Sir Bobby Charlton’s 70th minute goal won the leg for Man United but sadly did not win the tie.

A massive 2nd leg in the Champions League for Man United.
Being 3-2 up going into the game, the premier league leaders at the time only needed a draw to go through to the final.
Milan had other ideas.
Two first half goals from Kaka and Clarence Seedorf gave the Italian club the lead on aggregate and a late goal from substitute Gilardino sealed the deal.
The comeback was complete.
A bitter ending for the Manchester club and manager Sir Alex Ferguson, although, they did win the league later that year so more like bittersweet.
