balabala76 Arse anal

442oons?

lmao xDDDD

oldfrend 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

lol

I just looked at the thumbnail and thought it is Wolverine lol

Level comment haha

Top level meant

It was against 1-0 arsenal…..

Look at arsenal attacking, Bergkamp, Overmars, Anelka, so creepy

@@cheenangng4050 it was actually 2-1 and this goal was in extra time

@@sebastiangomez6912 what?🤔 how can a 2-1 lead take you to extra time??

@@riddley39 he means to say that it was 1-1 till 90 minutes but in the 30 minute extra time, Ryan Giggs scored the goal.

Certainly right up there at the very top mate. Ok, there have been higher scoring games that rank as "classics" but this was two heavyweights, at their best, throwing haymakers but none were even causing the opponent to flinch. It took a very rare, great moment to settle it.

Never ever again will we see a goal like that a player like that a formidable team like that they don't make them like this anymore

I'd say the referee was spot on as well, it's ironic, that todays ref can't get these simple things right with all their technology available, yet this guy delivered fair judgement on the day without anything other than his linesmen to help him.

All in one. 🎉

Best game ever? The hyperbole that followed 1990s Manchester United continues...

No it was because of Diego Forlan during his time at Man Utd

I was just joking lol. But yeah, the Forlan incident was funny as hell.

Lol

Amazon jungle

whats the reason

Terrible human

Thank u Patrick

That goal could only be scored in the 90s. Modern day he would have been tackled well. Terribly overrated

Man chest hair

@@craigirwin1371 how old are you? Football in the 90s was much better than now there isnt a world class deffender in football today

True but Messi Gol vs getafe solo

@@zainyardo1136 That goal is simply amazing as well; as was Messi's genius on the ball.

@@khy6330 Messi's solo goal v/s Madrid was better

Not run that fast since Rhodri came home early.

That's going too far. Giggs was a top player, but he was actually at his best when he was young and had crazy pace. He was so dangerous then. He quickly lost that half yard of pace though and then was normally one of the best players on the pitch but rarely standout. As Keane once said, a great career and a great player are not the same things. I could probably concede Giggs was a great player but depending on how you define the word great

I like Giggs steak bakes.

It wasn't a pass and the ball came back ofc the keeper

@@kaiprophet4428 That's not how off-sides works. You cannot be behind the last man, if the ball is played forward, and then proceed to take advantage of that position in any form. Even if you are no where near where the ball ends up, if you so much as start to make a run it is still called.

@@MrFrankyGification umm can u like explain it simpler??

@@MrFrankyGification That's actually not true. Players often stand in an offside position at set pieces because they aren't effecting that phase of play.

@@ZolaMagic25 Standing (off-sides trap) is not the same as running to take advantage of where you started off standing. You clearly miss read what I said, because I never mentioned standing as a violation. I said taking advantage of your position is a violation. If a player makes any advantageous movement while off-sides, which is basically anything other than standing or walking back on-sides, they will be called for it.

beckham man??? people forgot schmeichels penalty save in final minute 😁. but offcourse anyone will with that solo goal down to 10 man

Yes Andrew! Beckham's goal was pure class. He was a consistently great player! But Giggsy's goal... simply wonderful.

From that distance with no defender in front of him, it's almost unfair.

People forget that Beckham was world class. Period.

Also credit to his teammate who served it like a freekick

I wouldn't believe that, as much as I wouldn't ever believe an Arsenal fan telling me that their club, along with Everton, have never been demoted from the top tier. 🤣

I agree mate, unbearable tension and intensity. Those who watched it live and knew football from that time know this.

ahh yes 'meant nothing' wins treble

Class of '92 forever though

and this was one of the best matches I ever watched, it had everything and ended up meaning so much.

yeah, plenty of boring football.

iamforchange ... many miracles in 1999 ... this game, the 2nd leg against Juventus at Turin when 2-0 down ... they won 3-2 (!), and of course the final vs Bayern, scoring 2 injury time goals to win the game 2-1. The fairy tale among all fairy tales.

People tend to forget just how tough a road it was to the Treble; in the FA Cup we played and defeated all of our rivals at the top of the PL - Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea and Keegan's Newcastle team spearheaded by Shearer. The Final against them was one of the easiest games as it happens. And of course in the European Champion's League we had to get past Barcelona, Inter, Juventus and also Bayern Munich in the group stage as well as the Final. In fact Brøndby in the group stage were the only inferior team United met en route to the Final. So much for the constant ABU whining that United always get easy draws in Europe!

Harry Parsons I

looooooool

Haha

Good eye mate

Haha 😅 hillarious

Scholes was one the best, yet most underrated midfielders ever. So technical instead of flashy

@@PatrickMondal He might well be, but that penalty should have been retaken as Scholes was well into the area as the ball was struck!

Thats one thing that i think VAR has changed for the better. It used to be laughable how inconsistent ref were with reinforcement of that rule.

Now it would've been a foul.

Well spotted!😏👹

what was that pass bro is he blind or what??

xd

then they rated him one of the best midfielder lol

Thank you

Blew you RossKempOnYourMum01

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Of all time? Mm not sure about that

Me too

@@biplopqusquddin2278 it really was one of the best matches in football history. Absolutely pivotal game for both teams at the peak of their rivalry, a game-changing penalty save and one of the greatest goals of all time. What else do you need?

@@noradosmith El Classico?

Fatigue?

Tbf lingard scored 2 similar but inferior goals against Leicester in the shield and Watford in the premier league

This hasn’t aged well

@@jackmcloughlin9852 How so? I'd say looking at his recent resurgence it has aged remarkably well.

You know there can be more than one feed right? Sometimes they will have a different commentator for overseas broadcast since they use a different (but still UK produced) feed from the broadcast in the UK.

I was at that game and don't appreciate you reminding me that I'm that old. Still feels like yesterday.

karma in 2005 when rio's goal got disallowed bitch.

I've never understood why players cheer when they get given a penalty. You should wait until the ball's in the back of the net.

nice open goal miss by giggsy 4 year's later, and vieria to score the winning goal in the final 6 year's later, put a sock in it now.

@@clockendthugnomercytheherd3182 a wonderful reminder to the pigs, and quiet frankly,this video I am fed up appearing again,United were shit then and just as shity just like now

Sunthara Rajan Then why are you here?

Apart from Viera's 'pass', which was a moment of unsurpassed 🤪

It really isn't. And a back 5 that crumpled like a poppadom being struck by a cannon ball btw, let's not make out he had to work hard and use cunning or skill to get through them....and once he was through he was faced with a GK who thought the best way to save it was to lie down. This is one of the most overrated goals there is. Paolo Wanchope scored a better goal against Utd than this! Come to think of it so did Darren Huckerby. There's arguably quite a few better FA cup goals than this that's without the Trevor Sinclair overhead kick that OBVIOUSLY is. Dennis Bergkamp Vs Sunderland is better. David Ginola Vs Barnsley was better. Eric Cantona Vs Wimbledon was better

I'm an arsenal fan and this game was what top football was about! If bergkamp scores we go on to win double but this was the catalyst to you winning the treble! 👏👏 Great solo goal by giggs

i think Munich would argue they were at least 2nd best in Europe that season..

I’m an Arsenal fan and I feel the same, great times ( well apart from this night) ! But you know what i mean.

@@madmuppet8039 time traveler here, you will sign Christiano Ronaldo in 2 years

Time traveller here, you're back in the ucl

It’s worse

Dont forget Peter Schmeichel. Class goalkeeper

I can see why you'd praise Beckham's football, but let's rewind for "intelligence".

Evren K he has help from the courts

Original 🥱🥱

But I dont believe his brother wife was also fine with it

Player

He was having an affair with her long before she decided to marry his brother and then sold her story to the gutter press

Patrick Vieira. Absolute legend of the dumbfoundingly nonsensical stray pass. Congratulations Patrick - 🥇

Yeah mate, remember all of it. It was such a tight, intense game that the sending off seemed seismic. It was never going to be one of those games where being a man down would not mean much. I did not see any realistic way Utd could win after it. I was in utter despair when the penalty was given. I do not think I have ever seen a game with the same intensity as this since.

Smalling also did the same in 2016

I remember watching it live on TV but wish I had been there in the stadium.

The player dived though didn't he? Seems like Keane didn't deserve that second yellow at all

keane deserves all yellow and red cards by default just because he's keane

It was. I was lucky enough to be in the Holte End where Giggs scored. The game had everything. A great goal from Beckham and Bergkamp, a sending off, a saved penalty (Bergkamp hardly ever missed and Schmeichel rarely saved pens) and that goal to finish it off. As an individual game it was the best I’ve ever seen.

beaky cole wooly under armour.

beaky cole the mans cold

Long sleeve top I think it was

He was a really great player

​@@MYBIGKINDHEART He was a great player, but that's how many quality players there used to be then, when Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Rivaldo, Nedved, Sheva and the like are winning Ballon d'Or it's freaking hard to win.

@@Mad_Intalect and now all it is is overpaid and over rated players when they're absolutely rubbish and do nothing

@@Mad_Intalect Rivaldo ? Not that fucking cheater please.

@@TheJwwinter Rivaldo was a genius of passing.

Must’ve been so emotional watching it on TV 🤦‍♂️

Jo G yeah nah

Crispo Uk yah

Larry Oconnor you type like a woman

Great treble winning team but not the best in the Premiership alone.

No chance, obviously it's Liverpool's now. 18 points in front & a bunch of other teams trying to deny it with a plethora of excuses whilst crying. Fact.

Ace Temple True. I never spotted that until now and I’ve seen that goal about 30+ times. Some players are totally genuine and a true sports. Nice to see.

Yep fair play to him, especially as he is a bitter blue also!!

To be fair i think he would probably have congratulated him beforehand but he'd only just unscrewed himself from the pitch

where?

Lee and tony went into the utd dressing room after and congragulated the players was a nice touch

I think you can even take the words "of Manchester United" out of that.

you're not the only one

Star platinum

Bergkamp's was a deflection.

Ikr it was so flat

of course not. lucky united as usual

ye lucky my arse player sent off n penalty against us.

Fred White having the majority of the big games be won in the final minutes is not fecking lucky, it’s strength.

Mentesh Ibrahim For intensity no doubt. These two sides didn’t quite hate each other at this point but it would come. Great match though your right.

@@fredwhite9513 cry

I like you 👍

agreed but stuart pearson and 1977 final was superb too

Jesse Lingard.

Paul Pogba definitely footballers are getting too big for there boots now and unfortunately football will never be the same again

They are all legends

Pereira and Lingard make me sick

Mmhm

Lol, the funny part about his bad pass, he had no pressure on him.

I read this comment just as I paused the video to find out who gave that ball away so cheaply.

Match-fixing.

Adedamola Odutayo They we’re trying to play for extra time

I know it's said tongue in cheeck, but even as a United fan, Viera was world class. Huge huge part of the France team's runs in 98 and 06.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yep defo one of a kind .... and a proper player ask rodri

I'm a man Utd Fan but that save against Sheffield United in the FA Cup gives me goosebumps every time.
