April 24, 1968, Old Trafford. Manchester United 1-0 Real Madrid.

This was the third meeting between the two sides—the first in over 10 years & the semifinal of the European Cup.

4. Manchester United 2-3 Real Madrid


2 of 5

April 19, 2000, Old Trafford. Manchester United 2-3 Real Madrid (aggregate 2-3).

Manchester United would have been reasonably happy with a 0-0 draw in Spain on April 4, 2000, but Real Madrid"s superb display in England sent the Red Devils crashing out of the Champions League.

United were unbeaten at home in 16 months, but an early Roy Keane own goal và two wonderful quick-fire second-half strikes from Raul Gonzalez left them with a mountain to lớn climb.

David Beckham pulled one goal back, a brilliant individual effort, and Paul Scholes scored a late penalty, adding little other than a bit of credibility to lớn the result.

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted (via đài truyền hình bbc Sport), "The best team won on the night," as Los Blancos knocked out the holders en route to lớn winning the competition.

The first meeting between the two teams was on April 11, 1957 in the semifinal of the second-ever European Cup.

Following a 3-1 defeat at the Bernabeu, speculation about David Beckham"s future & rumors of a boot to his face from Sir Alex Ferguson, this fixture was hotly anticipated.
