Old Trafford in November 1985. I couldn't get a ticket for the 1990 final but I went to the replay. Brilliant times.
18 YEARS old when we won this. UNBELIEVABLE night les sealey rip
29 yrs no
30yrs ago
U all are just capping
Les was a great part of Fergies build.. 👍 A great keeper.. 👍 Not like Chris "oops" Turner. 😂 😂 😂 One Love.
@Bob Bobbin yeah I remember him playing for Wednesday. He was a good keeper for them.. And United.. Just not when I was watching.. 👍
Brian Moore....best commentator ever wasnt he! Makes a great game even greater
He was fantastic
A million times better than awful Motty.
Actually, I didn't like Moore as a commentator but I thought he was an excellent interviewer.
Unfortunately He wouldn’t tick the boxes to be hired for today’s commentary teams
I was 21 when I watched this. What a game. Les Sealey and Brian Moore, may God be good to you both from an Irish Red.
To this day I still cannot believe the quality of that Hughes finish. No doubt one of the best finishes I've ever seen.
His goals per game ratio was nothing special though.
@@EvoGoody Who gives a toss about 'ratios'.....each and every goal Sparky scored was a belter!
@@Dandroid5000 I'll take strikers who score more goals rather than how good the goals look. His goals record was OK but no more. He did give a lot to the team though and was a great footballer overall.
Don't listen to the haters David. Sparky scored some crucial goals for Utd to kick off the prolonged period of success we were embarking on Inc. the second against Barca here, and the stoppage time FA Cup Semi equaliser against Oldham in the season we went on to win the double
@@EvoGoody search’Mark Hughes hold up play’ and ‘Mark Hughes volleys’ on KZhead and you will see how good he was. Such a strong player, how we could do with him now!
I am a celtic fan who seen Fergie and his Aberdeen team.When he went to utd in 86 I was convinced he would turn utd round, he just had that thing about him. Was delighted to see utd win the fa cup in 90, gave him a lifeline, but this was the game, and cup, where i thought watch man utd go now, he has the fans behind him, he will do great things at utd. Not a utd fan but watched as his teams dominated. Fergie is a legend.
Little me was in tears when we one this. It was such a great match!
Two nights in Amsterdam first, train through to Rotterdam on the day, concert in the fan park headlined by James, brilliant match then back to Amsterdam and the whole city partied till the following morning. Thank you Manchester United for giving me some of the highlights of my life. GGMU. LUHG.
Brian Moore what a great commentator
Thank u all who played for man u. Made my day watching it live on tv. Bryan, Sparky, McClair, Sharpy....what great lads u were...n still are!
I was 20 when we won this, and I couldn't believe I had seen us win a European trophy...it was English clubs first season back in Europe ..Barca beat juve in their semi....it was actually my greatest night as a united supporter...went Rotterdam, but not to the match...so what followed for the next 20 years was literally the stuff of dreams...... where sir Alex took us was to football heaven.....I remember as a 8 year old staying up not knowing the score and see us lose 6. 0 to Ipswich...so to see us conquer Europe and win constant league titles...is something I will think about for the rest of my life, and I saw it all .. from this night on
Considering we'd lost the Rumbelows Cup Final to Sheffield Fucking Wednesday that season, this was the booster we needed. And this Barca team won the European Cup the next season they were no mugs either.. Sparky's finish is still up there iwith the best, absolute arrow from that angle.
The greatest cup final with the greatest kit EVER.
Yes! I've always said that this is the best kit United EVER had, it's absolutely beautiful. I have an original replica which is one of my most prized football shirts.
How Mark Hughes isn't considered one of the 10-ten strikers of all time is beyond me
Relax
What a player Robson was, what a captain!
The day I fell in love with utd, I still get emotional watching Hughes that day. Unreal
SPARKY and MCLAIR should be in hall of fame and CAPTAIN MARVEL Loved Bryan Robson from David Forest fan since 1977
Mud on the pitch , hard tackling and real passion ,...sadly things lacking in the modern game
Yep. Real men
The back passing would have driven you mad.
Nostalgia at best 😶
I love how players actually tackled and got on with it, it would've been 5 a side in today's game.
Brilliant second goal from Mark Hughes. He scored some amount of spectacular goals. Would have loved to have seen him at Ibrox.
I’ve still got this United final shirt. Pristine condition 👊🏻
Hope we do it again in the UEL Final on May 26th! GGMU!
Ian Deeley Unfortunately that didn't happen Ian ☹️
One of my favourite Utd memories. A time when even the Cup Winners Cup Final had an epic feel about it. I remember how half of Manchester seemed to decamp to Rotterdam for that game. Good times!
The roots begining here, they give their junior class 1992 boost morale by watching the senior
Probably Man Uniteds most forgotten trophy win ever
Loved watching this again and glad to say O was there !
This was the result that made United believe in their future.
Remember watching this at a mates house(miss you)stoned while his parents were on holiday and stuck with me the way Hughes looks up twice,before and after he puts it exactly where he wanted to. Great times filled with great days and nights.
Wonderful club with a beautiful history, like in the real life. Pain, joy, and love. Legend's club!
Remember the game very well. Hughsie was awesome in that game. And one of my all time fav man utd players.
Mark hughes the best united striker
30 years ago today. Where has that time went? Wonderful memories 🔴⚪️⚫️
even more impressive when you consider its pretty much all british lads against a world stars barcelona
@The Ugly Irish he said world stars, not Spanish stars...
busquets's dad wasn't as good as Zubi.
@The Ugly Irish Koeman and Laudrup aren't Spanish are they you pleb
And Mark Hughes had already been part of their World XI, I don't think it went so well. But he showed 'em!
Plus Denis Irwin.
What a finish from Mark Hughes, from such a tight angle and the ball hitting the corner of the net before the ground. Whatever about him taking credit for the first, no question about taking it for the second!
Proud to be Manchester United fan...
I was there that night United fans were brilliant, we took three sides of the stadium
I think it was one of your best night ever
@@bilesanwatv4174 try 8 years later.
Who's here before the Uefa Europa League round of 32 clash second leg between Manchester United and Barcelona at Old Trafford?!
Fantastic and after a 5 year ban due to another game and team(s) fans. Gave them great confidence to go into bigger things. A big trophy back in the day.
This was a great cup to win.. some fantastic player in that United team
Back in the day when bbc and ITV canceled whatever was on the telly to show Manchester united live.
And rightly so! 🇾🇪
Wow, nostalgia. I was 18 watching this and previously being gifted with this name my parents gave me back in 1973.
Great win for United. From a Rangers supporter...👍
Remember watching this live. Set them up for all the success in the 90s. And what a ball by Robson to Hughes!
Actually the goal feels a bit like a combination of both of United's goals against Liverpool in the 1985 FA Cup semi-final replay. Scored by Robson and Hughes....
@@robicenco1 yes... 2 outstnding leaders on the pitch for that team... they did it on the big occasion many a time...both scored in the 1990 fa cup final draw too...even in the 4 minute highlights robson was outstanding in terms of setting up both goals and his tackling..a crunching tackle on laudrup near the end...huhges at his buccaneering best
What a player Mark Hughes was , up there with the best strikers
This is the moment my heart is belong to MU. Remember after 5yrs since 1986 was one of MU fan. Hardly to watch MU live on tv 80s furthermore at that time Msia tv has limited show on football development especially outside country. For those MU follower at my time was the only media to listen radio station SW1 live from Old Trafford. Huhuhu also terrible sometime the receiving always lost signal. Another media to read is Magazine's but for those Lipop fan there are always live on TV2.
Recuerdo haber estado en esta Final de la Recopa de Europa de 1991 en Rotterdam, aunque me fui muy triste, también me sentí muy orgulloso de un aficionado más del FC Barcelona.
The Great Sir Alex
4:17 Guaranteed nowadays players would go down looking for a pen in that situation.
Bryan Robson was a fantastic captain. What a player.
I was there that night in Rotterdam 2 thirds of the stadium was utd great night and great memories
Was like a home game rain and all.....
Remember watching this game .Getting old.
Still remember this like it was yesterday!
When commentators were commentators not like today ex footballers making a living on TV and often on Tv because they tick the boxes.
Yeah, like Jimmy Hill, Bob Wilson, Trevor Brooking, Andy Gray and Alan Hansen you mean? :D
Today we have garbage like Alex Scott and Sue Smith
@@basedelon You mean people who know f*** all about football.
My heroes. Hughes was a monster of a player. WELL underrated.
Back when top level football wasn’t sterile and soulless.
Great game and great win for Utd. I'm not a Man U fan but as an Englishman was supporting them to win. Can't believe how bobbly the pitch was?! Also how much this win meant to the players and this was at the time supposedly the 3rd best European trophy after the European and UEFA Cup! Uefa should bring back the Cup Winners Cup!
It was the easiest of the 3 European trophies to win but it was always considered the 2nd most prestigious. If a team qualified for the UEFA Cup through their league position but won their domestic cup they entered the Cup Winners Cup. And the winners of the Cup Winners Cup played the European Cup winners in the Super Cup. Plus it came with the added bonus of the final being played as a one off game at a neutral venue.
The De Kuip is one of my favourite stadiums. Looks so unusual without its roof.
I was 9 when this happened. Watched it with my grandad. He introduced me to utd. Hughes got that banger and my gramps was dancing. Next time i saw him dance was 99. 🤣
I miss this competition.
That's why it's the beautiful game
Bryan Robson ❤
Probably one of the most intense hangovers I ever had😨edge of the seat football!!!
Bryan Robson played a brilliant game. At 34.
Hughes was something else. Legend
Cup winner Cup, the 2nd important Cup in Europe
Steve the Bruce!
This is when everything was starting to fall into place for Utd. You might actually trace it back to a day in early January 1990 when a Manchester Utd team in terrible form in the league went to the City ground needing a win in the FA Cup to keep their season alive, you might also remember a section of Utd supporters who probably still dont show their faces, Unfurled the famous banner “3 Years Of Excuses And It’s Still Crap. Ta Ra Fergie.” . No one expected Utd to go to Nottingham and get anything. Forrest were a very good side especially at home but Mark Robins got the all important goal in a 1-0 win. Then there was the famous Oldham game and Robbins goal again. But I trace it all back to that day in January 1990 when things started to change.
3:18 Back when the commentator would explain something really obvious about one of the world's best players assuming it would be news to most of the audience.
RIP Les Sealey. To think he would die of a Heart attack . Just 10 years after this final. 😮😔
Barca won the big cup only a season later. Some goal from Hughes⚽️👏🏼
Remember this age 13 sat with can of LILT and snicker bar ( marathon) 😂😂 And wanting to watch Crystal maze on another channel oh and prisoner cell block H later on In evening 🤣 memories eh !!
Went to Rotterdam on United coach trip via Dover wot a top trip great time's
Always look on the bright side of life
1st important trophy for Man Utd in the Ferguson era
I was there......great night .❤❤ never seen this players interview before though! Maybe I have? Was a long time ago, Montpellier was probably the best away game ever tho n the square watching Blackpool reds put the flag up the tall as fuck pole!
SAF "There heros now they're Legends"
Back to my childhood when Hughes, Robson, and McClair were my heroes. I thought they were the best players in the world. Never thought that we're gonna have much better players in Scholes, Giggs, Beckham, van Nistelrooy, Rooney, or van Persie. More importantly, 15 years later football in general will be having two of best players of all time: Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the GOAT.
RIP les sealey 🕊
Great memories ,but the Barcelona keeper had a shocker !
I think their 1st choice keeper Zubizarreta was injured? Spain’s No.1 also.
The keeper is Sergio Busquets' father...Carles Busquets.
@@ClassicManUtdVideos Zubizarreta was suspended as he got a costly yellow card for time wasting in Turin against Juventus in the Semi Final 2nd Leg. Amor was sent off in same match was suspended also. Hristo Stoichkov was injured and missed the final
Poor ol' Les didn't do so great for their goal either. I liked Les ... RIP.
@@tonyinit8488 End of Les's only season as first choice keeper. Schmeichel signed two months later.
So different back then it was just desperate go for it football as they weren’t fit like today! They looked so different as well! Was great to watch much more passionate and exciting though today’s obviously technically better but imagine if players today had that drive
This was the start of the golden era of man utd under fergusson
Those were the days
Who is here as a bradford city supporter
Chúa ơi ! Hôm nay mới vớ được clip này , tôi vẫn còn giữ được mảnh báo thể thao văn hóa tường thuật lại trận đấu này . Nhìn Sir Alex ông trẻ thật , còn Bryan Robson , Bryan Mc Clairs hay Marc Hughes nữa chứ , quá tuyệt MU . Mãi mãi MU , và bắt đầu thời kỳ MU thống trị nước Anh
I remember watching it at my mum and dads house
Hughesy’s 2nd brought a smile to my face. One of my earliest memories 😁
It looks like if Hughes hit that just 1mph slower the defender would get it it. Incredible finish under pressure.
Main difference is that back then players play for honours. Today...players play for money
30 years ago in Rotterdam Holland andthisyearChampUropaagain in Poland26 may 2021
Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce X-ManU star player but never offered as Man U manager
LiverpooL fan here but thaT United kit was heaven sent
I watched this in Wood dean children’s home in Blantyre.
Overall FC Barcelona had 6 finals in the Cup Winners Cup, the 2 they lost Against Slovan Bratislava in 1969 and this one against Manchester United, the 4 they won, against Furtunia Düsseldorf in 1979, Standard Liege in 1982, Sampdoria in 1989 and Paris Saint Germain in 1997. Manchester United also beat Barcelona in the 1983/84 Cup Winners Cup Quarter final but lost the semi against eventual winners Juventus.
Loved it when it wasn't HD. Every European had an other worldly feel about it. Tango footballs, managers smoking on the bench, big pixels by season, mad sponsors, crazy kit manufacturers for Barcelona etc.
