They are the two most dramatic Champions League finals of the modern era: Manchester United’s stoppage-time victory against Bayern Munich to seal the Treble in 1999 and the so-called “Miracle of Istanbul,” when Liverpool overturned a 3-0 half-time deficit against AC Milan to win their fifth European Cup in 2005. One was achieved by a
Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward can be prone to hyperbole, but his latest statement about the financial landscape facing not only his club, one of the biggest in the world, but football in general, should be taken as a blunt reality check of what is facing the game as it attempts to re-emerge from
