UEFA Champions League · Semi-final, second leg · 21 April 1999

The Captain Who Missed the Final

Juventus 2–3 Man Utd · Stadio delle Alpi, Turin

Two goals down in Turin, Keane dragged United to the final.

Juventus were 2-0 up inside 11 minutes and the tie looked gone. Keane answered with a header, then fouled Zidane and picked up the booking that would rule him out of the final. He kept running anyway, and Yorke and Cole finished the job.
