2. Captain Marvel (1999)

In the 1990s, Serie A was THE league to be in as all the best players in the world flooded to Italy to play for some of Europe’s best teams.

One of those sides was Juventus but, unfortunately for the Old Lady, they came up against Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United treble chasing side.

After a 1-1 draw in the first-leg at Old Trafford, two goals in the first 11 minutes from Filippo Inzaghi looked to had booked Carlo Ancelotti’s side a place in the final.

But then Roy Keane put in a captain’s display that lives long in the memory of many football fans.

The Irishman headed home a David Beckham corner and dominated the midfield area, despite knowing that he would miss the final after picking up a booking.

Lethal strike duo Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole then each scored to take United to the final where an even bigger miracle was needed against Bayern Munich. But we all know about that. .
