Despite dominating domestic football in the 90s, manager Alex Ferguson had yet to restore Manchester United’s European glory when in 1999 it arrived in unprecedented fashion. In just ten days, Ferguson’s team of local talent and international stars won three trophies, the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League; achieving the first “treble” in the history of English football. That fate hung in the balance until the final moments of the 1999 UEFA Champions League final, when Manchester United capped off their incredible season by scoring two goals in stoppage time. 25 years later, filmmaker Sampson Collins, having access to the team and new revelations and images from inside the locker room, explores the excitement, unprecedented determination and miraculous twists of fate that led to this remarkable feat.
Prime released a trailer earlier this week which features interviews with legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson and his assistant Steve McClaren, as well as former players such as David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Peter Schmeichel , Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham, Nicky. Butt, Andy Cole and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The triple season was also discussed as part of Netflix’s recent documentary series “Beckham.”
