20 years ago today, the Manchester United Football Club completed an unprecedented Treble—a triple-trophy year, winning the English Premier League, the FA Cup, and the European UEFA Champions League, becoming the first and only English club to achieve the feat. After winning no titles the previous year, 1998-99 became the most successful season in the club’s 117 year history. During the campaign, ‘
Man United’ lost only five times—and had a run of 33 games unbeaten.
The team’s never-say-die attitude, along with
David Beckham’s bending kicks, were keys to their success—and a dramatic comeback in the Champions League final.
