#Euro liga finale 2014 crack

It was the first time since the Heysel Disaster that England had four representatives in the tournament but, with the away goals rule now in place, United bowed out following a stalemate in Russia and 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. And it was a similar story three years later, when the Reds were paired with Rotor Volgograd.

United had to wait until the 1992/93 season for another crack at the competition, but exited at the first round following a surprise defeat to Torpedo Moscow on penalties. The Reds eventually lost the shootout, but did go on to win the FA Cup. Next up were Videoton of Hungary and, after Frank Stapleton's goal had given us a first-leg lead, the same scoreline in the return fixture saw the game go to penalties. Following wins over Raba Vasas and PSV Eindhoven in the early rounds, the highlight was a rollercoaster third-round clash with Dundee, which Big Ron's men eventually won 5-4 over two legs. Two years later, though, under the guidance of Ron Atkinson, United reached the quarter-finals during a memorable campaign. The Reds would struggle in the competition вЂ“ which was renamed the UEFA Cup вЂ“ at the next three attempts, falling at the second-round stage to Juventus in 1976/77 and the first hurdle in 1980//83, to Lodz and Valencia respectively. With nothing to separate the sides after two legs, the teams met again for an all-or-nothing play-off at the Nep Stadium in Hungary, where the hosts eventually ran out 2-1 winners. Following a comprehensive victory over Strasbourg in the quarter-final, the Reds faced Hungarian outfit Ferencvaros in the last four. Matt Busby's men made light work of Swedish side Djurgardens and German giants Borussia Dortmund, scoring 17 goals across the pair of two-legged ties, before seeing off Everton on aggregate in the third round. United narrowly missed out on the final during the club's first involvement in the competition in 1964/65, when it was known as the Inter-City Fairs Cup. Perhaps most importantly, however, the 2-0 victory over Ajax at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden came just two days after Manchester had been hit by a devastating tragedy - a terror attack following a concert at the city's famous Arena.
