Schmeichel & Kahn: On the '99 Champions League Final (Part One)
In the first of a ten part series in which Fanbookz brings you two videos a day from Oliver Kahn (Bayern Munich) and Peter Schmeichel (Manchester United) all week (19th-23rd January), the keepers discuss all things football.
In Part One: Legendary goalkeepers Peter Schmeichel and Oliver Kahn go over their thoughts on the '99 Champions League Final and why Man United were able to get back into the game.
It's football gold, Manchester United's 2-1 win over Bayern Munich, 26th May 1999. Manchester United and Bayern Munich had only met twice in competitive matches before the '99 final, so anything could happen. But after a dodgy start United snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

I love how a lot of older foreign players when referring to United in their native language just say "Manchester". Just a small thing, but it makes me smile.

@Colloquial Soliloquy I'm old enough to remember playing International Superstar Soccer on my N64...ISS 64. It was kind of the sister game to PES; they were both developed by Konami. It was the better game in many people's opinions. They'd have all these ridiculous players that were obviously based on famous characters who they hadn't got the licenses for: so you'd play as Colombia, and there'd be some guy called 'Wildorama' with a huge blonde afro and moustache, that kind of thing. It was a better game in many ways than PES, especially in terms of controls, because ISS could use the N64 analogue stick which meant the players could move in more than just eight directions. so dribbling was more realistic. It was also much faster and more responsive, because it was on cartridge rather than being run off a disc. I don't really enjoy football games anymore, don't know why. I think they've lost their way since the PS2/Xbox days.

@@thesprawl2361 I got ISS pro evolution on PS1 after the first 2 N64 ISS games. PES animation and shooting and passing was vastly superior and realistic on PES. However long passes were much better on the N64. The Snes ISS games were great and the first.

@@alexojideagu Some things were better on N64, others were better on PS. My one abiding memory is that I'd play it quite late at night, once my parents and sisters had gone to bed, and the commentator had this line _'fresh blood is coming on'_ whenever you'd make a substitution. The way he said it was, unintentionally, deeply creepy and used to send a shiver down my spine.

even after 10 or 20 years, they're still the best. Look at the crap we've gotten since then, apart from Van Der Sar and Buffon, even Casillas, who actually belong to their generation, the best are like Neuer, De Gea, Courtois? Far from being monsters, these guys are lightweight compared to the monsters of the past. I keep my hopes on Donnaruma, perhaps the closest to that level in 10 to 20 years.

Keane and Scholes both suspended for that game ripped the heart out of central midfield. We road our luck to be fair but in the end it was what Fergie built into his sides that got them through. Shear determination and willpower to never give in. I was behind the Bayern net in the 2nd half and it's a night I'll never forget.

Oliver Kahn - the new Terminator? : ) Schmeichel's accent - WOW.

I vividly remember this match. I was a teenager when we won the treble. It was *mental* - more emotion in a few minutes than I'd ever felt before. And contrary to everyone else, I didn't feel like we 'always had a chance'. Bayern were an awful, dismal, boring team that season under Hitzfeld: horribly defensive, incredibly boring and dull, with a handful of half-decent players and mostly built on physicality. ....BUT, they were brilliantly organised, and once you went behind to them it was unlikely that you got back into the game. So I didn't see any way back in until those magical last six or seven minutes, when the match started to fray a little at the edges, Bayern hit the post and reality started to wobble and judder, and the whole Bayern house of cards began to collapse. Bayern's strengths were very simple: organisation, mental toughness, physicality and towering Teutonic arrogance. They had Jancker, a huge gormless carnival freak of a centre forward, and they'd often lump it up to him to score, or to hold the ball up. And they scored from a typically flukey, ugly set-piece(which shouldn't have been awarded, since it wasn't a foul). And after that we created very little. We didn't play well either. They were too well organised, and SO defensive. Seriously, they were unbelievably boring to watch. My idea of hell would be watching Ottmar Hitzfeld's Bayern play ninety minutes over and over again. It would have been an *atrocity* if Bayern had won the CL that season. They had played terrible, tedious football all throughout the competition - United, on the other hand, had thrilled the entirety of Europe with some of the greatest matches in the Champions' League's history, from the Barcelona group games to the Juventus semi final. It was divine justice that Bayern lost and United won. Don't get me wrong: Bayern have had great teams over the years. But the Hitzfeld teams were just horrible to watch. They were anti-football. They were also enormously arrogant, with a team full of famous arseholes, like Basler, Matthaus and Effenberg. So it was satisfying to see them crumble in the last couple of minutes, and it was extremely satisfying to snatch the cup out of Lothar Matthaus's grasping greedy hands after he looked so confident coming off in the last few minutes. It remains the most intense moment in my life of watching football. That whole season was so full of crazy rollercoaster reversals and last minute wins(Liverpool in the FA Cup!), and impossible tightrope walk wins that United supporters like me had almost gotten used to something insane happening late on. But this was just...unprecedented. I remember I ran through the house screaming like a lunatic, woke up my little sisters, must've scared the shit out of them, and lost my voice for the next couple of days. Other teams will win trebles. But no-one will win a treble in such an insane way, with such an insanely entertaining, crazy season, with so many epic games in it.

Real high. I've been a goalkeeper for 15 years and idolised Peter from age 9. I learnt all his methods and characteristics and have supported Man Utd as a child. All throughout this series I found myself agreeing with every single point Peter raised on every video. Oliver Kahn is beyond obnoxious in the whole series and can tell he's either not interested in his points, disagrees with his points, doesn't like it when he disagrees and either cuts him off to change subject (Denis Irwin) or ends it completely. And I agree with the bad luck superstition with the hands question. Peter is the only keeper I have no bad word to say over the last 20 years. Only Buffon and we Gea have earned that right since. Thank you Peter for your humility, sense of humour, teachings about respect and all the goalkeeping aspects (which is the least important in the grand scheme of things). I've learnt more about all facets of life and how to be and handle yourself as a person from Peter than any teacher. For the Keepers: 6.25/5
This is so brutal.
