Chapter 803 The grudges of wealthy families
In Manchester, there is the Munich Clock, a clock that will never let time pass. In Munich, there is the Manchester Square, a timeless landmark that will never change.
被曼彻斯特人定格的1958年2月6日15:04和被慕尼黑人定格的老慕尼黑机场旧址一起标记着慕尼黑空难——这起体育史上的重大悲剧，也把红魔曼联和拜仁慕尼黑的记忆紧紧联系在一起。
The 23 lives taken away by the plane crash included 8 Manchester United players. In the schedules of the two century-old British and German giants, no matter whether 40, 50 or 60 years have passed, no one will ever forget that on this day every year at the place where the tragedy occurred, they would sing "Flowers of Manchester" together, they would remember the old friends together, find strength in grief together, and then continue the journey of life together.
The deepest connection between Manchester United and Bayern Munich did not happen on the field, but originated from sadness.
For a long time, they did not have the opportunity to meet on the European stage. It was not until the 1998-1999 season that the two strongest teams in their respective leagues finally had the opportunity to meet in the Champions League group stage. At that time, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Barcelona formed the most terrifying death group that season.
………………
The first confrontation between Manchester United and Bayern Munich in history was extremely dramatic. Bayern Munich played at home in this game. All 22 players from both sides participated in the game, and each of them became a famous star in the future.
For Manchester United, that night at Camp Nou is an eternal pride; for Bayern Munich it is the peak of pain, but also the starting point of a new life.

There were no major changes in the lineups of both sides, but Bayern Munich's substitute striker Sergio became the decider of the first leg between the two sides. He scored the only goal of the game in the 86th minute and Bayern Munich took a victory away from Old Trafford.
As a survivor of the Munich air crash, Sir Charlton witnessed this great game in the stands.
But the match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich where they must decide the winner is coming soon.
1999年5月26日，这一天也是马特巴斯比爵士诞辰90周年纪念日。如果说31年前巴斯比爵士可以兑现诺言用欧冠冠军去告慰他的男孩们，那么今时今日红魔又用第二座欧冠奖杯告慰了历史和先人。
The reversal initiated by the Red Devils took place within three minutes of injury time, and these exciting scenes have been relived countless times in history.
Giggs assisted Keane's goal, which was wonderful, but Bayern Munich took advantage of a quick counterattack and Salihamidzic equalized the score.
Exactly 40 years after the Munich air crash, the two English and German giants stood on the field as opponents for the first time. They chose to record the beginning of this history in a moment of silence.
………………
However, the goal was finally counted in Elber's account, and the first encounter between the two sides ended in a 2:2 draw. This score was also a true reflection of the strength of both sides at the time. Whether from the data or the situation on the field, Bayern Munich and Manchester United were evenly matched in all aspects at the time.
Just two years later, in the 2000-2001 season, Bayern Munich and Manchester United met again in the Champions League, and the winner would advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
After eliminating Juventus and Dynamo Kyiv respectively, the two English and German giants faced off for the third time in the same season and they successfully met in the Champions League final.
However, the situation was not favorable for Manchester United at that time, because captain Keane and general Scholes were suspended for accumulated yellow cards and could not play in the final. But everything that happened later made people feel that the Red Devils were really blessed. In this final, Bayern Munich took the lead in the sixth minute. But in the subsequent games, Ferguson's adventure was successful, and two substitutes became the creators of miracles.
………………
Elber scored the first goal for Bayern Munich in the 11th minute, but strangely, during the entire attack process before the goal, three passes were made and Bayern Munich players were offside, but the referee did not make any penalty. The goal was finally deemed a valid goal, which was a major misjudgment.
The second leg of the group stage match between the two sides at Old Trafford also ended in a draw, although Manchester United had more control over the tempo of the game.
Both games ended in a draw, which seems to indicate that their strength was indeed evenly matched at the time. Even the final group rankings also illustrate this point. Bayern Munich eventually ranked first in the group with one point higher than Manchester United, the Red Devils ranked second in the group, and Barcelona was eliminated in the cruel group stage competition.
This game attracted special attention at the time, but no one thought that the first goal in the history of the confrontation between the two sides should not exist at all.
The oath that has been remembered by every Red Devils player in the past and present has finally been sublimated into a miracle with the accumulation of time.
Of course, the drama of this game did not end there. The Red Devils Manchester United scored two goals in a row to overtake the score to 2:1. But just when Manchester United was ready to take all three points away from home, in the 89th minute of the game, the usually stable goalkeeper Schmeichel made a mistake in his attack, and Shelingham accidentally headed the ball into his own goal when competing with Elber for the header.
After winning the Champions League trophy, the Red Devils became the first team in Premier League history to win three titles. Manchester was plunged into a sea of red, and the occasion was unprecedented.
………………
It was after this magical game that Ferguson famously exclaimed: "Damn football!"
Two weeks later, Bayern Munich returned to their home ground and achieved a double kill against Manchester United with another victory. However, the then Bayern Munich coach Hitzfeld was unwilling to call these two victories as revenge against Manchester United like the media did. He called every game of Bayern Munich leading to the Champions League final a challenge.
It was precisely because of the pain of the final two years ago that defeating Manchester United was not enough to make up for the regrets of Bayern Munich until they really stood in the Champions League final again.
Two years ago, Kahn was unable to block Shelingham and Solskjaer's goals in stoppage time, but two years later, the German Lion single-handedly escorted Bayern Munich to the trophy in the penalty shootout.
Finally, this generation of Bayern Munich players did not leave the responsibility of making up for the regret to future generations. They personally took back the championship that slipped from their hands. Such joy is beyond words.
