Exactly 20 years to the day after the nightmare of Barcelona, FC Bayern Legends have also lost out in their reunion with Manchester United. In Old Trafford the Munich team around Lothar Matthäus, Stefan Effenberg, Sammy Kuffour and Carsten Jancker, who had been part of the starting eleven at the bitter defeat in the Champions League final in 1999, lost 0:5 (0:2).
In front of 58.000 spectators Bayern-Schreck scored Ole Gunnar Solskjaer early to 1:0 (4.). Today’s ManUnited team manager had scored the 2-1 winning goal for the English (90.+3) on 26 May 1999 after Teddy Sheringham (90.+1) equalised.
The other hits were Dwight Yorke (30.), Nicki Butt (79.), Louis Saha (85.) and David Beckham (90.).
For the Bavarians, Hans Jörg Butt, Martin Demichelis, Christian Nerlinger, Ze Roberto, Paulo Sergio, Roy Makaay and Giovane Elber, among others, played for the team.
The proceeds of the match were donated by both teams to the Manchester United Foundation for charity.
