With a stunning comeback led by two Manchester United substitutes, English
football returned to prominence on the world stage. United defeated Germany's Bayern Munich 2-1 on May 26 in Barcelona to win the Champions League -- the world's most prestigious club title. United came from behind to win with two goals in the final 90 seconds of injury
time by substitutes Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The victory completed an unprecedented sweep by an English club of the domestic league and cup, along with the European title, in the same season. United joined just three other clubs in accomplishing the three-win feat: Scotland's Celtic (1967), Holland's Ajax (1972) and PSV Eindhoven (1988).
