The 1998–99 UEFA Champions League was the seventh season of the UEFA Champions League, Europe's premier club football tournament, since it was renamed from the "European Champion Clubs' Cup" or "European Cup". The competition was won by Manchester United, coming back from a goal down in the last two minutes of injury time to defeat Bayern Munich 2–1 in a the final, for the first title for Manchester United since 1968. Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored United's goals after Bayern had hit the post and the bar.
Manchester United also completed the Treble, and became the fourth side in Europe to do so, a feat they prevented Bayern Munich from achieving themselves by leaving Camp Nou victorious.
Also they won the trophy without losing a single game, even though they faced the so called group of Death with Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and two Italian teams in the knock-out stages. However, United became champions with just 5 wins in total, the fewest total wins ever recorded by a champion in the Champions League era.
It was the first time that a team that had not won their league the previous season won the Champions League and it was also the first time that Europe's top honour was won by a team who would not have qualified for the tournament under the old qualification rules (National League Champion or defending Cup Holder).
