How We Turned Around The 1999 Champions’ League Final | Gary Neville
Listen now
Description
If you’re one of Manchester United and England’s greatest full-backs, and a pivotal figure in Sir Alex Ferguson’s golden years, you have a lot of good moments to reflect on, but for Gary Neville, one night in Barcelona stands out above all others. In the latest episode in our ‘A Moment in Time’ series of Performance People with the Inside Tack podcast, Gary took us back to the Nou Camp in 1999 for the remarkable treble-winning moment his United side came back from a goal down to beat Bayern Munich 2-1, with both United’s goals coming in injury time. He shares the lessons the team needed to learn to get over the line, the factors that gave them the belief to turn the game around and the tactical changes that made the difference. It’s a revealing and colourful account of what it felt like to play in the most dramatic and memorable Champions’ League final - including the all-night (and all-morning) celebration that followed. Gary also puts the achievement in context with his whole career and explains why he’s happier now as a pundit and entrepreneur than he ever was as a professional known for his intensity and high standards.
