Manchester United win the 1999 Champions League Final: 80 pictures of the famous Camp Nou comeback

The greatest comeback in Champions League Final history?

Neutral fans will be locked in an eternal debate over that one, but one thing's for sure - when May 26 rolls around, there is only one answer for Manchester United supporters.

With United's hopes of a Treble hanging by a thread as the 1999 Champions League Final against Bayern Munich headed into injury time at Camp Nou, everything changed.

Substitute Teddy Sheringham turned home a Ryan Giggs slice from close range to surely send the game into extra-time - but United weren't done yet.

Another one of Sir Alex Ferguson's subs, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - remember him? - then flicked a Sheringham header into the top corner of Bayern's net to seal a scarcely believable victory for the Red Devils.

With so many iconic images to choose from - the celebrations of Sheringham, Solskjaer and Peter Schmeichel; the dejection of the Bayern players; Fergie finally lifting the European Cup - scroll through the gallery above for all the best pictures from that night.
