That victory by 2-1 opened the faucet and since then more trophies have been obtained many.
" It was a great passage to the front, is no doubt of that. The tactical exposition of Barcelona in the end put the very difficult things to us in the first part. They played with two ends and without front center, and filled the center of the field with more players. Once we organized ourselves in the rest, we were better. It was one night wonderful for us ", said Ferguson to the official magazine of the club Inside United.
The 44,000 spectators of Of Kuip saw like the men directed by Johann Cruyff, between whom they were Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman and a great number of international Spaniards, could not hold the English pressure. The United went ahead in the 68 ' by means of Mark Hughes, who played before his ex- equipment and finished off a lack hurled by Steve Bruce.
Seven minutes later, the own Hughes did the second when beating to Carlos Busquets (father of Sergio). For want of ten minutes for the end, Koeman reduced distances with a lack launching. In spite of the expulsion of Nando, Barcelona continued tightening and had many occasions to obtain the tie. " They were the ten worse minutes of my life ", recognized Ferguson. But the United took the title and changed its luck.
Everything what had gained the United in the 20 years previous to that end of Holland was four FA Cups, including the one of the previous season. Since then, it has conquered other four, in addition to 13 titles of league, Supercopa of the two UEFA 1991 and the UEFA Champions League.

Ryan Giggs is been all these years in the equipment of Sir Alex Ferguson. If the United is able to win, will be people who remember the first time that both sets saw the faces in a continental end. But, how it would be now the European panorama if Clayton Blackmore had not removed that right ball in the line of goal 20 years ago?

Ronaldo believes UEFA protects Barca

Cristiano Ronaldo agrees with banned coach Jose Mourinho that Barcelona is given preferential treatment by UEFA after Real Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League with Tuesday's 1-1 draw.

Madrid missed out on a place in the final after losing the two-legged series 3-1 overall, although questionable referee decisions against Madrid in both legs took their toll.
Belgian referee Frank De Bleeckere waived away Gonzalo Higuain's goal before Pedro Rodriguez notched Barcelona's opener after judging Ronaldo fouled Javier Mascherano despite being pushed into the Argentine.
''Barcelona is very well protected - we knew something would happen,'' Ronaldo said. ''(Higuain's) goal was legal. Pique pushed me and I fell on top of Mascherano, who never went to the ground in England, but here he's learned that trade like the rest of them.''

Mourinho was banned for criticizing UEFA after the first leg when Pepe was red carded in the 61st minute. Barcelona scored both goals after that and Madrid accused its rival of feigning injuries to draw bookings.
The hostile atmosphere leading into the game even led UEFA to send head of referees Pierluigi Collina to the match at the Camp Nou. UEFA is studying six reports against the two clubs.
Madrid's players were all visibly upset after the game and captain Iker Casillas and midfielder Xabi Alonso were among those venting against De Bleeckere.
''That would have been the first step in the comeback,'' Alonso said. ''We're upset, hurt to not go through because of so many wrong decisions.''
Barcelona will now play in the May 28 final at Wembley, with Manchester United leading Schalke 2-0 in the other semifinal.
''We knew if we scored a goal they would do everything possible so we wouldn't get through. This isn't good for football. If things don't improve we should just stay home and let Barcelona play by themselves,'' Ronaldo added.
''Next year they should just give the cup directly to Barcelona.''
