Should bring the CWC back. There’s a difference between a good cup team and a good league team. It would return prestige to the FA Cup too.

The beginning of Man United's legacy. Simply superb.

[freespirit]

People forget this Barca team won the European Cup the following year. 19 year old Lee Sharpe was exceptional in this game, and Sparky's goal was incredible from an impossible angle.

Back when every bit of silverware was an honour to play for.

I watched this in a chip shop in Sunderland. The ladies that worked there said we could watch it as long as we bought food. Happy, fatter and skint by the end of the night.

1990 cup final. Start of my united addiction. Watched the final on TV but missed the replay! I was 8 years old. I remember the cup winners cup campaign, week in week out back in the day. I was glued to every game. Special times :)

To this day I still cannot believe the quality of that Hughes finish. No doubt one of the best finishes I've ever seen.

18 YEARS old when we won this. UNBELIEVABLE night les sealey rip

[xcxzzz]

Brian Moore....best commentator ever wasnt he! Makes a great game even greater

[AnnesleyPlaceDub]

I was 21 when I watched this. What a game.
Les Sealey and Brian Moore, may God be good to you both from an Irish Red.

I am a celtic fan who seen Fergie and his Aberdeen team.When he went to utd in 86 I was convinced he would turn utd round, he just had that thing about him. Was delighted to see utd win the fa cup in 90, gave him a lifeline, but this was the game, and cup, where i thought watch man utd go now, he has the fans behind him, he will do great things at utd. Not a utd fan but watched as his teams dominated. Fergie is a legend.

Little me was in tears when we one this. It was such a great match!

[cockneyred]

I was 20 when we won this, and I couldn't believe I had seen us win a European trophy...it was English clubs first season back in Europe ..Barca beat juve in their semi....it was actually my greatest night as a united supporter...went Rotterdam, but not to the match...so what followed for the next 20 years was literally the stuff of where sir Alex took us was to football remember as a 8 year old staying up not knowing the score and see us lose 6. 0 to Ipswich...so to see us conquer Europe and win constant league titles...is something I will think about for the rest of my life, and I saw it all .. from this night on

[davidedwinroy]

Thank u all who played for man u.
Made my day watching it live on tv.
Bryan, Sparky, McClair, Sharpy....what great lads u were...n still are!

[KryptonitetoallBS]

Two nights in Amsterdam first, train through to Rotterdam on the day, concert in the fan park headlined by James, brilliant match then back to Amsterdam and the whole city partied till the following morning. Thank you Manchester United for giving me some of the highlights of my life. GGMU. LUHG.

[AxlMorris]

The greatest cup final with the greatest kit EVER.

[Thetimbermanjim]

The day I fell in love with utd, I still get emotional watching Hughes that day. Unreal

[chrisevans]

Mud on the pitch, hard tackling and real passion, ...sadly things lacking in the modern game

[evp]

Considering we'd
lost the Rumbelows Cup Final to Sheffield Fucking Wednesday that season, this was the booster we needed. And this Barca team won the European Cup the next season they were no mugs either.. Sparky's finish is still up there iwith the best, absolute arrow from that angle.

[markcowley]

One of my favourite Utd memories. A time when even the Cup Winners Cup Final had an epic feel about it. I remember how half of Manchester seemed to decamp to Rotterdam for that game. Good times!
