Carsten Jancker won it for Man Utd .
Didnāt Jancher got the crossbar with an overhead kick that day? I think BM hit the post too.
Liverpool can not be considered a great team until they win two leagues in a row and win a champions league and league title in the same season. Thatās what great teams do.
He might have . He missed some awful sitters that night . He looked very Germanic too
Yeah the league is nearly the strongest itās ever been but he canāt take off the Man Utd tinted glasses and look at it from a neutral point of view. Atletico are a great cup team to be fair. Only CR7 teams have beaten them in knockout Champions League football under Simeone.

Chelsea are a shambles and Man City have dropped off 25 points.
Nah great teams are domestic champions who win the European Cup and successfully defend their league.
One Premier League team are still in the CL
Chelsea are about to sign Werner and Ziyech. Liverpool were finishing top 4 with 60 points in 2004, now you have a plethora of progressive clubs. As mentioned Spurs were in a Champions League final yet wonāt even finish top 6 this year such is the strength of the league. Wolves could potentially win the Europa League. Leicester would no doubt make knockout stages of Champions League like 2017.
There were 4 in the quarter-finals last season and they provided all 4 European finalists also. When did any league other than La Liga ever provide all 4 European finalists before?
It was a genuine question and got some good genuine answers. Itās now descending into arguing about relative strength of leagues and eras. Utterly fucking pointless

Thatās why the thread was started ffs ā A mickey measuring contest - A shame the OP was only 4/5 at the time.
Itās very important to downplay the strength of the PL to minimise Liverpoolās achievement.

Iāve worked out an equation that solves it.
United good = strong premier league
United shit = weak premier league
Work from there

Premier League was far stronger in 2011/12 when the reigning champions were knocked out in the group by Basleš

Bruidy is kind of a Sacha baron Cohen caricature of the strident opinionated man united fan
Irwin played left back, right back, took corners, took free kicks, scored goals, and gave assists. He was the complete package.

Good going for a full-back to be still a regular in a Champions League winning team at 33 or 34.
Thatās not the forum view.
