Manchester United Champions League Tickets

Manchester United are one of the biggest football clubs in the world and their performances in the European Cup/Champions League will certainly have been a reason as to why they have been able to build the success that they have over the years. The Red Devils have been incredibly successful when playing in the tournament and have been able to produce some truly iconic moments. Hence, there is no surprise that their 74,879 capacity Old Trafford venue becomes a raucous place when they are involved in the competition.

A club the size of Manchester United have been able to call upon a number of superstars throughout the years in the Champions League. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, many Manchester United players made their mark on the tournament. Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistlerooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are just some of the Man United players who created Champions League moments that will live long in the memory.

The Red Devils have been one of the most successful football clubs to have ever played in Europe’s elite club competition, having won the Champions League on three occasions in their storied history. Those aforementioned wins came in 1967/68, 1998/99 and 2007/08 with victories against Benfica, Bayern Munich and Chelsea respectively.

The English outfit are no strangers to the tournament’s finale, though, as they have managed to appear in no fewer than five spectacles. Their defeats in the 2008/09 and 2010/11 editions were both to FC Barcelona.

Manchester United have had a number of iconic moments that fans can recall when playing in the tournament, with the 1998/99 final in Barcelona perhaps the most memorable for football fans all around the world.

The final between the Red Devils and Bayern Munich appeared to be going the way of the Germans, however two goals in stoppage time from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turned the match on its head and gave the club their first Champions League trophy for 31 years.

Other memorable moments include Rooney’s debut for the club where he recorded a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in the 2004/05 tournament, whilst the 2007/08 final against Chelsea in Moscow will always be remembered for the dramatic penalty shoot-out win in which Edwin van der Sar became a hero for the club.

However, there have been plenty of moments that Manchester United fans will not want to remember. Sometimes there are unstoppable performances, such as Kaka’s display against them for AC Milan in the 2006/07 Champions League semi-final in which he almost single-handedly destroyed them.
