Sorry to sound mawkish and maudlin, but this was the game that was played the night before my Dad’s funeral with *this* commentary. Obviously watched it at home, but my Dad was a lifelong UNITED supporter who bought me up the same way. The odd moment was when my brother in law (who has no interest in football) watched us tear Roma to shreds and just said…”This isn’t Normal, is it?” Always had this little superstition that it was for my Dad. A bittersweet memory, but thank you for it.
I remember not rating Carrick when we signed him from Spurs, but this was the game that made me realize how good he actually is. Underrated legend of the club..
Ahhh, the good old days of a 4-4-2 and shooting from outside the box 💪 The standard in the ‘top flight’ leagues has dropped massively in the last 10 years. These days, not losing is more important than winning 😕
Then this great team was beaten by The Great AC Milan. After that, MU became the greatest but very short lived because nobody can reject Madrid. Sad end for United. They could be ended bigger than this if only they didnt sell CR7.
When i watch the these lads playing with pride and passion,its breaks my heart knowing the shower of shit that turning out for my beloved MUFC now is a million miles from ever playing football like these lads did wekk in week out 😢
Not shown here, but Alan Smith was the game changer. I have never seen a player defend from the front like that. He was like an animal! Roma didn't know what to do and fell apart.
I was there. There was just an atmosphere that night that I have not really felt at Old Trafford since. We knew we were winning and the noise from about 15 minutes before kick off was amazing. Great night
First time Ive seen this in 17 years. I remember watching this at the pub doing cartwheels every 6 minutes! You'll never beat those Champions league nights on itv, they were the best ❤
I was in the Stretford End that night. Very lucky really, never been a season ticket holder and always relied on mates spare tickets. Saw a lot more European football than Premier League. Can’t remember who I got the ticket off that night, but glad that I did.
The best goal of the whole game was Roma's. If that was the winning goal in a UCL final, it would be considered one of greatest ever scored. On a 7 -1 thrashing, it's completely forgotten.
I thought Roma could step it up after a pretty good showing at the first leg. However Manchester United really stepped up and showed why they were real title contenders with such a dominant mesmerising display
Sir alex ferguson's investment in british players such as Rooney, rio ferdinand and carick, plus faith in british academy talent such as Fletcher and welbeck is a credit to him. Especially at a time when many teams were bringing mediocre foreign talent and stifling the england team.
Great game but jesus, the editing on video is making me nauseous. flicking from camera angle to camera angle several times in the same move. Just let it flow...
Prior to the match, Fergie mentioned all the famous players in Roma at that time, except Totti. Totti was furious and said he would make Fergie to remember his name. I guess the rest is history😂
not just Giggs, literally everyone in this video on every position was superior to the current United squad. Cristiano, Rooney, Carrick, Rio, the list goes on and on
My happiest memory watching a live United game about from the tv it was magical, I was only 14 I remember the Roma police beating up United fans from the first leg for no reason and it seems like this was revenge. Wonder why we lost to AC Milan in the next leg we could have won the UCL
Hmm, i would say 90's era team hade more entertaining matches if you judge by "best". But this surely was super nice one aswell for the 20's era team ! :)
This is how football is supposed to be. They go up 1-0 with away goals rule in play, kept on attacking until the game is truly out of reach. By the 7th, Evra the left back, is playing as the right wing.
What a game. Too bad there wasn't a huddle half way through the second half where Alex F would say "Alright mates, gather around. Who hasn't scored a goal yet?" 😀😄
Я из России. У нас очень много болельщика Манчестер Юнайтед . Я смотрел эту игру у себя в городе ( Смоленск ) вместе с друзьями в одном из спортивных баров. Были и болельщики Ромы в этом баре. Это был фантастический вечер и ночь! Я кричал и пел ! Столько счастья было у всех ! Пиво было выпито очень много - море. И в конце болельщики Ромы уже жали нам руки и улыбались и вместе мы пили пиво. Утром у меня голоса почти не было.
Wow, Alan Smith. I wonder what he would have said if you told him as a 24 old year that he would go on to score 3 goals in the next 10 years and then retire. Hes a great example of life not going as planned. I wonder what his thoughts are on it.

Thank you very much for the review. Great legendary memories there
An attempt every 2-3 mins, now this is the united i learned to love.
🎉💯
It's a United I still love, forever.
That why we're all call him Sir Alex Ferguson🤯👏
He was a true sir
So much joy watching Manchester United those days
It was a magic team
I remember not rating Carrick when we signed him from Spurs, but this was the game that made me realize how good he actually is. Underrated legend of the club..
He was never rated, even by Fergie himself 🤣
I done exactly the same
Fucking underrated and too good
Ahhh, the good old days of a 4-4-2 and shooting from outside the box 💪 The standard in the ‘top flight’ leagues has dropped massively in the last 10 years. These days, not losing is more important than winning 😕
🤣🤣🤣
Sure. Comeback is long gone thing
De Rossi with one of the most underappreciated goals of all time
Yes, this goals was special. The fact that the goal didn't help Roma get any point, made it difficult to popularize it
I'm a man u fan de rossi is top class!
Word
Word bro
De Rossi & Totti the 2 most underrated players ever. Both could have won much more than they did but were too loyal too Roma. Absolute legends ❤
I was at Old Trafford for this game wat a game it was and the atmosphere was superb
What a beautiful time to be alive!
I wasn’t
So superb Ferguson has to get you to make noise? Manchester United crowds like most yeams crowds are terrible! Only shout when you y score
Then this great team was beaten by The Great AC Milan. After that, MU became the greatest but very short lived because nobody can reject Madrid. Sad end for United. They could be ended bigger than this if only they didnt sell CR7.
Carrick such an underappreciated player
True, most of ther time, Sir Alex Ferguson played him only on a rainy day
@@magicfc1000Same bro
@@magicfc1000Fergie played Carrick on most days,whether they be hot,snowing, windy or raining
Watched this game live in a pub in Bremen. Quite a few Roma fans in as well. At the end of the game they applauded along with the rest of us
That's the love of football
I was at this game. The headache from the noise after the 5th goal was pretty bad. What a night!
@MrGreenEstateAgents
Was it the most entertaining game under sir Alex, or my title wasn't worth it 😅
ห่างกันมากๆกับทีมปัจจุบัน😅😅
When i watch the these lads playing with pride and passion,its breaks my heart knowing the shower of shit that turning out for my beloved MUFC now is a million miles from ever playing football like these lads did wekk in week out 😢
The hope is that one day, the team will be back
Giggs deliverys into the box where unstoppable 🔥
2006-07 Ronaldo is underrated but he was a rising devil that year.
I agree. He did good job in this campaign
He was good but not underrated
3 or 4 world class players and you can play anyone you want in other positions. Sir Alex was a genius.
You mean Allan Smith was others 🤣🤣
Carrick was a fine player.
He did everything simple
Carrick was absolutely world class.
When we were Kings. We'll be back, GGMU
The restoration time is very near
we're still kings since some of our competitors have not won premier league and champions league since 2004
Not shown here, but Alan Smith was the game changer. I have never seen a player defend from the front like that. He was like an animal! Roma didn't know what to do and fell apart.
It's true, he was aggressive. Always putting opponents on toes
I was there. There was just an atmosphere that night that I have not really felt at Old Trafford since. We knew we were winning and the noise from about 15 minutes before kick off was amazing. Great night
That's awesome!
Great night, was there as well... sensational times.... was at the away leg as well
First time Ive seen this in 17 years. I remember watching this at the pub doing cartwheels every 6 minutes! You'll never beat those Champions league nights on itv, they were the best ❤
Welcome, great memories there
Cr7 🖤🐐
I was in the Stretford End that night. Very lucky really, never been a season ticket holder and always relied on mates spare tickets. Saw a lot more European football than Premier League. Can’t remember who I got the ticket off that night, but glad that I did.
Ooh, very good memories for sure
The amount of Giggs assists in this game is unreal
The best United game I've ever seen
That shirt is top 5 all time.
AIG, the most successful shirt of Manchester United
SHARP entered the chat
Those AIG years......what a great time....this must have been Spring 2007....Solskjaer last season.
True, he was playing as a legend and an elder
The way Ronaldo scored his second goal here. Rashford, martial and co are never found in such positions when united needs a goal.
Very true 😂
ALAN SMITH ❤👏💣
He did some guess works there which really worked
If only the current squad were this good
The team would obviously be domination in Europe
One of the best matches in history
Very true
Best Club in the World
I was at this game, best live game I've seen
Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end😢
Have you realised that nothing lasts forever
The first goal from Carrick was one of the most beautiful volley goal I've ever seen
Simple and straightforward
Apart from, it wasn't a volley.
The keeper looked like he let it in tbh
That was not a volley😂😂
That was not a volley, bro....
The best goal of the whole game was Roma's. If that was the winning goal in a UCL final, it would be considered one of greatest ever scored. On a 7 -1 thrashing, it's completely forgotten.
Yes, the look away goal by De Rossi was phenomenal
David Pleat was a great co-commentator.
You may think he watched the game before and wrote the script
I thought Roma could step it up after a pretty good showing at the first leg.
However Manchester United really stepped up and showed why they were real title contenders with such a dominant mesmerising display
I was there what a night
What a beautiful memories. This win was historical
Sir alex ferguson's investment in british players such as Rooney, rio ferdinand and carick, plus faith in british academy talent such as Fletcher and welbeck is a credit to him.
Especially at a time when many teams were bringing mediocre foreign talent and stifling the england team.
Great analysis
“ MAGICAL MANCHESTER UNITED “ i think we’re not gonna hear those words ever again 😏
It's been long now
Keep it up
Thank you
Ronaldo hunger for goal as a winger is top notch
Very true, his work rate was amazing
Rooney was a beast this period
He always carried United on his shoulders
Ronaldinho - No look pass
De Rossi - No look strike
No one talks about that goal but it was a beautiful one.
Carrick be scoring some bangers ng
Lucky bangers there by Carrick
Is there a full match?
Yes, it's not possible to post it on youtube
The 2 goal by carrick and 1 by derossi was he best 3 goal but the first 1 by carrick is a beauty
True, it left a legendary goalkeeper unaware
Some legendary players, but that kit is my favourite thing on the pitch.
Yes, the legendary AIG
Cristiano Ronaldo was a beast
Attacking Master class
Giggs motivating teammates with magic 4 assists
I was there!
Ooh, wow! That's nice
I wasn’t there but I’m watching that game again 😂🥰❤️🇦🇺
On this night I lost the fear of Italian teams that I'd akways harboured whenever we were drawn against them. Absolutely tore them to shreds.
Even though they missed two key players, I believe they couldn't have done much with them.
Then we lost to an Italian team in the semis
We played against a bunch of genius . Nobody could be compared to Kaka and Seedorf at that time
I was there. It was joyous.
Ooh, wow, what a memory
That utd was amazing
Great game but jesus, the editing on video is making me nauseous. flicking from camera angle to camera angle several times in the same move. Just let it flow...
I will redo it this weekend.
Thank you for the feedback
Miss those days..
We hope they come back
I was there in the Stretford End, the whole stand was bouncing
Ooh, wow! Nice memories there
How AS Roma begging Milan to take full revenge for them was crazy 😂😂😂😂. That shown how great Milan that time really are.
How i wish Man utd to use this formation of 4:4:2 again
Who are the final two?
I was actually at the Game , unbelievable score similar to England's victory over Germany in Munich 1-5
love Cr7 ❤️
Prior to the match, Fergie mentioned all the famous players in Roma at that time, except Totti. Totti was furious and said he would make Fergie to remember his name. I guess the rest is history😂
When Euro football was on normal TV!!
🤣🤣
nice
Very nice
If death leaves you alone. Time will never leave you .where is this players to day time make them old
They are all available and healthy except Liam Miller -RIP
Michael Carrick was a superb player.i cant say underated.just a talented player
The current United Squad seriously lacks the talent and caliber of players like Ryan Giggs.
I agree 💯
not just Giggs, literally everyone in this video on every position was superior to the current United squad. Cristiano, Rooney, Carrick, Rio, the list goes on and on
Giggs was not human.
Have you watched my latest upload, it's entirely about Giggs. 15 minutes of magic
Brilliant! So many assists in his career, and in Champions League
Francesco Totti said before the game that he did not like the way the English play football. Those words came back to haunt him.
He celebrated early 🤣
What year was this,I remember watching it with my dad on telly
It was March 2007.
Manchester were defeated by Milan on the following stage.
This feels like when you play efootball at beginner dificulty
🤣🤣🤣
My happiest memory watching a live United game about from the tv it was magical, I was only 14 I remember the Roma police beating up United fans from the first leg for no reason and it seems like this was revenge. Wonder why we lost to AC Milan in the next leg we could have won the UCL
Surely, coz the 3-2 win to 3-0 loss
Liverpool wasn't there strongly in the finals. It would have been back to back
2+1 how much it is cost
Pardon
Hmm, i would say 90's era team hade more entertaining matches if you judge by "best". But this surely was super nice one aswell for the 20's era team ! :)
Fair enough!
This is how football is supposed to be. They go up 1-0 with away goals rule in play, kept on attacking until the game is truly out of reach. By the 7th, Evra the left back, is playing as the right wing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I initially wanted Utd to sign Doni but after this match, I never wanted him again.... Lol 😅
He could continue the legacy of Barthez
superb
Sir Alex was a true mentor
What a game. Too bad there wasn't a huddle half way through the second half where Alex F would say "Alright mates, gather around. Who hasn't scored a goal yet?" 😀😄
Garnacho needs to watch Ronaldo more and work hard. There’s a potential in him. Doubt if ten hag can help him improve
Where did Ten Hag play, I haven't seen his record as a player
Best FC weed Lover!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why
Ya really football❤
I'm glad you enjoyed
Now, the season highlights for Manchester United fans are to watch ancient matches.
good old times
Very nice memories
I choose manunafter this match..when i was at 7
We are agemates then
Good times
❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic
When the Champions League was good.
Beautiful memories, we hope they come again in future
most entertaining was vs Arsenal in PL, don't remember all details but was in the 2000's, 7:1 or 8:2 or something like that
I got that on this channel as well. Check it out
Ashley young and Rooney madness on that day.
One of the best results he’s in Fergie’s era but United vs Arsenal 8-2 was the most entertaining game, beating Blackburn 7-1 was just as close!
Really?

You broke your voice box, great memories there
No mention of Mancini at all; what utd can achieve when they’re tails and confidence are up…. A far cry from today’s assembly 😊
The current team is coming up slowly, the bright is future
I'm very love MU club but they didn't respect sir Alex and the goat cr7😢😢😢
I forgot the exact words, but Fergie said in his autobiography that everything in this match went exactly as he had planned
Back when we were spoilt rotten supporting United 😂 i miss those days, still remember this game and Roma were not as bad as this made them look
Will those moments come back again
Wow, Alan Smith. I wonder what he would have said if you told him as a 24 old year that he would go on to score 3 goals in the next 10 years and then retire. Hes a great example of life not going as planned. I wonder what his thoughts are on it.
Semi v Arsenal was better, had everything. Best game I've ever been too. That includes 99 final
Beautiful memories
Giggs quietly destroyed them, left, right and centre!
With 4 assists
👍👏
Great
i remember this game and then playing the uefa champions league video game xD epic times
😂🙌
