And Solskjaer has won it...

Before that night in Barcelona, the clubs were drawn with each other in the 1998-99 Champions League Group of Death, which included Barcelona and Brondby. Back then, only the group winners were guaranteed to qualify.

Wayne Rooney gave United the lead inside the first minute against a vulnerable Bayern side, but Sir Alex Ferguson's pragmatic tactics - and a Gary Neville nightmare - backfired. Neville's concession of a free-kick enabled Franck Ribéry to equalise, via a deflection, and after Nemanja Vidić rattled the crossbar Ivica Olić pounced on the dithering Patrice Evra to win the game late on.

United promised a European night to rank with their demolitions of Porto and Roma in 1997 and 2007 when they raced into a 2-0 lead inside seven minutes. Nani, enjoying one of his finest hours in a red shirt, made it 3-0 in the 41st minute but Michael Carrick, about to endure one of his worst nights in a red shirt, feebly allowed Olić to pull one back. After the pause, Rafael da Silva was sent off, Bayern won a corner, Carrick was caught ball-watching and Arjen Robben volleyed into the corner of the net to send Bayern through on away goals.

Billed as the biggest mis-match between the sides, a blunt Bayern side struggled against an organised United rearguard and were in danger of a surprise defeat when Nemanja Vidić's arched header gave United the advantage.
