1999 UEFA Champions League Final

The 1999 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match between Manchester United of England and
1999 UEFA Champions
Bayern Munich of Germany, played at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain, on 26 May 1999, to determine the winner
League Final
of the 1998–99 UEFA Champions League. It is remembered for injury time goals from Manchester United's
Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær, which cancelled out Mario Basler's early goal to give Manchester
United a 2–1 win.[3][4] United's victory completed a treble-winning season,[5] after they had won the Premier
League[6] and FA Cup.[7] Bayern were also playing for a treble, having won the Bundesliga and reached the DFB-
Pokal final, although they went on to lose that match.
The two sides had played each other earlier in the competition, having both been drawn in Group D in the group
stage; Bayern won the group, while Manchester United qualified for the knockout phase as one of the two best
runners-up across all six groups. After beating Internazionale in the quarter-finals, Manchester United beat
another Italian side, Juventus in the semis to reach the final; meanwhile, Bayern beat fellow Germans
Kaiserslautern in the quarter-finals, before overcoming Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv in the semis.
Referee Pierluigi Collina has cited this match as one of the most memorable of his career, and described the noise
from the crowd at the end of the game as being like a "lion's roar".[8]

Background
Manchester United and Bayern Munich had only met twice in competitive matches before the final, both meetings coming earlier in the 1998–99 season and
both finished as draws.[9] Manchester United's only other German opponents in their history were Borussia Dortmund, against whom they had an overall
winning record, with three wins, two defeats and a draw in their six matches, including a 10–1 aggregate win in the second round of the 1964–65 Inter-Cities
Fairs Cup and a 2–0 aggregate defeat in the 1996–97 UEFA Champions League semi-finals.[10] Bayern Munich had an equally narrow advantage in their 22
matches against English opposition, with seven wins, nine draws and six defeats, including a win over Leeds United in the 1975 European Cup Final and a
defeat to Aston Villa in the 1982 final.[11]
Including the victory over Leeds in 1975, Bayern Munich had won the European Cup on three occasions going into the 1999 final. With three victories in a row
from 1974 to 1976,[12] they became only the third team to achieve such a feat after Real Madrid (1956 to 1960)[13] and Ajax (1971 to 1973).[14] They had also
finished as runners-up twice: in 1982 against Aston Villa[15] and 1987 against Porto.[16] Although Bayern had been waiting 23 years for a European Cup title,
Manchester United had had to wait even longer, their only victory having come in 1968.[17] Their manager then was Matt Busby, who had been seriously
injured in the Munich air disaster, which killed eight of his players on the way back from a European Cup tie in Belgrade 10 years earlier, before rebuilding the
team to become European Cup winners. Busby died in 1994; the day of the 1999 Champions League final would have been his 90th birthday.[18]

Although it was the second Champions League season to feature clubs that had not won their national leagues the year before, Manchester United and Bayern
Munich were the first such clubs to reach the final of the competition.[19] Nevertheless, both went into the match as champions, having won their domestic
leagues in 1998–99; Bayern Munich claimed the Bundesliga title with a 1–1 draw against Hertha BSC on 9 May with three games to go, while Manchester
United left it until the last day of the season (16 May), when they came back from 1–0 down against Tottenham Hotspur to win 2–1 and beat Arsenal to the
title by a point.[20] Both teams were also playing for the Treble; in addition to their league win, Manchester United had beaten Newcastle United in the 1999
FA Cup Final on 22 May to claim the Double,[21] while Bayern were due to play Werder Bremen in the 1999 DFB-Pokal Final on 12 June.[22]

Qualifying round
Since neither Manchester United nor Bayern Munich had won their respective leagues in 1997–98, both sides faced a qualifier to enter the 1998–99
Champions League. Manchester United were drawn against Polish champions ŁKS Łódź and won 2–0 on aggregate, goals from Ryan Giggs and Andy Cole in
the first leg at Old Trafford giving them the victory.[23][24] Bayern Munich had an easier time against Yugoslavian champions Obilić, winning 4–0 in the first
leg at the Olympiastadion with goals from Stefan Effenberg, Giovane Élber, Alexander Zickler and Thorsten Fink, all scored in the space of 17 second-half
minutes.[25] In the second leg, played at Partizan's ground in Belgrade, an 88th-minute goal from Lothar Matthäus rescued a 1–1 draw to give Bayern a 5–1
win on aggregate.[26]
Group stage
In the group stage, Manchester United and Bayern Munich were drawn together in Group D, along with Spanish champions Barcelona and Danish champions
Brøndby, in what was soon known as the "group of death".[27] United and Bayern found themselves bottom of the group after the first round of matches, in
which Bayern lost 2–1 away to Brøndby after surrendering a 1–0 lead in the last three minutes;[28] United, meanwhile, played out a 3–3 draw at home to
Barcelona after twice giving up the lead.[29] The first group stage meeting between United and Bayern took place at the Olympiastadion on matchday 2 and
finished in a 2–2 draw; Élber opened the scoring for Bayern before goals from Dwight Yorke and Paul Scholes gave United the lead, only for a Teddy
Sheringham own goal – brought about by an error by Peter Schmeichel – to level the scores in the 89th minute.[30]
Matchdays 3 and 4 saw double-headers, with Manchester United taking on Brøndby and Bayern Munich playing Barcelona. Manchester United beat Brøndby
6–2 in their first match at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen,[31] then 5–0 at Old Trafford two weeks later.[32] Bayern also recorded a pair of victories over
Barcelona, winning 1–0 at the Olympiastadion[33] and 2–1 at the Camp Nou.[34] On matchday 5, United played their second match against Barcelona – their
first trip to the Camp Nou of the season – and again the two sides played out a 3–3 draw.[35] With Bayern beating Brøndby 2–0 at home, the German side
moved onto 10 points and took top spot in the group going into the final round of matches, one point ahead of United.[36] Qualification for the quarter-finals
was only guaranteed for the group winners,[37] meaning that both United and Bayern had to play for victory in their final match against each other at Old
Trafford. United took the lead just before half-time through a Roy Keane strike from just outside the penalty area; however, Hasan Salihamidžić equalised for
Bayern in the 55th minute and the game finished in a 1–1 draw. The result meant that Bayern finished as group winners, but United's points total was enough
to see them go through as one of the two group runners-up with the best record.[38][39][40]
Knockout stage
In the quarter-finals, Bayern Munich were drawn against Group F winners and fellow German side Kaiserslautern, while Manchester United were paired with
Group C winners Internazionale. Two Dwight Yorke goals gave United a 2–0 win in their first leg at Old Trafford,[41] while Bayern beat Kaiserslautern by the
same scoreline at the Olympiastadion through goals from Élber and Effenberg.[42] In the second leg, Nicola Ventola pulled a goal back for Inter, but Paul
Scholes secured United's passage to the semi-finals with a late away goal.[43] Meanwhile, Bayern won convincingly at Kaiserslautern, as goals from Effenberg,
Carsten Jancker, Mario Basler and an own goal from Uwe Rösler gave them a 4–0 win, 6–0 on aggregate.[44]
United again came up against Italian opposition in the semi-finals, facing Juventus, who had beaten Greek side Olympiacos in the quarters, and Bayern were
drawn against Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv, who beat reigning champions Real Madrid to reach the semis. Both first legs finished as draws; Ryan Giggs
scored in injury time to secure a 1–1 home draw for Manchester United after Antonio Conte had put Juventus ahead midway through the first half,[45] while
Bayern also had to come from behind to draw 3–3 in Kiev.[46] A single goal from Mario Basler proved the difference between Bayern and Dynamo in the
second leg, giving the Germans a 4–3 aggregate win.[47] Manchester United fell behind early in Turin, as Filippo Inzaghi scored twice in the first 11 minutes.
Goals from Keane and Yorke before half-time levelled the tie but gave United the advantage on away goals, before Andy Cole secured victory with the winning
goal seven minutes from time.[48]
Pre-match
Venue and ticketing

The Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona, Spain, was selected as the venue for the final at a meeting of the UEFA
Executive Committee in Lisbon, Portugal, on 6 October 1998.[49] The selection process had begun more than four
months earlier, in May 1998, when FC Barcelona submitted the Camp Nou as a contender to host the match in
recognition of the club's centenary year.[50] The other venues in contention to host the match were London's
Wembley Stadium and Marseille's Stade Vélodrome, but the Camp Nou was considered by UEFA's Stadiums
Commission to be the favourite for its superior security, comfort and capacity.[51]
The Camp Nou had hosted one previous European Cup final: Italian club Milan's 4–0 victory over Steaua
The capacity of the Camp Nou
București of Romania in 1989. It had also hosted two Cup Winners' Cup finals, in 1972 and 1982; the latter was
stadium was reduced from over
won on home turf by Barcelona.[52] 100,000 to 92,000 for the final.
The Camp Nou was constructed over three years from 1954 to 1957 as a replacement for Barcelona's previous
home, the nearby Camp de Les Corts, which had reached its limit for expansion. The original capacity of the Camp
Nou was just over 93,000, but its first major final, the 1972 Cup Winners' Cup Final, was attended by fewer than 25,000 spectators. 1982 was the stadium's
busiest year to date, hosting not only the 1982 Cup Winners' Cup Final, but also five matches at the 1982 FIFA World Cup, including all three matches in
Group A of the second group stage and the semi-final between Poland and Italy. By then, the stadium's capacity had been increased to over 120,000.
Three years after hosting its first European Cup final in 1989, the Camp Nou was selected as the principal stadium for the football tournament at the 1992
Summer Olympics in Barcelona; it was used as the venue for one group match, two quarter-finals, one semi-final and both medal matches as the host nation,
Spain, claimed gold. The following year, the stadium underwent a remodelling that reduced the capacity to around 115,000.
Due to UEFA regulations regarding standing at football matches, the Camp Nou's terraced sections were closed for the 1999 Champions League Final,
reducing the capacity to approximately 92,000. Of these, around two-thirds were reserved for the two finalist clubs (approximately 30,000 tickets each). The
remaining third was divided between fans of FC Barcelona (around 7,500 tickets), UEFA, and competition sponsors.[53] After an initial announcement that the
clubs would only receive 25,000 tickets each, the Independent Manchester United Supporters Association (IMUSA) called that figure "ridiculous", claiming it
would push black market prices to "astronomical levels"; the group's spokesman, Lee Hodgkiss, suggested a figure closer to 50,000 would be more
appropriate, given the stadium's usual capacity of around 115,000.[54] Despite the club receiving only 30,000 tickets, it was estimated that up to 100,000
Manchester United fans travelled to Barcelona for the final, paying around £300 for flights and around £1,000 for match tickets.[55] Many were able to buy
tickets from touts, who had paid up to £400 to buy from Barcelona fans who had bought through their club for the equivalent of £28.[56]
As well as reducing the capacity of the stadium, UEFA also mandated that the Camp Nou pitch be narrowed by 4 metres (13 ft) from 72 metres (236 ft) to 68
metres (223 ft), to match UEFA's 'standard' pitch size.[57]
Match ball
The match ball for the final was the Nike NK 800 Geo, a white ball with a standard 32-panel design. It featured a large "swoosh" across two adjacent
hexagonal panels with the Champions League logo on a pentagonal panel above, and a pattern of five-pointed stars similar to those used in the UEFA
Champions League logo over the entire surface of the ball.[58]
Match officials
The match referee was Pierluigi Collina of the Italian Football Federation.
Collina was promoted to the FIFA International Referees list in 1995, and took
charge of his first UEFA Cup matches in the 1995–96 season. He had only
refereed eight Champions League matches before the 1999 final, three of which
came in the group stage earlier in the season, including the match between
Barcelona and Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou on 4 November 1998; however,
he had also taken charge of four matches at the 1996 Summer Olympics,
including the final between Nigeria and Argentina, and two group stage
matches at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[59] Collina was supported by fellow
Italian officials Gennaro Mazzei and Claudio Puglisi as assistant referees, and
fourth official Fiorenzo Treossi.[1]

shame for neither to wear their traditional colours, and they agreed to toss a coin to see who would have first
choice. Manchester United won the toss and therefore wore their usual European colours of red shirts, white shorts and white socks, while Bayern wore silver
shirts, shorts and socks, all with maroon trim.[60]
Opening ceremony
Prior to kick-off, opera singer Montserrat Caballé – moving around the field on the back of a golf cart[61] –
performed a live version of "Barcelona", a song she recorded with the late Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury in
1987, accompanied by a recording of Mercury on the stadium's electronic screen.[62] The opening ceremony
featured inflatable versions of some of Barcelona's most recognisable landmarks,[63] as well as flag-bearers waving
flags of the crests of the participating teams. Bayern Munich's fans, meanwhile, created a tifo of the name of their
team with thousands of coloured cards.[63]

Team selection
Manchester United left England two days before the final,
first flying from Manchester Ringway Airport to Heathrow,[64] where they boarded a Concorde aircraft for
the flight to Barcelona.[65] They stayed in the Meliá Gran hotel in the town of Sitges, about 20 mi (32 km)
down the coast from Barcelona.[66] Captain Roy Keane and midfielder Paul Scholes both missed out on
the final due to suspension; manager Alex Ferguson had originally considered selecting Ryan Giggs to
join Nicky Butt in central midfield, but ultimately picked David Beckham as a player who could help the
team control possession in the middle of the pitch,[57] with Giggs on the right wing and Jesper Blomqvist
starting on the left.[67] Keane had suffered an ankle injury in the FA Cup final that would keep him out
until the start of the following season,[68] but his suspension rendered the injury irrelevant to his
selection.[69] Norwegian defender Henning Berg also missed out through injury, meaning that his
compatriot Ronny Johnsen – who had been an early contender to play alongside Butt in midfield[70] – Midfielders Paul Scholes (left) and Roy
played in central defence alongside Jaap Stam, who overcame an Achilles injury.[71] With Keane out, Keane were both suspended for the final.
goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel – who in November 1998 had announced his intention to leave Manchester
United at the end of the season[72] – was named as captain for his final Manchester United
appearance;[73] this meant that both sides were captained by their goalkeepers, as Oliver Kahn wore the armband for Bayern.[74] As Manchester United's top
two goalscorers throughout the season, Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke started up front, leaving Teddy Sheringham – who had played a part in both goals in the
FA Cup Final a few days earlier – on the bench. Also on the bench were fellow striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær, back-up goalkeeper Raimond van der Gouw,
defenders David May, Phil Neville and Wes Brown, and midfielder Jonathan Greening.
Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld announced his team's line-up for the final two full days ahead of the match.[75] Injuries also impacted on his selections, with
French left-back Bixente Lizarazu and Brazilian forward Élber having suffered season-ending knee injuries.[76][77] Élber's absence resulted in Bayern playing a
three-man attack of Mario Basler, Carsten Jancker and Alexander Zickler, while Lizarazu was replaced on the left flank by Michael Tarnat playing in a wing-
back role opposite Markus Babbel on the right.[78] Babbel was originally intended to play a man-marking role on Ryan Giggs, with his defensive abilities
earning him selection ahead of the more attack-minded Thomas Strunz;[75] however, this was nullified by Giggs' selection on the right wing, where he would
play against Tarnat. The Bayern defence was anchored around sweeper Lothar Matthäus, who played behind Thomas Linke and Ghana international Samuel
Kuffour – the only non-German in the Bayern side (by comparison, Manchester United had four Englishmen in their team); Linke and Kuffour's partnership
at centre-back meant club captain Thomas Helmer had to settle for a place on the bench.[74] Stefan Effenberg and Jens Jeremies played in central midfield for
Bayern, with Jeremies man-marking David Beckham.[79]
Summary
First half
Six minutes into the match, Ronny Johnsen fouled Bayern striker Carsten Jancker just outside the area, and Mario
Basler placed a low free kick around the United wall to score the first goal. Contrary to popular belief,[80][81] the
free kick was not a deflection, but rather swerved into the far bottom corner of Peter Schmeichel's goal.[82][83]
Despite the bad start, United began to dominate possession but failed to create any clear cut chances despite David
Beckham's tireless running. They seemed to be badly missing influential midfielders Paul Scholes and Roy Keane.
The Bayern defence remained strong and well organised, as Andy Cole found out when his close-range effort was
quickly closed down by three defenders. As Bayern began to look increasingly more dangerous on the counter-
attack than their opponents did in possession, Jancker repeatedly tested the United back four with a number of
clever runs, some of which were flagged offside. The teams line up ahead of kick-off.
Cole once again found himself with a chance in the Bayern box, but keeper Oliver Kahn hurried out of his goal to
punch the ball to safety. At the other end, Basler came close with another free kick before Alexander Zickler sent a shot just wide from the edge of the box. As
half time approached, United winger Ryan Giggs, playing out of position on the right, sent a weak header towards Kahn from a Cole cross, but that was as
close as they were to come to a goal in the first half.
Second half
The German team started the second half in a more positive mood with Jancker forcing a save from Schmeichel in the first minute of the restart. Basler was
proving to be Bayern's most dangerous player, first firing a 30-yard shot towards goal and then setting up a header for Markus Babbel, who missed the ball
entirely. United put together an attack when, after a healthy period of possession, Giggs sent in a cross towards Jesper Blomqvist who could only knock the
ball over the bar after a desperate stretch. Another chance for Basler prompted Alex Ferguson to bring on striker Teddy Sheringham. Ottmar Hitzfeld
responded with a substitution of his own, bringing on Mehmet Scholl, who immediately set up Stefan Effenberg for a long-range shot which went narrowly
wide. Schmeichel kept his side in the game when tipping another Effenberg shot over the bar after 75 minutes.[84] Scholl then almost scored from a delicate
20-yard chip after a run from Basler, but the ball bounced back off the post and into the arms of a relieved Schmeichel. With the game seemingly drifting away
from the English side, Ferguson introduced striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær with 10 minutes remaining.[84] The substitute immediately forced Kahn into a diving
save with a header; it was the closest United had come to scoring all game. A minute later, Bayern missed a chance to secure the trophy when an overhead kick
from Jancker came off the crossbar. As the game crept into the last five minutes, United's two substitutes forced Kahn into more saves, firstly through a
Sheringham volley and then from another Solskjær header.[85]
Injury time
United won a corner just as the fourth official indicated three minutes of injury time, and with so little time left for an equaliser, Peter Schmeichel ventured up
to Bayern's penalty area. Beckham flighted the corner in just over Schmeichel's head, Dwight Yorke put the ball back towards the crowded area, and after
Thorsten Fink failed to clear sufficiently, the ball arrived at the feet of Ryan Giggs on the edge of the area. His right-footed snap-shot was weak and poorly
struck, but it went straight to Sheringham, who swiped at the shot with his right foot, and nestled the ball in the bottom corner of the net. The goal was timed
at 90+0:36'. It looked as if, having been behind for most of the match, United had forced extra time.[84]
Less than 30 seconds after the subsequent kick-off, United forced another corner, but Schmeichel stayed in his penalty area this time under instruction from
Ferguson. Beckham again swung the corner in, finding the head of Sheringham, who nodded the ball down across the face of goal. Solskjær reacted fastest,
shot out a foot and poked the ball into the roof of the Bayern goal for United to take the lead. The goal was timed at 90+2:17'. Solskjær celebrated by sliding on
his knees, mimicking Basler's earlier celebration, before quickly being mobbed by the United players, substitutes and coaching staff.[86] Schmeichel, in his own
penalty area, cartwheeled with glee.[87]
The game restarted, but many Bayern players were overwhelmed with despair, virtually unable to continue and needed the assistance of referee Pierluigi
Collina to drag themselves off the ground.[88] They were stunned to have lost a game they had thought won just minutes before (several celebratory flares had
already been ignited by the Munich fans moments before United equalised, and Bayern Munich ribbons had already been secured to the trophy itself in
preparation for the presentation ceremony).[89] United held onto their lead to record their second European Cup title. Samuel Kuffour broke down in tears
after the game, beating the floor in despair, and even the giant Carsten Jancker had collapsed in anguish.[90] Matthäus had captained Bayern in the 1987
European Cup Final and lost in similar circumstances to two late Porto goals. He had been substituted with 10 minutes remaining, with victory seemingly
assured, and the European Cup was the only major trophy he had failed to win during his career.[82]

Post-match
The game's ending was so unexpected that UEFA President Lennart Johansson had left his seat in the stands
before Sheringham's equaliser to make his way down to the pitch to present the European Cup trophy, already
decorated with Bayern ribbons.[92] When emerging from the tunnel at the final whistle, he was stunned. "I can't
believe it", he later said, "The winners are crying and the losers are dancing."[93] When the two teams went to
collect their medals, Matthäus received his runners-up medal but removed it from his neck almost immediately.[94]
He never won the competition, having moved to play in the United States for the MetroStars Major League Soccer
team before Bayern next won the European Cup in 2001.[95] Matthäus later commented that "it was not the best
team that won but the luckiest".[96] As captain of Manchester United, Peter Schmeichel should have received his
Manchester United's players
medal last, but instead he went up first before having to return to the back of the queue with Alex Ferguson; the
celebrate after the game.
pair then lifted the trophy together, surrounded by the rest of Manchester United's players, including David May,
who memorably climbed the presentation podium to a position of prominence in the celebration photographs.[97]
Staying true to his word from earlier in the season, the match was Schmeichel's last in a Manchester United shirt, and a month later he signed for Lisbon club
Sporting Clube de Portugal.[98] He spent two seasons in Portugal before returning to England for spells with Aston Villa and Manchester City.[99][100] It was
also Jesper Blomqvist's last competitive appearance for the club. After playing in all four matches of the club's pre-season tour of Australia and China in July
1999, he suffered a succession of knee injuries that ruled him out of competitive action for the next two seasons. He made two more appearances for the first
team during the 2000–01 pre-season campaign, as well as three matches for the reserves in September and October 2001, before a free transfer to Everton in
November that year.[101] For Bayern Munich, substitutes Thomas Helmer and Ali Daei left the club in the summer of 1999, with Helmer moving to England to
play for Sunderland and Daei remaining in Germany with Hertha BSC.[102][103]
Bayern president Franz Beckenbauer recognised that it was a loss of concentration in the last few minutes that led to his side's defeat: "That was the cruellest
defeat possible because victory was so close. We already had victory in the bag and there were only a few seconds to go. But those few seconds were enough for
Manchester to get back into the game. We were playing well in the last 20 minutes and should have been able to hold on to victory. But in the end, Manchester
deservedly won."[104] Manager Ottmar Hitzfeld seemed more stunned by the result in his reaction: "I feel so sorry for my team because they were so close to
winning this match but they have lost. It's really difficult to digest and this is inconceivable for us but then this is what football is all about. Normally when the
opposition equalise you are expecting extra-time and it was a shock to our team when they scored the winner two minutes later. It could take days or even
weeks to recover from this but I must say that Manchester are great champions."[104]
In winning the trophy, Manchester United became the first English team to be crowned European champions since
the Heysel Stadium disaster ban in 1985, which had resulted in English clubs being excluded from UEFA
competitions for five years, and also the first team to achieve a unique treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and
European Cup in the same season. It was the first time the Treble had been won since PSV Eindhoven in 1988; it
would not be won again until Barcelona beat Manchester United in the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final 10
years later.[105] After becoming the first manager to achieve this honour, Alex Ferguson was made a Knight
Bachelor on 12 June 1999 in recognition of his services to football,[106] as well as a bonus from the club reported to
be in the region of £350,000 (the players received bonuses of £150,000 each).[107] In a post-match interview with
ITV's Gary Newbon, Ferguson provided a succinct summary of the game: "Football, eh? Bloody hell".[108] After the
A winner's medal from the 1999
treble was secured, much debate arose among English football fans as to whether the 1999 Manchester United
Champions League final on display
team was the greatest club side ever, alongside past European Cup-winning teams.[109] It was such a significant in the Manchester United Museum
achievement for an English football club that Prime Minister Tony Blair took the time to watch part of the match
and congratulate Manchester United from the opening of the new National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff.[18]
Manchester United became the first team to win the European Cup or Champions League without being the champions of Europe or champions of their
country the preceding season.[19] They had finished second in the 1997–98 season to Arsenal,[110] but had qualified through UEFA's expanded format, which
had been introduced a season earlier.[111] Had Bayern won the cup, they would have become the first team to achieve this feat, having also finished second in
the Bundesliga to Kaiserslautern the season before.[112] While Manchester United finished the season as Treble champions, Bayern ultimately lost the DFB-
Pokal final to Werder Bremen, which meant they finished the season with the Bundesliga title as their only silverware.[22]
Manchester United received £2 million in prize money from UEFA for winning the competition, on top of the £10 million they had already won just for
reaching the final; by comparison, Bayern Munich received £1.6 million for finishing as runners-up.[113] Manchester United also received another financial
boost in the form of an increase in the share price of their parent company on the London Stock Exchange; following the match, the price rose from 187 pence
per share to 190 pence; however, this was still around 50p less than the shares were trading for earlier in the season during the attempted buyout of the club
by BSkyB.[114]
Manchester United planned an open-top bus tour of the city of Manchester the day after the game, at which they
would parade their three trophies for an expected 700,000 people lining the streets between Sale and the city
centre. The parade culminated with a reception at the Manchester Arena, for which 17,500 tickets were made
available at £3 each, with proceeds going to Alex Ferguson's testimonial fund.[115] Greater Manchester Police later
estimated that the actual number of people who attended the parade was around 500,000.[116]
Broadcasting
In the United Kingdom, the final was broadcast by ITV Sport with commentary provided by Clive Tyldesley and Manchester United celebrated the
Ron Atkinson.[117] The broadcast attracted an average of 15.5 million viewers, with a peak audience of 18.8 million Treble with an open-top bus down
at 21:30, just as Manchester United scored their two goals.[118] The climax of the game was voted as the fourth- Deansgate in Manchester.
greatest sporting moment ever by Channel 4 viewers in a 2002 poll.[119] In Germany, the match was shown on RTL
Television,[120] and was seen by an average of 13.59 million people over the course of the broadcast.[121] In Spain,
the match was shown on TVE.[122]
